This CL adds support of PIE internal linking on darwin/amd64.
This is also preparation for supporting internal linking on
darwin/arm64 (macOS), which requires PIE for everything.

The dlopen function returns an opaque handle, and it is possible for
it to look like a Go pointer, causing garbage collector and cgo
confusion.

In the past, cgo generated Go code and C code. The C code was linked
into a shared library. The Go code was built into an executable that
dynamically linked against that shared library. C wrappers were
exported from the shared library, and the Go code called them.
It was all a long time ago, but in order to permit C code to call back
into Go, somebody implemented #pragma dynexport (https://golang.org/cl/661043)
to export a Go symbol into the dynamic symbol table. Then that same
person added code to cgo to recognize //export comments
(https://golang.org/cl/853042). The //export comments were implemented
by generating C code, to be compiled by GCC, that would refer to C code,
to be compiled by 6c, that would call the Go code. The GCC code would
go into a shared library. The code compiled by 6c would be in the Go
executable. The GCC code needed to refer to the 6c code, so the 6c
function was marked with #pragma dynexport. The important point here is
that #pragma dynexport was used to expose an internal detail of the
implementation of an exported function, because at the time it was
necessary.
Moving forward to today, cgo no longer generates a shared library and 6c
no longer exists. It's still true that we have a function compiled by
GCC that refers to a wrapper function now written in Go. In the normal
case today we are doing an external link, and we use a
//go:cgo_export_static function to make the Go wrapper function visible
to the C code under a known name.
The #pragma dynexport statement has become a //go:cgo_export_dynamic
comment on the Go code. That comment only takes effect when doing
internal linking. The comment tells the linker to put the symbol in the
dynamic symbol table. That still makes sense for the now unusual case
of using internal linking with a shared library.
However, all the changes to this code have carefully preserved the
property that the //go:cgo_export_dynamic comment refers to an internal
detail of the implementation of an exported function. That was
necessary a long time ago, but no longer makes sense.
This CL changes the code to put the actual C-callable function into the
dynamic symbol table. I considered dropping the comment entirely, but
it turns out that there is even a test for this, so I preserved it.
