[release-branch.go1.17] runtime: keep //go:cgo_unsafe_args arguments alive to prevent GC

When syscall's DLL.FindProc calls into syscall_getprocaddress with a
byte slice pointer, we need to keep those bytes alive. Otherwise the GC
will collect the allocation, and we wind up calling `GetProcAddress` on
garbage, which showed up as various flakes in the builders. It turns out
that this problem extends to many uses of //go:cgo_unsafe_args
throughout, on all platforms. So this patch fixes the issue by keeping
non-integer pointer arguments alive through their invocation in
//go:cgo_unsafe_args functions.

Fixes #49868.
Updates #49731.
