We need to change the interface value representation for
concurrent garbage collection, so that there is no ambiguity
about whether the data word holds a pointer or scalar.
This CL does NOT make any representation changes.
Instead, it removes representation assumptions from
various pieces of code throughout the tree.
The isdirectiface function in cmd/gc/subr.c is now
the only place that decides that policy.
The policy propagates out from there in the reflect
metadata, as a new flag in the internal kind value.
A follow-up CL will change the representation by
changing the isdirectiface function. If that CL causes
problems, it will be easy to roll back.
Update #8405.

Hashing on the bytes instead of the words does
a (much) better job of using all the bits, so that
maps of floats have linear performance.

The implementation 'return 0' results in too many collisions.
