This makes a bunch of changes to package syntax to tweak line numbers
for AST nodes. For example, short variable declaration statements are
now associated with the location of the ":=" token, and function calls
are associated with the location of the final ")" token. These help
satisfy many unit tests that assume the old parser's behavior.
Because many of these changes are questionable, they're guarded behind
a new "gcCompat" const to make them easy to identify and revisit in
the future.
A handful of remaining tests are too difficult to make behave
identically. These have been updated to execute with -newparser=0 and
comments explaining why they need to be fixed.

The liveness computation of parameters generally was never
correct, but forcing all parameters to be live throughout the
function covered up that problem. The new SSA back end is
too clever: even though it currently keeps the parameter values live
throughout the function, it may find optimizations that mean
the current values are not written back to the original parameter
stack slots immediately or ever (for example if a parameter is set
to nil, SSA constant propagation may replace all later uses of the
parameter with a constant nil, eliminating the need to write the nil
value back to the stack slot), so the liveness code must now
track the actual operations on the stack slots, exposing these
problems.
One small problem in the handling of arguments is that nodarg
can return ONAME PPARAM nodes with adjusted offsets, so that
there are actually multiple *Node pointers for the same parameter
in the instruction stream. This might be possible to correct, but
not in this CL. For now, we fix this by using n.Orig instead of n
when considering PPARAM and PPARAMOUT nodes.
The major problem in the handling of arguments is general
confusion in the liveness code about the meaning of PPARAM|PHEAP
and PPARAMOUT|PHEAP nodes, especially as contrasted with PAUTO|PHEAP.
The difference between these two is that when a local variable "moves"
to the heap, it's really just allocated there to start with; in contrast,
when an argument moves to the heap, the actual data has to be copied
there from the stack at the beginning of the function, and when a
result "moves" to the heap the value in the heap has to be copied
back to the stack when the function returns
This general confusion is also present in the SSA back end.
The PHEAP bit worked decently when I first introduced it 7 years ago (!)
in 391425ae. The back end did nothing sophisticated, and in particular
there was no analysis at all: no escape analysis, no liveness analysis,
and certainly no SSA back end. But the complications caused in the
various downstream consumers suggest that this should be a detail
kept mainly in the front end.
This CL therefore eliminates both the PHEAP bit and even the idea of
"heap variables" from the back ends.
First, it replaces the PPARAM|PHEAP, PPARAMOUT|PHEAP, and PAUTO|PHEAP
variable classes with the single PAUTOHEAP, a pseudo-class indicating
a variable maintained on the heap and available by indirecting a
local variable kept on the stack (a plain PAUTO).
Second, walkexpr replaces all references to PAUTOHEAP variables
with indirections of the corresponding PAUTO variable.
The back ends and the liveness code now just see plain indirected
variables. This may actually produce better code, but the real goal
here is to eliminate these little-used and somewhat suspect code
paths in the back end analyses.
The OPARAM node type goes away too.
A followup CL will do the same to PPARAMREF. I'm not sure that
the back ends (SSA in particular) are handling those right either,
and with the framework established in this CL that change is trivial
and the result clearly more correct.

For fallthroughs and switch cases, now also set Xoffset like in

Doing compound arguments (slices, structs, ...) is more complicated

Turn off the automatic marking of args as live. That way, when args

In regalloc, a sparse map is preallocated for later use by
spill-in-loop sinking. However, variables (spills) are added
during register allocation before spill sinking, and a map
query involving any of these new variables will index out of
bounds in the map.
To fix:
1) fix the queries to use s.orig[v.ID].ID instead, to ensure
proper indexing. Note that s.orig will be nil for values
that are not eligible for spilling (like memory and flags).
2) add a test.
Fixes#15585.

This flag is experimental and the semantics may change
even after Go 1.7 is released. There are no changes to code
not using the flag.
The first part is for reading by future compiles.
The second part is for reading by the final link step.
Splitting the file this way allows distributed build systems
to ship the compile-input part only to compile steps and
the linker-input part only to linker steps.
The first part is basically just the export data,
and the second part is basically everything else.
The overall files still have the same broad structure,
so that existing tools will work with both halves.
It's just that various pieces are empty in the two halves.
This also copies the two bits of data the linker needed from
export data into the object header proper, so that the linker
doesn't need any export data at all. That eliminates a TODO
that was left for switching to the binary export data.
(Now the linker doesn't need to know about the switch.)
The default is still to write out a combined output file.
Nothing changes unless you pass -linkobj to the compiler.
There is no support in the go command for -linkobj,
since the go command doesn't copy objects around.
The expectation is that other build systems (like bazel, say)
might take advantage of this.
The header adjustment and the option for the split output
was intended as part of the zip archives, but the zip archives
have been cut from Go 1.7. Doing this to the current archives
both unblocks one step in the switch to binary export data
and enables alternate build systems to experiment with the
new flag using the Go 1.7 release.
