gcBgMarkStartWorkers starts several gcBgMarkWorker goroutines. This is called when starting the first GC. If the GC is triggered by a goroutine with pprof labels, then the GC worker goroutines will inherit the pprof labels.

It's worth noting that this can also happen after the first GC if GOMAXPROCS increases.

This makes TestLabelSystemstack much more strict, enabling it to detect
any misplacement of labels.

Unfortunately, there are several edge cases where we may not have an
obviously correct stack trace, so we generally except the runtime
package, with the exception of background goroutines that we know should
not be labeled.

For #50007
For #50032

GC background mark worker goroutines are created when the first GC is
triggered (or next GC after GOMAXPROCS increases). Since the GC can be
triggered from a user goroutine, those workers will inherit any pprof
labels from the user goroutine.

That isn't meaningful, so avoid it by excluding system goroutines from
inheriting labels.

Fixes golang#50032
