This CL removes the remaining visible uses of the "architecture letter" concept.
(They are no longer in tool names nor in source directory names.)
Because the architecture letter concept is now gone, delete GOCHAR
from "go env" output, and change go/build.ArchChar to return an
error always.
The architecture letter is still used in the compiler and linker sources
as a clumsy architecture enumeration, but that use is not visible to
Go users and can be cleaned up separately.

This CL fixes the build to use the newly created go tool compile
and go tool link in place of go tool 5g, go tool 5l, and so on.
See golang-dev thread titled "go tool compile, etc" for background.
Although it was not a primary motivation, this conversion does
reduce the wall clock time and cpu time required for make.bash
by about 10%.

If we're benchmarking 8g, use gcc -m32.
If we're benchmarking 6g, use gcc -m64.

-lm must come after the source file, versions of gcc insist this strict order.
On standard compliant systems, we no longer need malloc.h for malloc.
Use pkg-config(1) to get correct glib cflags and libs.
Fix compiler warning in threadring.c and k-nucleotide.c.

Most significant in mandelbrot, from avoiding MOVSD between registers,
but there are others.

Surprise! The C code is using floating point values for its counters.
Its off the critical path, but the Go code and C code are supposed to
be as similar as possible to make comparisons meaningful.
It doesn't have a significant effect.

Moving panic out of line speeds up fannkuch almost a factor of two.
Changes to bitwhacking code affect mandelbrot badly.
