Both stdout and stderr are sent to /dev/null in android
apps. Introducing fatalf allows android to implement its

Based on cl/69170045 by Elias Naur.
There are currently several schemes for acquiring a TLS
slot to save the g register. None of them appear to work
for android. The closest are linux and darwin.
Linux uses a linker TLS relocation. This is not supported
by the android linker.
Darwin uses a fixed offset, and calls pthread_key_create
until it gets the slot it wants. As the runtime loads
late in the android process lifecycle, after an
arbitrary number of other libraries, we cannot rely on
any particular slot being available.
So we call pthread_key_create, take the first slot we are
given, and put it in runtime.tlsg, which we turn into a
regular variable in cmd/ld.
Makes android/arm cgo binaries work.

The code in GC that handles gp->gobuf.ctxt is wrong,
because it does not mark the ctxt object itself,
if just queues the ctxt object for scanning.
So the ctxt object can be collected as garbage.
However, Gobuf.ctxt is void*, so it's always marked and
scanned through G.

A temporary 512 bytes buffer is allocated for every call to
readHeader. This buffer isn't returned to the caller and it could
be reused to lower the number of memory allocations.
This CL improves it by using a pool and zeroing out the buffer before
putting it back into the pool.

The main changes fall into a few patterns:
1. Replace #define with enum.
2. Add /*c2go */ comment giving effect of #define.
This is necessary for function-like #defines and
non-enum-able #defined constants.
(Not all compilers handle negative or large enums.)
3. Add extra braces in struct initializer.
(c2go does not implement the full rules.)
This is enough to let c2go typecheck the source tree.
There may be more changes once it is doing
other semantic analyses.

A TLS slot is reserved by _rt0_.*_plan9 as an automatic and
its address (which is static on Plan 9) is saved in the
global _privates symbol. The startup linkage now is exactly
like that from Plan 9 libc, and the way we access g is
exactly as if we'd have used privalloc(2).
Aside from making the code more standard, this change
drastically simplifies it, both for 386 and for amd64, and
makes the Plan 9 code in liblink common for both 386 and
amd64.
The amd64 runtime code was cleared of nxm assumptions, and
now runs on the standard Plan 9 kernel.
Note handling fixes will follow in a separate CL.

runtime: stack allocator, separate from mallocgc
In order to move malloc to Go, we need to have a
separate stack allocator. If we run out of stack
during malloc, malloc will not be available
to allocate a new stack.
Stacks are the last remaining FlagNoGC objects in the
GC heap. Once they are out, we can get rid of the
distinction between the allocated/blockboundary bits.
(This will be in a separate change.)

The old code's structure needed to track indirections because of the
use of unsafe. That is no longer necessary, so we can remove all
that tracking. The code cleans up considerably but is a little slower.
We may be able to recover that performance drop. I believe the
code quality improvement is worthwhile regardless.

This removes a major unsafe thorn in our side, a perennial obstacle
to clean garbage collection.
Not coincidentally: In cleaning this up, several bugs were found,
including code that reached inside by-value interfaces to create
pointers for pointer-receiver methods. Unsafe code is just as
advertised.
Performance of course suffers, but not too badly. The Pipe number
is more indicative, since it's doing I/O that simulates a network
connection. Plus these are end-to-end, so each end suffers
only half of this pain.
The edit is pretty much a line-by-line conversion, with a few
simplifications and a couple of new tests. There may be more
performance to gain.
