Write more runtime tests and fix bugs
This change adds tests for the new memory manager code particularly with
its windows support. Function call tracing now works reliably on Silicon
since our function hooker was missing new Apple self-modifying code APIs

Many tests that were disabled a long time ago on aarch64 are reactivated
by this change, now that arm support is on equal terms with x86. There's
been a lot of places where ftrace could cause deadlocks, which have been
hunted down across all platforms thanks to new tests. A bug in Windows's
kill() function has been identified.

Make threads faster and more reliable
This change doubles the performance of thread spawning. That's thanks to
our new stack manager, which allows us to avoid zeroing stacks. It gives
us 15µs spawns rather than 30µs spawns on Linux. Also, pthread_exit() is
faster now, since it doesn't need to acquire the pthread GIL. On NetBSD,
that helps us avoid allocating too many semaphores. Even if that happens
we're now able to survive semaphores running out and even memory running
out, when allocating *NSYNC waiter objects. I found a lot more rare bugs
in the POSIX threads runtime that could cause things to crash, if you've
got dozens of threads all spawning and joining dozens of threads. I want
cosmo to be world class production worthy for 2025 so happy holidays all
