runtime: set up read-only dummy TLS space for needm on Windows
On Windows, TLS is uninitialized for C threads calling into Go code. In this path, before calling into user Go code, we call into needm which runs without an m, but whose purpose is to pick one up. While in Go code, we may occasionally restore the G register from TLS for a number of reasons. Rather than try to flag all these cases, given that needm (and its callees) are already somewhat special, just set up a dummy TLS space for it that's read-only. If it ever actually tries to write to this space (it shouldn't), it will fail loudly. Otherwise, code that restores the G register will simply load a zero value, but that's OK since needm is careful never to require the G at any point, because it doesn't yet have a valid G. Furthermore, by the time needm returns, it will have set up TLS properly for a Windows C thread, so there's no need to do anything extra afterwards. For #40724.
