This CL also replaces similar loops in other stdlib
package tests with calls to AllocsPerRun.

The spec mostly uses the term embedded.
It's too late to change the field name but at least fix the docs.

The new garbage collector (CL 6114046) may find the fake *[]byte value
and interpret its contents as bytes rather than as potential pointers.
This may lead the garbage collector to free memory blocks that
shouldn't be freed.

The existing algorithm did not properly propagate the type
count from one level to the next, and as a consequence it
missed collisions.
Properly propagate multiplicity (count) information to the
next level.

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 old code worked with gc, I assume because the linker
unified identical strings, but it failed with gccgo.

The previous version was created by an idiot. This time, Rog Peppe
wrote the text. Thanks, Rog.
(== doesn't work on slices in general, so it makes no sense to
talk about in the context of DeepEqual.)

This CL makes the runtime understand that the type of
the len or cap of a map, slice, or string is 'int', not 'int32',
and it is also careful to distinguish between function arguments
and results of type 'int' vs type 'int32'.
In the runtime, the new typedefs 'intgo' and 'uintgo' refer
to Go int and uint. The C types int and uint continue to be
unavailable (cause intentional compile errors).
This CL does not change the meaning of int, but it should make
the eventual change of the meaning of int on amd64 a bit
smoother.
Update #2188.

The old code was a depth first graph traversal that could, under the
right conditions, end up re-exploring the same subgraphs multiple
times, once for each way to arrive at that subgraph at a given depth.
The new code uses a breadth first search to make sure that it only
visits each reachable embedded struct once.
Also add fast path for the trivial case.

Consequently, remove many package Makefiles,
and shorten the few that remain.
gomake becomes 'go tool make'.
Turn off test phases of run.bash that do not work,
flagged with $BROKEN. Future CLs will restore these,
but this seemed like a big enough CL already.
