cmd/compile: don't instrument copy and append in runtime
Instrumenting copy and append for the race detector changes them to call
different functions. In the runtime package the alternate functions are
not marked as nosplit. This caused a crash in the SIGPROF handler when
invoked on a non-Go thread in a program built with the race detector. In
some cases the handler can call copy, the race detector changed that to
a call to a non-nosplit function, the function tried to check the stack
guard, and crashed because it was running on a non-Go thread. The
SIGPROF handler is written carefully to avoid such problems, but hidden
function calls are difficult to avoid.
Fix this by changing the compiler to not instrument copy and append when
compiling the runtime package. Change the runtime package to add
explicit race checks for the only code I could find where copy is used
to write to user data (append is never used).
