ca7c849da3 386: bump minimum requirement to the Pentium 4
Previously we used the i386 target, probably with all optional features
disabled. However, the Pentium 4 has been released a _long_ time ago and
it seems reasonable to me to take that as a minimum requirement.

Upstream Go now also seems to move in this direction:
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/40255

The main motivation for this is that there were floating point issues
when running the tests for the math package:

    GOARCH=386 tinygo test math

I haven't investigated what's the issue, but I strongly suspect it's
caused by the weird x87 80-bit floating point format. This could perhaps
be fixed in a different way (by setting the FPU precision to 64 bits)
but I figured that just setting the minimum requirement to the Pentium 4
would probably be fine. If needed, we can respect the GO386 environment
variable to support these very old CPUs.

To support this newer CPU, I had to make sure that the stack is aligned
to 16 bytes everywhere. This was not yet always the case.

67de8b490d gc: use raw stack access whenever possible
The only architecture that actually needs special support for scanning
the stack is WebAssembly. All others allow raw access to the stack with
a small bit of assembly. Therefore, don't manually keep track of all
these objects on the stack manually and instead just use conservative
stack scanning.

This results in a massive code size decrease in the affected targets
(only tested linux/amd64 for code size) - sometimes around 33%. It also
allows for future improvements such as using proper stackful goroutines.
