A new comment directive //go:noescape instructs the compiler
that the following external (no body) func declaration should be
treated as if none of its arguments escape to the heap.
Fixes#4099.

I tried before to make relative imports work by simply
invoking the compiler in the right directory, so that
an import of ./foo could be resolved by ./foo.a.
This required creating a separate tree of package binaries
that included the full path to the source directory, so that
/home/gopher/bar.go would be compiled in
tmpdir/work/local/home/gopher and perhaps find
a ./foo.a in that directory.
This model breaks on Windows because : appears in path
names but cannot be used in subdirectory names, and I
missed one or two places where it needed to be removed.
The model breaks more fundamentally when compiling
a test of a package that lives outside the Go path, because
we effectively use a ./ import in the generated testmain,
but there we want to be able to resolve the ./ import
of the test package to one directory and all the other ./
imports to a different directory. Piggybacking on the compiler's
current working directory is then no longer possible.
Instead, introduce a new compiler option -D prefix that
makes the compiler turn a ./ import into prefix+that,
so that import "./foo" with -D a/b/c turns into import
"a/b/c/foo". Then we can invent a package hierarchy
"_/" with subdirectories named for file system paths:
import "./foo" in the directory /home/gopher becomes
import "_/home/gopher/foo", and since that final path
is just an ordinary import now, all the ordinary processing
works, without special cases.
We will have to change the name of the hierarchy if we
ever decide to introduce a standard package with import
path "_", but that seems unlikely, and the detail is known
only in temporary packages that get thrown away at the
end of a build.
Fixes#3169.

The linker would catch them if gc succeeded,
but too often the cycle manifests as making the
current package and the imported copy of itself
appear as different packages, which result in
type signature mismatches that confuse users.
As a crutch, add the -p flag to say 'if you see an
import of this package, give up early'. Results in
messages like (during gotest in sort):
export_test.go:7: import "sort" while compiling that package (import cycle)
export_test.go:7: import "container/heap": package depends on "sort" (import cycle)
Fixes#2042.

-s now means *disable* escape analysis.
Fix escape leaks for struct/slice/map literals.
Add ... tracking.
Rewrite new(T) and slice literal into stack allocation when safe.
Add annotations to reflect.
Reflect is too chummy with the compiler,
so changes like these affect it more than they should.
