The file is used by assembly code to define symbols like NOSPLIT.
Having it hidden inside the cmd directory makes it hard to access
outside the standard repository.
Solution: As with a couple of other files used by cgo, copy the
file into the pkg directory and add a -I argument to the assembler
to access it. Thus one can write just
#include "textflag.h"
in .s files.
The names in runtime are not updated because in the boot sequence the
file has not been copied yet when runtime is built. All other .s files
in the repository are updated.
Changes to doc/asm.html, src/cmd/dist/build.c, and src/cmd/go/build.go
are hand-made. The rest are just the renaming done by a global
substitution. (Yay sam).

The >>1 shift needs to happen before converting to int32, otherwise
large values will decode with an incorrect sign bit.
The <<31 shift can happen before or after, but before is consistent
with liblink and the go12symtab doc.

The new code is adapted from the Go 1.2 nosplit code,
but it does not have the bug reported in issue 7623:
g% go run nosplit.go
g% go1.2 run nosplit.go
BUG
rejected incorrectly:
main 0 call f; f 120
linker output:
# _/tmp/go-test-nosplit021064539
main.main: nosplit stack overflow
120 guaranteed after split check in main.main
112 on entry to main.f
-8 after main.f uses 120
g%

Without the leaf bit, the linker cannot record
the correct frame size in the symbol table, and
then stack traces get mangled. (Only for ARM.)

The relocation and automatic variable types were using
arch-specific numbers. Introduce portable enumerations
instead.
To the best of my knowledge, these are the only arch-specific
bits left in the new object file format.
Remove now, before Go 1.3, because file formats are forever.

There are changes we know we want to make, but not before Go 1.3
Add a version number so that we can make them more easily later.

The code was returning the original value rather than the cloned value
resulting in the tests not being repeatable.
Fixes#7111.

The hex dumps will diff better, and I hope they will avoid
a repeat of http://bugs.debian.org/716853.
The CL will probably show the testdata diffs as "binary",
but in fact the binary versions are being replaced by
textual hex dumps (output of hexdump -C).
