Also change the span-dependent jump algorithm
to use fewer iterations:
* resolve forward jumps at their targets (comefrom list)
* mark jumps as small or big and only do small->big
* record whether a jump failed to be encodable
These changes mean that a function with only small
jumps can be laid out in a single iteration, and the
vast majority of functions take just two iterations.
I was seeing a maximum of 5 iterations before; the
max now is 3 and there are fewer that get even that far.

* 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.

* remove now-unused D_SBIG (was for typestrings)
* rename elf64.[ch] to elf.[ch]
* pull in elf headers from FreeBSD instead of writing our own
* emit non-header ELF data in data section
* stub out a few more ELF sections needed for dynamic loading

into gc directory, where it gets included as ../gc/ldbody
this is similar to the assemblers including ../cc/lexbody
and ../cc/macbody.
* hook go-specific loader code into 8l.
* make current 8.out.h and 6.out.h backward compatible
with plan 9's versions. i had added some constants in
the middle of enums and have now moved them to the end.
this keeps us from invalidating old .8 and .6 files.
not sure how much it really matters, but easy to do.

these guys really really want long to be 32-bits,
so ,s/long/int32/ (and then manual fixup).
still passes all tests.
(i started out looking for just those longs that
needed to be int32 instead, and it was just too hard
to track them down one by one.)
the longs were rare enough that i don't think
it will cause integration problems.
