Change https://golang.org/cl/184097 mentions this issue: runtime: use hard heap goal if we've done more scan work than expected

This change makes it so that if we're already finding ourselves in a
situation where we've done more scan work than expected in the
steady-state (that is, 50% of heap_scan for GOGC=100), then we fall back
on the hard heap goal instead of continuing to assume the expected case.

In some cases its possible that we're already doing more scan work than
expected, and if GC assists come in just at that window where we notice
it, they might accumulate way too much assist credit, causing undue heap
growths if GOMAXPROCS=1 (since the fractional background worker isn't
guaranteed to fire). This case seems awfully specific, and that's
because it's exactly the case for TestGcSys, which has been flaky for
some time as a result.

Fixes #28574, #27636, and #27156.
