Unlike C's memmove, Go's memmove must be careful to do indivisible
writes of pointer values because it may be racing with the garbage
collector reading the heap.
We've had various bugs related to this over the years (#36101, #13160,
#12552). Indeed, memmove is a great target for optimization and it's
easy to forget the special requirements of Go's memmove.
The CL documents these (currently unwritten!) requirements. We're also
adding a test that should hopefully keep everyone honest going
forward, though it's hard to be sure we're hitting all cases of
memmove.
