Add nacl.bash, the NaCl version of all.bash.
It's a separate script because it builds a variant of package syscall
with a large zip file embedded in it, containing all the input files
needed for tests.
Disable various tests new since the last round, mostly the ones using os/exec.
Fixes#7945.

The garbage collector poison pointers
(0x6969696969696969 and 0x6868686868686868)
are malformed addresses on amd64.
That is, they are not 48-bit addresses sign extended
to 64 bits. This causes a different kind of hardware fault
than the usual 'unmapped page' when accessing such
an address, and OS X 10.9.2 sends the resulting SIGSEGV
incorrectly, making it look like it was user-generated
rather than kernel-generated and does not include the
faulting address. This means that in GODEBUG=gcdead=1
mode, if there is a bug and something tries to dereference
a poisoned pointer, the runtime delivers the SIGSEGV to
os/signal and returns to the faulting code, which faults
again, causing the process to hang instead of crashing.
Fix by rewriting "user-generated" SIGSEGV on OS X to
look like a kernel-generated SIGSEGV with fault address
0xb01dfacedebac1e.
I chose that address because (1) when printed in hex
during a crash, it is obviously spelling out English text,
(2) there are no current Google hits for that pointer,
which will make its origin easy to find once this CL
is indexed, and (3) it is not an altogether inaccurate
description of the situation.
Add a test. Maybe other systems will break too.

SetPanicOnFault allows recovery from unexpected memory faults.
This can be useful if you are using a memory-mapped file
or probing the address space of the current program.

Because profiling signals can arrive at any time, we must
handle the case where a profiling signal arrives halfway
through a goroutine switch. Luckily, although there is much
to think through, very little needs to change.

If the values being compared have different concrete types,
then they're clearly unequal without needing to invoke the
actual interface compare routine. This speeds tests for
specific values, like if err == io.EOF, by about 3x.
