When we do
var x []byte = ...
y := x[i:]
We can't just use y.ptr = x.ptr + i, as the new pointer may point to the
next object in memory after the backing array.
We used to fix this by doing:
y.cap = x.cap - i
delta := i
if y.cap == 0 {
delta = 0
}
y.ptr = x.ptr + delta
That generates a branch in what is otherwise straight-line code.
Better to do:
y.cap = x.cap - i
mask := (y.cap - 1) >> 63 // -1 if y.cap==0, 0 otherwise
y.ptr = x.ptr + i &^ mask
It's about the same number of instructions (~4, depending on what
parts are constant, and the target architecture), but it is all
inline. It plays nicely with CSE, and the mask can be computed
in parallel with the index (in cases where a multiply is required).
It is a minor win in both speed and space.

Marked g register as clobbered by calls.
Fixed shared libraries.
live_ssa.go still disabled because of differences.
Presumably turning on more optimization will fix

Add more ARM64 optimizations:
- use hardware zero register when it is possible.
- use shifted ops.
The assembler supports shifted ops but not documented, nor knows
how to print it. This CL adds them.
- enable fast division.
This was disabled because it makes the old backend generate slower
code. But with SSA it generates faster code.
Turn on SSA by default, also adjust tests.

NaCl code runs in sandbox and there are restrictions for its
instruction uses
(https://developer.chrome.com/native-client/reference/sandbox_internals/arm-32-bit-sandbox).
Like the legacy backend, on NaCl,
- don't use R9, which is used as NaCl's "thread pointer".
- don't use Duff's device.
- don't use indexed load/stores.
- the assembler rewrites DIV/MOD to runtime calls, which on NaCl
clobbers R12, so R12 is marked as clobbered for DIV/MOD.
- other restrictions are satisfied by the assembler.
Enable SSA specific tests on nacl/arm, and disable non-SSA ones.

Some tests disabled, some bifurcated into _ssa and not,
with appropriate logging added to compiler.
"tests/live.go" in particular needs attention.
SSA-specific testing removed, since it's all SSA now.
Added "-run_skips" option to tests/run.go to simplify
checking whether a test still fails (or how it fails)
on a skipped platform.
The compiler now compiles with SSA by default.
If you don't want SSA, specify GOSSAHASH=n (or N) as
an environment variable. Function names ending in "_ssa"
are always SSA-compiled.
GOSSAFUNC=fname retains its "SSA for fname, log to ssa.html"
GOSSAPKG=pkg only has an effect when GOSSAHASH=n
GOSSAHASH=10101 etc retains its name-hash-matching behavior
for purposes of debugging.

The code generated for x = append(x, v) is roughly:
t := x
if len(t)+1 > cap(t) {
t = grow(t)
}
t[len(t)] = v
len(t)++
x = t
We used to generate this code as Go pseudocode during walk.
Generate it instead as actual instructions during gen.
Doing so lets us apply a few optimizations. The most important
is that when, as in the above example, the source slice and the
destination slice are the same, the code can instead do:
t := x
if len(t)+1 > cap(t) {
t = grow(t)
x = {base(t), len(t)+1, cap(t)}
} else {
len(x)++
}
t[len(t)] = v
That is, in the fast path that does not reallocate the array,
only the updated length needs to be written back to x,
not the array pointer and not the capacity. This is more like
what you'd write by hand in C. It's faster in general, since
the fast path elides two of the three stores, but it's especially
faster when the form of x is such that the base pointer write
would turn into a write barrier. No write, no barrier.
