cmd/gc: add GOEXPERIMENT=zerostack to clear stack on function entry
This is expensive but it might be useful in cases where
people are suffering from false positives during garbage
collection and are willing to trade the CPU time for getting
rid of the false positives.
On the other hand it only eliminates false positives caused
by other function calls, not false positives caused by dead
temporaries stored in the current function call.
The 5g/6g/8g changes were pulled out of the history, from
the last time we needed to do this (to work around a goto bug).
The code in go.h, lex.c, pgen.c is new but tiny.

A fatal error used to happen when escassign-ing a multiple
function return to a single node. However, the situation
naturally appears when using "go f(g())" or "defer f(g())",
because g() is escassign-ed to sink.
Fixes#4529.

In order to add these, we need to be able to find references
to such types that already exist in the binary. To do that, introduce
a new linker section holding a list of the types corresponding to
arrays, chans, maps, and slices.
To offset the storage cost of this list, and to simplify the code,
remove the interface{} header from the representation of a
runtime type. It was used in early versions of the code but was
made obsolete by the kind field: a switch on kind is more efficient
than a type switch.
In the godoc binary, removing the interface{} header cuts two
words from each of about 10,000 types. Adding back the list of pointers
to array, chan, map, and slice types reintroduces one word for
each of about 500 types. On a 64-bit machine, then, this CL *removes*
a net 156 kB of read-only data from the binary.
This CL does not include the needed support for precise garbage
collection. I have created issue 4375 to track that.
This CL also does not set the 'algorithm' - specifically the equality
and copy functions - for a new array correctly, so I have unexported
ArrayOf for now. That is also part of issue 4375.
Fixes#2339.

The code assumed that the only choices were EscNone, EscScope, and EscHeap,
so that it makes sense to set EscScope only if the current setting is EscNone.
Now that we have the many variants of EscReturn, this logic is false, and it was

Avoids problems with local declarations shadowing other names.
We write a more explicit form than the incoming program, so there
may be additional type annotations. For example:
int := "hello"
j := 2
would normally turn into
var int string = "hello"
var j int = 2
but the int variable shadows the int type in the second line.
This CL marks all local variables with a per-function sequence number,
so that this would instead be:
var int·1 string = "hello"
var j·2 int = 2

Current racewalk transformation looks like:
x := <-makeChan().c

runtime.raceread(&makeChan().c)
x := <-makeChan().c

x := <-makeChan().c
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
chan *tmp = &(makeChan().c)
raceread(&*tmp)

Compiling expressions like:
s[s[s[s[s[s[s[s[s[s[s[s[i]]]]]]]]]]]]
make 5g and 6g run out of registers. Such expressions can arise
if a slice is used to represent a permutation and the user wants
to iterate it.
This is due to the usual problem of allocating registers before
going down the expression tree, instead of allocating them in a
postfix way.
The functions cgenr and agenr (that generate a value to a newly
allocated register instead of an existing location), are either
introduced or modified when they already existed to allocate
the new register as late as possible, and sudoaddable is disabled
for OINDEX nodes so that igen/agenr is used instead.

This is an experiment in static analysis of Go programs
to understand which struct fields a program might use.
It is not part of the Go language specification, it must
be enabled explicitly when building the toolchain,
and it may be removed at any time.
After building the toolchain with GOEXPERIMENT=fieldtrack,
a specific field can be marked for tracking by including
`go:"track"` in the field tag:
package pkg
type T struct {
F int `go:"track"`
G int // untracked
}
To simplify usage, only named struct types can have
tracked fields, and only exported fields can be tracked.
The implementation works by making each function begin
with a sequence of no-op USEFIELD instructions declaring
which tracked fields are accessed by a specific function.
After the linker's dead code elimination removes unused
functions, the fields referred to by the remaining
USEFIELD instructions are the ones reported as used by
the binary.
The -k option to the linker specifies the fully qualified
symbol name (such as my/pkg.list) of a string variable that
should be initialized with the field tracking information
for the program. The field tracking string is a sequence
of lines, each terminated by a \n and describing a single
tracked field referred to by the program. Each line is made
up of one or more tab-separated fields. The first field is
the name of the tracked field, fully qualified, as in
"my/pkg.T.F". Subsequent fields give a shortest path of
reverse references from that field to a global variable or
function, corresponding to one way in which the program
might reach that field.
A common source of false positives in field tracking is
types with large method sets, because a reference to the
type descriptor carries with it references to all methods.
To address this problem, the CL also introduces a comment
annotation
//go:nointerface
that marks an upcoming method declaration as unavailable
for use in satisfying interfaces, both statically and
dynamically. Such a method is also invisible to package
reflect.
Again, all of this is disabled by default. It only turns on
if you have GOEXPERIMENT=fieldtrack set during make.bash.
