The linker split PKGDEF into (prefix, name, def) pairs,
and defines def to begin after a space following the identifier.
This is totally wrong for the following export data:
func "".FunctionName()
var SomethingCompletelyUnrelated int
The linker would parse
name=`"".FunctionName()\n\tvar`
def=`SomethingCompletelyUnrelated int`
since there is no space after FunctionName.

This CL adds a flag parser that matches the semantics of Go's
package flag. It also changes the linkers and compilers to use
the new flag parser.
Command lines that used to work, like
8c -FVw
6c -Dfoo
5g -I/foo/bar
now need to be split into separate arguments:
8c -F -V -w
6c -D foo
5g -I /foo/bar
The new spacing will work with both old and new tools.
The new parser also allows = for arguments, as in
6c -D=foo
5g -I=/foo/bar
but that syntax will not work with the old tools.
In addition to matching standard Go binary flag parsing,
the new flag parser generates more detailed usage messages
and opens the door to long flag names.
The recently added gc flag -= has been renamed -complete.

More cleanup in preparation for fixing issue 4069.
This CL replaces the three nearly identical copies of the
asmb ELF code with a single asmbelf function in elf.c.
In addition to the ELF code movement, remove the elfstr
array in favor of a simpler lookup, and identify sections by
name throughout instead of computing fragile indices.
The CL also replaces the three nearly identical copies of the
genasmsym code with a single genasmsym function in lib.c.
The ARM linker still compiles and generates binaries,
but I haven't tested the binaries. They may not work.

The Plan 9 symbol table format defines big-endian symbol values
for portability, but we want to be able to generate an ELF object file
and let the host linker link it, as part of the solution to issue 4069.
The symbol table itself, since it is loaded into memory at run time,
must be filled in by the final host linker, using relocation directives
to set the symbol values. On a little-endian machine, the linker will
only fill in little-endian values during relocation, so we are forced
to use little-endian symbol values.
To preserve most of the original portability of the symbol table
format, we make the table itself say whether it uses big- or
little-endian values. If the table begins with the magic sequence
fe ff ff ff 00 00
then the actual table begins after those six bytes and contains
little-endian symbol values. Otherwise, the table is in the original
format and contains big-endian symbol values. The magic sequence
looks like an "end of table" entry (the fifth byte is zero), so legacy
readers will see a little-endian table as an empty table.
All the gc architectures are little-endian today, so the practical
effect of this CL is to make all the generated tables little-endian,
but if a big-endian system comes along, ld will not generate
the magic sequence, and the various readers will fall back to the
original big-endian interpretation.

Before this CL, defining the variable worked fine, but then when

An error during the compilation can be more precise
than an error at link time.
For 'func init', the error happens always: you can't forward
declare an init func because the name gets mangled.
For other funcs, the error happens only with the special
(and never used by hand) -= flag, which tells 6g the
package is pure go.
The go command now passes -= for pure Go packages.

The patch makes the compile user an ordinary package-local
symbol for the name of embedded fields of builtin type.
This is incompatible with the fix delivered for issue 2687
(revision 3c060add43fb) but fixes it in a different way, because
the explicit symbol on the field makes the typechecker able to
find it in lookdot.

remove zerostack compiler experiment; will do at link time instead
««« original CL description
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.
