Change two-bit stack map entries to encode:
0 = dead
1 = scalar
2 = pointer
3 = multiword
If multiword, the two-bit entry for the following word encodes:
0 = string
1 = slice
2 = iface
3 = eface
That way, during stack scanning we can check if a string
is zero length or a slice has zero capacity. We can avoid
following the contained pointer in those cases. It is safe
to do so because it can never be dereferenced, and it is
desirable to do so because it may cause false retention
of the following block in memory.
Slice feature turned off until issue 7564 is fixed.

When enabled this new debugging mode will allocate objects on
their own page and never recycle memory addresses. This is an
essential tool to root cause a broad class of heap corruption.

Originally the requirement was f(x) where f's argument is
exactly x's type.
CL 11858043 relaxed the requirement in a non-standard
way: f's argument must be exactly x's type or interface{}.
If we're going to relax the requirement, it should be done
in a way consistent with the rest of Go. This CL allows f's
argument to have any type for which x is assignable;
that's the same requirement the compiler would impose
if compiling f(x) directly.
Fixes#5368.

Design at http://golang.org/s/go12symtab.
This enables some cleanup of the garbage collector metadata
that will be done in future CLs.
This CL does not move the old symtab and pclntab back into
an unmapped section of the file. That's a bit tricky and will be
done separately.
Fixes#4020.

Currently it replaces GOGCTRACE env var (GODEBUG=gctrace=1).
The plan is to extend it with other type of debug tracing,
e.g. GODEBUG=gctrace=1,schedtrace=100.

With this change the compiler emits a bitmap for each function
covering its stack frame arguments area. If an argument word
is known to contain a pointer, a bit is set. The garbage
collector reads this information when scanning the stack by
frames and uses it to ignores locations known to not contain a
pointer.

This provides a way to generate core dumps when people need them.
The settings are:
GOTRACEBACK=0 no traceback on panic, just exit
GOTRACEBACK=1 default - traceback on panic, then exit
GOTRACEBACK=2 traceback including runtime frames on panic, then exit
GOTRACEBACK=crash traceback including runtime frames on panic, then crash

Previously, the func structure contained an inaccurate value for
the args member and a 0 value for the locals member.
This change populates the func structure with args and locals
values computed by the compiler. The number of args was
already available in the ATEXT instruction. The number of
locals is now passed through in the new ALOCALS instruction.
This change also switches the unit of args and locals to be
bytes, just like the frame member, instead of 32-bit words.

Follow morestack, so that crashes during a stack split
give complete traces. Also mark stack segment boundaries
as an aid to debugging.
Correct various line number bugs with yet another attempt
at interpreting the pc/ln table. This one has a chance at
being correct, because I based it on reading src/cmd/ld/lib.c
instead of on reading the documentation.
