Current interface assumes that Go calls ProcWire/ProcUnwire
to establish the association between thread and proc.
With the wisdom of hindsight, this interface does not work
very well. I had to sprinkle Go scheduler with wire/unwire
calls, and any mistake leads to hard to debug crashes.
This is not something one wants to maintian.
Fortunately, there is a simpler solution. We can ask Go
runtime as to what is the current Processor, and that
question is very easy to answer on Go side.
Switch to such interface.

This is reincarnation of http://reviews.llvm.org/D17648 with the bug fix pointed out by Adhemerval (zatrazz).
Currently ThreadState holds both logical state (required for race-detection algorithm, user-visible)
and physical state (various caches, most notably malloc cache). Move physical state in a new
Process entity. Besides just being the right thing from abstraction point of view, this solves several
problems:
Cache everything on P level in Go. Currently we cache on a mix of goroutine and OS thread levels.
This unnecessary increases memory consumption.
Properly handle free operations in Go. Frees are issue by GC which don't have goroutine context.
As the result we could not do anything more than just clearing shadow. For example, we leaked
sync objects and heap block descriptors.
This will allow to get rid of libc malloc in Go (now we have Processor context for internal allocator cache).
This in turn will allow to get rid of dependency on libc entirely.
Potentially we can make Processor per-CPU in C++ mode instead of per-thread, which will
reduce resource consumption.
The distinction between Thread and Processor is currently used only by Go, C++ creates Processor per OS thread,
which is equivalent to the current scheme.
