- add buffered stdout to all tools and provide to link ctxt.
- avoid extra \n before ! in .6 files written by assemblers
(makes them match the C compilers).
- use linkwriteobj instead of linkouthist+linkwritefuncs.
- in assemblers and C compilers, record pc explicitly in Prog,
for use by liblink.
- in C compilers, preserve jump target links.
- in Go compilers (gsubr.c) attach gotype directly to
corresponding LSym* instead of rederiving from instruction stream.
- in Go compilers, emit just one definition for runtime.zerovalue
from each compilation.
This CL consists entirely of small adjustments.
The heavy lifting is in CL 39680043.
Each depends on the other.

The funcdata symbol incorrectly named the dead value map the
dead pointer map. The dead value map identifies all dead
values, including pointers and non-pointers, in a stack frame.
The purpose of this map is to allow the runtime to poison
locations of dead data to catch lost invariants.

We are not clearing dead values in the garbage collector so it
is not worth the RSS cost to materialize the data and write it
out to the binary.

This change allows the garbage collector to examine stack
slots that are determined as live and containing a pointer
value by the garbage collector. This results in a mean
reduction of 65% in the number of stack slots scanned during
an invocation of "GOGC=1 all.bash".
Unfortunately, this does not yet allow garbage collection to
be precise for the stack slots computed as live. Pointers
confound the determination of what definitions reach a given
instruction. In general, this problem is not solvable without
runtime cost but some advanced cooperation from the compiler
might mitigate common cases.

Pass as a slice of strings instead. For 2-5 strings, implement
dedicated routines so no slices are needed.
static call counts in the go binary:
2 strings: 342 occurrences
3 strings: 98
4 strings: 30
5 strings: 13
6+ strings: 14
Why? C varags, bad for stack scanning and copying.

This change is part of the plan to get rid of all vararg C calls
which are a pain for getting exact stack scanning.
We allocate a chunk of zero memory to return a pointer to when a
map access doesn't find the key. This is simpler than returning nil
and fixing things up in the caller. Linker magic allocates a single
zero memory area that is shared by all (non-reflect-generated) map
types.
Passing things by reference gets rid of some copies, so it speeds
up code with big keys/values.

This eliminates ~75% of the nil checks being emitted,
on all architectures. We can do better, but we need
a bit more general support from the compiler, and
I don't want to do that so close to Go 1.2.
What's here is simple but effective and safe.
A few small code generation cleanups were required
to make the analysis consistent on all systems about
which nil checks are omitted, at least in the test.

The code for call site-specific pointer bitmaps was not ready in time,
but the zeroing required without it is too expensive to use by default.
We will have to wait for precise collection of stack frames until Go 1.3.
The precise collection can be re-enabled by
GOEXPERIMENT=precisestack ./all.bash
but that will not be the default for a Go 1.2 build.

Fake types describing the internal structure of hashmaps are
generated for use by precise GC.
Generating hash and eq functions for these fake types slows down
the build and wastes space: the go tool binary size is 13MB
instead of 12MB, and the package size on amd64 is 48.7MB instead
of 45.3MB.

Bug #1:
Issue 5406 identified an interesting case:
defer iface.M()
may end up calling a wrapper that copies an indirect receiver
from the iface value and then calls the real M method. That's
two calls down, not just one, and so recover() == nil always
in the real M method, even during a panic.
[For the purposes of this entire discussion, a wrapper's
implementation is a function containing an ordinary call, not
the optimized tail call form that is somtimes possible. The
tail call does not create a second frame, so it is already
handled correctly.]
Fix this bug by introducing g->panicwrap, which counts the
number of bytes on current stack segment that are due to
wrapper calls that should not count against the recover
check. All wrapper functions must now adjust g->panicwrap up
on entry and back down on exit. This adds slightly to their
expense; on the x86 it is a single instruction at entry and
exit; on the ARM it is three. However, the alternative is to
make a call to recover depend on being able to walk the stack,
which I very much want to avoid. We have enough problems
walking the stack for garbage collection and profiling.
Also, if performance is critical in a specific case, it is already
faster to use a pointer receiver and avoid this kind of wrapper
entirely.
Bug #2:
The old code, which did not consider the possibility of two
calls, already contained a check to see if the call had split
its stack and so the panic-created segment was one behind the
current segment. In the wrapper case, both of the two calls
might split their stacks, so the panic-created segment can be
two behind the current segment.
Fix this by propagating the Stktop.panic flag forward during
stack splits instead of looking backward during recover.
Fixes#5406.
