test16 used to fail with gccgo. The withoutRecoverRecursive
test would have failed in some possible implementations.

The gp->panicwrap adjustment is just fatally flawed.
Now that there is a Panic.argp field, update that instead.
That can be done on entry only, so that unwinding doesn't
need to worry about undoing anything. The wrappers
emit a few more instructions in the prologue but everything
else in the system gets much simpler.
It also fixes (without trying) a broken test I never checked in.
Fixes#7491.

Bug #1:
Issue 5406 identified an interesting case:
defer iface.M()
may end up calling a wrapper that copies an indirect receiver
from the iface value and then calls the real M method. That's
two calls down, not just one, and so recover() == nil always
in the real M method, even during a panic.
[For the purposes of this entire discussion, a wrapper's
implementation is a function containing an ordinary call, not
the optimized tail call form that is somtimes possible. The
tail call does not create a second frame, so it is already
handled correctly.]
Fix this bug by introducing g->panicwrap, which counts the
number of bytes on current stack segment that are due to
wrapper calls that should not count against the recover
check. All wrapper functions must now adjust g->panicwrap up
on entry and back down on exit. This adds slightly to their
expense; on the x86 it is a single instruction at entry and
exit; on the ARM it is three. However, the alternative is to
make a call to recover depend on being able to walk the stack,
which I very much want to avoid. We have enough problems
walking the stack for garbage collection and profiling.
Also, if performance is critical in a specific case, it is already
faster to use a pointer receiver and avoid this kind of wrapper
entirely.
Bug #2:
The old code, which did not consider the possibility of two
calls, already contained a check to see if the call had split
its stack and so the panic-created segment was one behind the
current segment. In the wrapper case, both of the two calls
might split their stacks, so the panic-created segment can be
two behind the current segment.
Fix this by propagating the Stktop.panic flag forward during
stack splits instead of looking backward during recover.
Fixes#5406.

The interpreter's os.Exit now triggers a special panic rather
than kill the test process. (It's semantically dubious, since
it will run deferred routines.) Interpret now returns its
exit code rather than calling os.Exit.
Also:
- disabled parts of a few $GOROOT/tests via os.Getenv("GOSSAINTERP").
- remove unnecessary 'slots' param to external functions; they
are never closures.
Most of the tests are disabled until go/types supports shifts.
They can be reenabled if you patch this workaround:
