To date, the C compilers and Go compilers differed only in how
values were returned from functions. This made it difficult to call
Go from C or C from Go if return values were involved. It also made
assembly called from Go and assembly called from C different.
This CL changes the C compiler to use the Go conventions, passing
results on the stack, after the arguments.
[Exception: this does not apply to C ... functions, because you can't
know where on the stack the arguments end.]
By doing this, the CL makes it possible to rewrite C functions into Go
one at a time, without worrying about which languages call that
function or which languages it calls.
This CL also updates all the assembly files in package runtime to use
the new conventions. Argument references of the form 40(SP) have
been rewritten to the form name+10(FP) instead, and there are now
Go func prototypes for every assembly function called from C or Go.
This means that 'go vet runtime' checks effectively every assembly
function, and go vet's output was used to automate the bulk of the
conversion.
Some functions, like seek and nsec on Plan 9, needed to be rewritten.
Many assembly routines called from C were reading arguments
incorrectly, using MOVL instead of MOVQ or vice versa, especially on
the less used systems like openbsd.
These were found by go vet and have been corrected too.
If we're lucky, this may reduce flakiness on those systems.
Tested on:
darwin/386
darwin/amd64
linux/arm
linux/386
linux/amd64
If this breaks another system, the bug is almost certainly in the
sys_$GOOS_$GOARCH.s file, since the rest of the CL is tested
by the combination of the above systems.

The DISPATCH and CALLFN macro definitions depend on an inconsistency
between the internal cpp mini-implementation and the language proper in
whether center-dot is an identifier character. The macro depends on it not
being an identifier character, but the resulting code depends on it being one.
Remove the dependence on the inconsistency by placing the center-dot into
the macro invocation rather that the body.
No semantic change. This is just renaming macro arguments.

This change introduces gomallocgc, a Go clone of mallocgc.
Only a few uses have been moved over, so there are still
lots of uses from C. Many of these C uses will be moved
over to Go (e.g. in slice.goc), but probably not all.
What should remain of C's mallocgc is an open question.

The runtime has historically held two dedicated values g (current goroutine)
and m (current thread) in 'extern register' slots (TLS on x86, real registers
backed by TLS on ARM).
This CL removes the extern register m; code now uses g->m.
On ARM, this frees up the register that formerly held m (R9).
This is important for NaCl, because NaCl ARM code cannot use R9 at all.

The monotonic clock patch changed all runtime times
to abstract monotonic time. As the result user-visible
MemStats.LastGC become monotonic time as well.
Restore Unix time for LastGC.
This is the simplest way to expose time.now to runtime that I found.
Another option would be to change time.now to C called
int64 runtime.unixnanotime() and then express time.now in terms of it.
But this would require to introduce 2 64-bit divisions into time.now.
Another option would be to change time.now to C called
void runtime.unixnanotime1(struct {int64 sec, int32 nsec} *now)
and then express both time.now and runtime.unixnanotime in terms of it.
Fixes#7852.

For non-closure functions, the context register is uninitialized
on entry and will not be used, but morestack saves it and then the
garbage collector treats it as live. This can be a source of memory
leaks if the context register points at otherwise dead memory.
Avoid this by introducing a parallel set of morestack functions
that clear the context register, and use those for the non-closure functions.
I hope this will help with some of the finalizer flakiness, but it probably won't.
Fixes#7244.
