An interface{} is more in the spirit of the original union.
By my calculations, on 64-bit systems this reduces
Addr from 120 to 80 bytes, and Prog from 592 to 424 bytes.

This CL will break any uses of 'go tool 5a' etc.
That is intentional.
Code that invokes an assembler directly should be updated to use go tool asm.
We plan to keep the old5a around for bit-for-bit verification during
the release testing phase, but we plan to remove those tools for the
actual release. Renaming the directory now makes sure that lingering
references to 'go tool 5a' will be caught, changed to use asm, and
tested during the release evaluation.
