Previously, whether declaring a type which copied the structure of a type it was referenced in via a pointer field would work depended on whether you declared it before or after the type it copied, e.g. type T2 T1; type T1 struct { F *T2 } would work, however type T1 struct { F *T2 }; type T2 T1 wouldn't.
Fixes#667.

The ld time was dominated by symbol table processing, so
* increase hash table size
* emit fewer symbols in gc (just 1 per string, 1 per type)
* add read-only lookup to avoid creating spurious symbols
* add linked list to speed whole-table traversals
Breaks dwarf generator (no idea why), so disable dwarf.
Reduces time for 6l to link godoc by 25%.

This change records more metadata about what
influenced the creation of the object file.
Specifically, if a package imports, say, "fmt" but does not
need to describe any fmt types in its own export data,
that package's object file did not mention the dependency
on "fmt" before. Now it does.
Listing the import is purely informational.
It has no effect on which files are opened or consulted
when importing a package.
Import lines are marked indirect when they are needed
to explain the API but were not imported directly.
For example http imports crypto/tls and exports
a struct with a field of type tls.ConnectionState,
which contains an x509.Certificate. Since http does
not import x509 but needs to explain the x509.Certificate
type in its export data, the import of x509 is marked
as indirect. These import lines were always present;
marking them with the indirect comment makes clear
which were imported directly and which are incidental.

Trivial fix to '// n' comments against etype enum in go.h, as these have
got out of sync.

Change unsafe.Pointer to be its own kind of
type, instead of making it equivalent to *any.
The change complicates import and export
but avoids the need to find all the places that
operate on pointers but should not operate on
unsafe.Pointer.
Fixes#1566. (a different way)
Fixes#1582.

This change removes the special case which existed
for handling the initalization of the main package,
so that other modules named 'main' get properly
initialized when imported.
Note that gotest of main packages will break in most
cases without this.

The pointer will eventually let us find *T given T.
This CL just makes room for it, always storing a zero.

The object files begin with a header that is
$GOARCH
on a line by itself. This CL changes that header to
go object $GOOS $GOARCH release.2011-01-01 4567+
where the final two fields are the most recent release
tag and the current hg version number.
All objects imported into a Go compilation or linked into an
executable must have the same header line, and that header
line must match the compiler and linker versions.
The effect of this will be that if you update and run all.bash
and then try to link in objects compiled with an earlier version
of the compiler (or invoke the wrong version of the compiler),
you will get an error showing the different headers instead
of perhaps silent incompatibility.
Normal usage with all.bash should be unaffected, because
all.bash deletes all the object files in $GOROOT/pkg/$GOOS_$GOARCH
and cleans all intermediate object files before starting.
This change is intended to diagnose stale objects arising when
users maintaining alternate installation directories forget to
rebuild some of their files after updating.
It should help make the adoption of $GOPATH (CL 3780043)
less error-prone.
