The compilers assume they can generate temporary variables
as needed to preserve the right semantics or simplify code
generation and the back end will still generate good code.
This turns out not to be true. The back ends will only
track the first 128 variables per function and give up
on the remainder. That needs to be fixed too, in a later CL.
This CL merges temporary variables with equal types and
non-overlapping lifetimes using the greedy algorithm in
Poletto and Sarkar, "Linear Scan Register Allocation",
ACM TOPLAS 1999.
The result can be striking in the right functions.

The call builtin unconditionally tries to convert a second return value from a function to the error type. This fails in case nil is returned, effectively making call useless for functions returning two values.
This CL adds a nil check for the second return value, and adds a test.
Note that for regular function and method calls the nil error case is handled correctly and is verified by a test.

Malformed domain attributes are not sent in a Set-Cookie header.
Instead the domain attribute is dropped which turns the cookie
into a host-only cookie. This is much safer than dropping characters
from domain attribute.
Domain attributes with a leading dot '.' are still allowed, even
if discouraged by RFC 6265 section 4.1.1.

Add new proginfo function that returns information about a
Prog*. The information includes various instruction
description bits as well as a list of required registers set
and used and indexing registers used.
Convert the large instruction switches to use proginfo.
This information was formerly duplicated in multiple
optimization passes, inconsistently. For example, the
information about which registers an instruction requires
appeared three times for most instructions.
Most of the switches were incomplete or incorrect in some way.
For example, the switch in copyu did not list cases for INCB,
JPS, MOVAPD, MOVBWSX, MOVBWZX, PCDATA, POPQ, PUSHQ, STD,
TESTB, TESTQ, and XCHGL. Those were all falling into the
"unknown instruction" default case and stopping the rewrite,
perhaps unnecessarily. Similarly, the switch in needc only
listed a handful of the instructions that use or set the carry bit.
We still need to decide whether to use proginfo to generalize
a few of the remaining smaller switches in peep.c.
If this goes well, we'll make similar changes in 8g and 5g.

On entry to a function, zero the results and zero the pointer
section of the local variables.
This is an intermediate step on the way to precise collection
of Go frames.
This can incur a significant (up to 30%) slowdown, but it also ensures
that the garbage collector never looks at a word in a Go frame
and sees a stale pointer value that could cause a space leak.
(C frames and assembly frames are still possibly problematic.)
This CL is required to start making collection of interface values
as precise as collection of pointer values are today.
Since we have to dereference the interface type to understand
whether the value is a pointer, it is critical that the type field be
initialized.
A future CL by Carl will make the garbage collection pointer
bitmaps context-sensitive. At that point it will be possible to
remove most of the zeroing. The only values that will still need
zeroing are values whose addresses escape the block scoping
of the function but do not escape to the heap.

Prior to this change, pointer maps encoded the disposition of
a word using a single bit. A zero signaled a non-pointer
value and a one signaled a pointer value. Interface values,
which are a effectively a union type, were conservatively
labeled as a pointer.
This change widens the logical element size of the pointer map
to two bits per word. As before, zero signals a non-pointer
value and one signals a pointer value. Additionally, a two
signals an iface pointer and a three signals an eface pointer.
Following other changes to the runtime, values two and three
will allow a type information to drive interpretation of the
subsequent word so only those interface values containing a
pointer value will be scanned.

There are a few different places in the code that escape
possibly-problematic characters like < > and &.
This one was the only one missing &, so add it.
This means that if you Marshal a string, you get the
same answer you do if you Marshal a string and
pass it through the compactor. (Ironically, the
compaction makes the string longer.)
Because html/template invokes json.Marshal to
prepare escaped strings for JavaScript, this changes
the form of some of the escaped strings, but not
their meaning.
