Export data was broken after revision 6b602ab487d6
when -l is specified at least 3 times: it makes the compiler
write out func (*T).Method() declarations in export data, which
is not supported.
Also fix the formatting of recover() in export data. It was
not treated like panic() and was rendered as "<node RECOVER>".

The linker split PKGDEF into (prefix, name, def) pairs,
and defines def to begin after a space following the identifier.
This is totally wrong for the following export data:
func "".FunctionName()
var SomethingCompletelyUnrelated int
The linker would parse
name=`"".FunctionName()\n\tvar`
def=`SomethingCompletelyUnrelated int`
since there is no space after FunctionName.

When exporting a body containing
x, ok := v.(Type)
the definition for Type was not being included, so when the body
was actually used, it would cause an "unknown type" compiler error.

This is an experiment in static analysis of Go programs
to understand which struct fields a program might use.
It is not part of the Go language specification, it must
be enabled explicitly when building the toolchain,
and it may be removed at any time.
After building the toolchain with GOEXPERIMENT=fieldtrack,
a specific field can be marked for tracking by including
`go:"track"` in the field tag:
package pkg
type T struct {
F int `go:"track"`
G int // untracked
}
To simplify usage, only named struct types can have
tracked fields, and only exported fields can be tracked.
The implementation works by making each function begin
with a sequence of no-op USEFIELD instructions declaring
which tracked fields are accessed by a specific function.
After the linker's dead code elimination removes unused
functions, the fields referred to by the remaining
USEFIELD instructions are the ones reported as used by
the binary.
The -k option to the linker specifies the fully qualified
symbol name (such as my/pkg.list) of a string variable that
should be initialized with the field tracking information
for the program. The field tracking string is a sequence
of lines, each terminated by a \n and describing a single
tracked field referred to by the program. Each line is made
up of one or more tab-separated fields. The first field is
the name of the tracked field, fully qualified, as in
"my/pkg.T.F". Subsequent fields give a shortest path of
reverse references from that field to a global variable or
function, corresponding to one way in which the program
might reach that field.
A common source of false positives in field tracking is
types with large method sets, because a reference to the
type descriptor carries with it references to all methods.
To address this problem, the CL also introduces a comment
annotation
//go:nointerface
that marks an upcoming method declaration as unavailable
for use in satisfying interfaces, both statically and
dynamically. Such a method is also invisible to package
reflect.
Again, all of this is disabled by default. It only turns on
if you have GOEXPERIMENT=fieldtrack set during make.bash.

summary: gc: fix infinite recursion for embedded interfaces
This is causing 'interface type loop' errors during compilation
of a complex program. I don't understand what's happening
well enough to boil it down to a simple test case, but undoing
this change fixes the problem.
The change being undone is fixing a corner case (uses of
pointer to interface in an interface definition) that basically
only comes up in erroneous Go programs. Let's not try to
fix this again until after Go 1.
Unfixes issue 1909.

flag -l means: inlining on, -ll inline with early typecheck
-l lazily typechecks imports on use and re-export, nicer for debugging
-lm produces output suitable for errchk tests, repeated -mm... increases inl.c's verbosity
export processed constants, instead of originals
outparams get ->inlvar too, and initialized to zero
fix shared rlist bug, that lead to typecheck messing up the patched tree
properly handle non-method calls to methods T.meth(t, a...)
removed embryonic code to handle closures in inlined bodies
also inline calls inside closures (todo: move from phase 6b to 4)

Got rid of all the magic mystery globals. Now
for %N, %T, and %S, the flags +,- and # set a sticky
debug, sym and export mode, only visible in the new fmt.c.
Default is error mode. Handle h and l flags consistently with
the least side effects, so we can now change
things without worrying about unrelated things
breaking.

There is no semantic change here, just better errors.
If a function says it takes a byte, and you pass it an int,
the compiler error now says that you need a byte, not
that you need a uint8.

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.

Collectively, these changes eliminate the assumption of a global
name space in the object file formats. Higher level pieces such as
reflect and the computation of type hashes still depend on the
assumption; we're not done yet.
