Move string table to the end of the __LINKEDIT segment.
This change allows Apple's codesign(1) utility to successfully sign
Go binaries, as long as they don't contain DWARF data (-w flag to
8l/6l). This is because codesign(1) expects the string table to be
the last part of the file.

Reduces number of write+seek's from 88516 to 2080
when linking godoc with 6l.
Thanks to Alex Brainman for pointing out the
many small writes.

* Avoid confusion between imported and exported symbols.
* Record number of imported and exported symbols correctly.
* Explictly relocate SMACHOSYM section, since it is not in datap.

More support for references to dynamic symbols,
including full GOT and PLT for ELF objects.
For Mach-O everything ends up in the GOT: dealing
with the real lazy PLT is too hard for now so we punt.

Sub-symbols are laid out inside a larger symbol
but can be addressed directly.
Use to make Mach-O pointer array not a special case.
Will use later to describe ELF sections.
Glimpses of the beginning of ELF loading.

That is, move the pc/ln table and the symbol table
into the read-only data segment. This eliminates
the need for a special load command to map the
symbol table into memory, which makes the
information available on systems that couldn't handle
the magic load to 0x99000000, like NaCl and ARM QEMU
and Linux without config_highmem=y. It also
eliminates an #ifdef and some clumsy code to
find the symbol table on Windows.
The bad news is that the binary appears to be bigger
than it used to be. This is not actually the case, though:
the same amount of data is being mapped into memory
as before, and the tables are still read-only, so they're
still shared across multiple instances of the binary as
they were before. The difference is just that the tables
aren't squirreled away in some section that "size" doesn't
know to look at.
This is a checkpoint.
It probably breaks Windows and breaks NaCl more
than it used to be broken, but those will be fixed.
The logic involving -s needs to be revisited too.
Fixes#871.

Using explicit relocations internally, we can
represent the data for a particular symbol as
an initialized block of memory instead of a
linked list of ADATA instructions. The real
goal here is to be able to hand off some of the
relocations to the dynamic linker when interacting
with system libraries, but a pleasant side effect is
that the memory image is much more compact
than the ADATA list, so the linkers use less memory.

* Maintain Sym* list for text with individual
prog lists instead of using one huge list and
overloading p->pcond.
* Comment what each file is for.
* Move some output code from span.c to asm.c.
* Move profiling into prof.c, symbol table into symtab.c.
* Move mkfwd to ld/lib.c.
* Throw away dhog dynamic loading code.
* Throw away Alef become.
* Fix printing of WORD instructions in 5l -a.
Goal here is to be able to handle each piece of text or data
as a separate piece, both to make it easier to load the
occasional .o file and also to make it possible to split the
work across multiple threads.

6l was skipping emitting the (2 byte) symbol table if there were no imported or exported
symbols. You can't just drop the symbol table entirely - the linker dies if you have
a linkedit section but no table. You can omit the linkedit section or both the linkedit
and the dlyd parts in the right circumstances, but that seems much more risky to me.

The Makefile and cgo now rewrite / to _ when creating the path.
The .so for gosqlite.googlecode.com/hg/sqlite is named
cgo_gosqlite.googlecode.com_hg_sqlite.so, and then 6l and 8l
both include a default rpath of $GOROOT/pkg/$GOOS_$GOARCH.
This should make it easier to move binaries from one system
to another.
Fixes#857.

better mach binaries.
cgo working on darwin+linux amd64+386.
eliminated context switches - pi is 30x faster.
add libcgo to build.
on snow leopard:
- non-cgo binaries work; all tests pass.
- cgo binaries work on amd64 but not 386.
