cmd/link, runtime: mark goexit as the top of the call stack

This CL adds a new attribute, TOPFRAME, which can be used to mark
functions that should be treated as being at the top of the call
stack. The function `runtime.goexit` has been marked this way on
architectures that use a link register.

This will stop programs that use DWARF to unwind the call stack
from unwinding past `runtime.goexit` on architectures that use a
link register. For example, it eliminates "corrupt stack?"
warnings when generating a backtrace that hits `runtime.goexit`
in GDB on s390x.

Similar code should be added for non-link-register architectures
(i.e. amd64, 386). They mark the top of the call stack slightly
differently to link register architectures so I haven't added
that code (they need to mark "rip" as undefined).

Fixes #24385.
