Most significant in mandelbrot, from avoiding MOVSD between registers,
but there are others.

Surprise! The C code is using floating point values for its counters.
Its off the critical path, but the Go code and C code are supposed to
be as similar as possible to make comparisons meaningful.
It doesn't have a significant effect.

Moving panic out of line speeds up fannkuch almost a factor of two.
Changes to bitwhacking code affect mandelbrot badly.

Unexports runtime.MemStats and rename MemStatsType to MemStats.
The new accessor requires passing a pointer to a user-allocated
MemStats structure.
Fixes#2572.

Also delete gotest, since it's messy to fix and slated for deletion anyway.
A couple of things outside src can't be tested any more. "go test" will be
fixed and these tests will be re-enabled. They're noisy for now.
Fixes#284.

I have included a few important microbenchmarks,
but the overall intent is to have mostly end-to-end
benchmarks timing real world operations.
The jsondata.go file is a summary of agl's
activity in various open source repositories.
It gets used as test data for many of the benchmarks.
Everything links into one binary (even the test data)
so that it is easy to run the benchmarks on many
computers: there is just one file to copy around.

Some tests are significantly faster (50%), a few are slower (up to 30%).
Fannkuch is confusing: parallel code is a little slower for gc, non-parallel and all gccgo runs are faster.

Interesting comparisons between old and new machine,
and relationship between gccgo and gc.

- Skip the gccgo tests if we don't have it
- Add -lm so nbody.c will compile
- Pass 2098 to the meteor test (cf. the shootout site)

Changed all uses of bytes.Add (aside from those testing bytes.Add) to append(a, b...).
Also ran "gofmt -s" and made use of copy([]byte, string) in the fasta benchmark.

I tried adding a Scale method to big.Int and it didn't make any noticeable
difference, so I'm removing my TODO.
Also got rid of a few obvious allocations that I missed earlier for a modest
improvement (~5%).

- renamed Len -> BitLen, simplified implementation
- renamed old Div, Mod, DivMod -> Que, Rem, QuoRem
- implemented Div, Mod, DivMod (Euclidian definition, more
useful in a mathematical context)
- fixed a bug in Exp (-0 was possible)
- added extra tests to check normalized results everywhere
- uniformly set Int.neg flag at the end of computations
- minor cosmetic cleanups
- ran all tests

- fixed a couple of bugs in the process
(shift right was incorrect for negative numbers)
- added more tests and made some tests more robust
- changed pidigits back to using shifts to multiply
by 2 instead of add
This improves pidigit -s -n 10000 by approx. 5%:
