The old code's structure needed to track indirections because of the
use of unsafe. That is no longer necessary, so we can remove all
that tracking. The code cleans up considerably but is a little slower.
We may be able to recover that performance drop. I believe the
code quality improvement is worthwhile regardless.

This removes a major unsafe thorn in our side, a perennial obstacle
to clean garbage collection.
Not coincidentally: In cleaning this up, several bugs were found,
including code that reached inside by-value interfaces to create
pointers for pointer-receiver methods. Unsafe code is just as
advertised.
Performance of course suffers, but not too badly. The Pipe number
is more indicative, since it's doing I/O that simulates a network
connection. Plus these are end-to-end, so each end suffers
only half of this pain.
The edit is pretty much a line-by-line conversion, with a few
simplifications and a couple of new tests. There may be more
performance to gain.

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.

This CL removes the special syntax for method receivers and
makes it just like other parameters. Instead, the crucial
receiver-specific rules (exactly one receiver, receiver type
must be of the form T or *T) are specified verbally instead
of syntactically.
This is a fully backward-compatible (and minor) syntax
relaxation. As a result, the following syntactic restrictions
(which are completely irrelevant) and which were only in place
for receivers are removed:
a) receiver types cannot be parenthesized
b) receiver parameter lists cannot have a trailing comma
The result of this CL is a simplication of the spec and the
implementation, with no impact on existing (or future) code.
Noteworthy:
- gc already permits a trailing comma at the end of a receiver
declaration:
func (recv T,) m() {}
This is technically a bug with the current spec; this CL will
legalize this notation.
- gccgo produces a misleading error when a trailing comma is used:
error: method has multiple receivers
(even though there's only one receiver)
- Compilers and type-checkers won't need to report errors anymore
if receiver types are parenthesized.
Fixes#4496.

The number of estimated iterations required to reach the benchtime is multiplied by a safety margin (to avoid falling just short) and then rounded up to a readable number. With an accurate estimate, in the worse case, the resulting number of iterations could be 3.75x more than necessary: 1.5x for safety * 2.5x to round up (e.g. from 2eX+1 to 5eX).
This CL reduces the safety margin to 1.2x. Experimentation showed a diminishing margin of return past 1.2x, although the average case continued to show improvements down to 1.05x.
This CL also reduces the maximum round-up multiplier from 2.5x (from 2eX+1 to 5eX) to 2x, by allowing the number of iterations to be of the form 3eX.
Both changes improve benchmark wall clock times, and the effects are cumulative.
From 1.5x to 1.2x safety margin:
