runtime: use set_thread_area instead of modify_ldt on linux/386

This is a cherry-pick of https://go-review.googlesource.com/21190
to release-branch-go1.4. Diff prepared by Ian Lance Taylor.

linux/386 depends on modify_ldt system call, but recent Linux kernels
can disable this system call. Any Go programs built as linux/386
crash with the message 'Trace/breakpoint trap'.

The kernel config CONFIG_MODIFY_LDT_SYSCALL, which control
enable/disable modify_ldt, is disabled on Amazon Linux 2016.03.

This fixes this problem by using set_thread_area instead of modify_ldt
on linux/386.

Fixes golang#14795.
