This makes it possible to inline the prefetch of upcoming
memory addresses during garbage collection, instead of
needing to flush registers, make a function call, and
reload registers. On garbage collection-heavy workloads,
this results in a 5% speedup.
Fixes#3493.

Change the name of cas() in cc to newcase() to avoid a NIX conflict.
cas() is used in cc to create a new Case struct. There is a name
conflict in that cas() is a commonly-used
name for compare and swap. Since cas() is only used internally
in the compiler in 3 places, change the name to avoid a wider
conflict with the NIX runtime. This issue might well come up on
other OSes in the future anyway, as the name is fairly common.

and make 5c, 8c use them.
centralizes reachability analysis
and switch generation.
now 8c doesn't have spurious warnings
in pkg/runtime.

these guys really really want long to be 32-bits,
so ,s/long/int32/ (and then manual fixup).
still passes all tests.
(i started out looking for just those longs that
needed to be int32 instead, and it was just too hard
to track them down one by one.)
the longs were rare enough that i don't think
it will cause integration problems.
