This change is part of the plan to get rid of all vararg C calls
which are a pain for getting exact stack scanning.
We allocate a chunk of zero memory to return a pointer to when a
map access doesn't find the key. This is simpler than returning nil
and fixing things up in the caller. Linker magic allocates a single
zero memory area that is shared by all (non-reflect-generated) map
types.
Passing things by reference gets rid of some copies, so it speeds
up code with big keys/values.

Types in function scope can have methods on them if they embed another type, but we didn't make the name unique, meaning that 2 identically named types in different functions would conflict with eachother.

Design at http://golang.org/s/go12symtab.
This enables some cleanup of the garbage collector metadata
that will be done in future CLs.
This CL does not move the old symtab and pclntab back into
an unmapped section of the file. That's a bit tricky and will be
done separately.

Requires adding new linker instruction
RET f(SB)
meaning return but then immediately call f.
This is what you'd use to implement a tail call after
fiddling with the arguments, but the compiler only
uses it in genwrapper.
This CL eliminates the copy-and-paste genembedtramp
functions from 5g/8g/6g and makes the code run on ARM
for the first time. It removes a small special case for function
generation, which should help Carl a bit, but at the same time
it does not bother to implement general tail call optimization,
which we do not want anyway.

The type information is (and for years has been) included
as an extra field in the address chunk of an instruction.
Unfortunately, suppose there is a string at a+24(FP) and
we have an instruction reading its length. It will say:
MOVQ x+32(FP), AX
and the type of *that* argument is int (not slice), because
it is the length being read. This confuses the picture seen
by debuggers and now, worse, by the garbage collector.
Instead of attaching the type information to all uses,
emit an explicit list of TYPE instructions with the information.
The TYPE instructions are no-ops whose only role is to
provide an address to attach type information to.
For example, this function:
func f(x, y, z int) (a, b string) {
return
}
now compiles into:
--- prog list "f" ---
0000 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) TEXT f+0(SB),$0-56
0001 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) LOCALS ,
0002 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) TYPE x+0(FP){int},$8
0003 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) TYPE y+8(FP){int},$8
0004 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) TYPE z+16(FP){int},$8
0005 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) TYPE a+24(FP){string},$16
0006 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) TYPE b+40(FP){string},$16
0007 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) MOVQ $0,b+40(FP)
0008 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) MOVQ $0,b+48(FP)
0009 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) MOVQ $0,a+24(FP)
0010 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) MOVQ $0,a+32(FP)
0011 (/Users/rsc/x.go:4) RET ,
The { } show the formerly hidden type information.
The { } syntax is used when printing from within the gc compiler.
It is not accepted by the assemblers.
The same type information is now included on global variables:
0055 (/Users/rsc/x.go:15) GLOBL slice+0(SB){[]string},$24(AL*0)
This more accurate type information fixes a bug in the
garbage collector's precise heap collection.
The linker only cares about globals right now, but having the
local information should make things a little nicer for Carl
in the future.

Export data was broken after revision 6b602ab487d6
when -l is specified at least 3 times: it makes the compiler
write out func (*T).Method() declarations in export data, which

The patch makes the compile user an ordinary package-local
symbol for the name of embedded fields of builtin type.
This is incompatible with the fix delivered for issue 2687
(revision 3c060add43fb) but fixes it in a different way, because
the explicit symbol on the field makes the typechecker able to
find it in lookdot.

Avoids problems with local declarations shadowing other names.
We write a more explicit form than the incoming program, so there
may be additional type annotations. For example:
int := "hello"
j := 2
would normally turn into
var int string = "hello"
var j int = 2
but the int variable shadows the int type in the second line.
This CL marks all local variables with a per-function sequence number,
so that this would instead be:
var int·1 string = "hello"
var j·2 int = 2

Compiling expressions like:
s[s[s[s[s[s[s[s[s[s[s[s[i]]]]]]]]]]]]
make 5g and 6g run out of registers. Such expressions can arise
if a slice is used to represent a permutation and the user wants
to iterate it.
This is due to the usual problem of allocating registers before
going down the expression tree, instead of allocating them in a
postfix way.
The functions cgenr and agenr (that generate a value to a newly
allocated register instead of an existing location), are either
introduced or modified when they already existed to allocate
the new register as late as possible, and sudoaddable is disabled
for OINDEX nodes so that igen/agenr is used instead.

- remove ODCL and the initializing OAS from inl.c:ishairy

The original implementation of closures created the
underlying top-level function during walk, which is fairly
late in the compilation process and caused ordering-based
complications due to earlier stages that had to be repeated
any number of times.
Create the underlying function during typecheck, much
earlier, so that later stages can be run just once.
The result is a simpler compilation sequence.

Pulling function calls out to happen before the
expression being evaluated was causing illegal
reorderings even without inlining; with inlining
it got worse. This CL adds a separate ordering pass
to move things with a fixed order out of expressions

not be reordered by walk.

summary: gc: fix infinite recursion for embedded interfaces
This is causing 'interface type loop' errors during compilation
of a complex program. I don't understand what's happening
well enough to boil it down to a simple test case, but undoing
this change fixes the problem.
The change being undone is fixing a corner case (uses of
pointer to interface in an interface definition) that basically
only comes up in erroneous Go programs. Let's not try to
fix this again until after Go 1.
Unfixes issue 1909.

flag -l means: inlining on, -ll inline with early typecheck
-l lazily typechecks imports on use and re-export, nicer for debugging
-lm produces output suitable for errchk tests, repeated -mm... increases inl.c's verbosity
export processed constants, instead of originals
outparams get ->inlvar too, and initialized to zero
fix shared rlist bug, that lead to typecheck messing up the patched tree
properly handle non-method calls to methods T.meth(t, a...)
removed embryonic code to handle closures in inlined bodies
also inline calls inside closures (todo: move from phase 6b to 4)
