There are some function pointers declared by 6c in
package runtime without initialization and then also
declared in package runtime/cgo with initialization,
so that if runtime/cgo is linked in, the function pointers
are non-nil, and otherwise they are nil. We depend on
this property for implementing non-essential cgo hooks
in package runtime.
The declarations in package runtime are 6c-compiled
and end up in .6 files. The declarations in package runtime/cgo
are gcc-compiled and end up in .o files. Since 6l links the .6
and .o files together, this all works.
However, when we switch to "external linking" mode,
6l will not see the .o files, and it would be up to the host linker
to resolve the two into a single initialized symbol.
Not all host linkers will do this (in particular OS X gcc will not).
To fix this, move the cgo declarations into 6c-compiled code,
so that they end up in .6 files, so that 6l gets them no matter what.

The naming in this package is a disaster.
Make it all consistent.
Remove some 'static' from functions that will
be referred to from other files soon.
This CL is purely renames using global search and replace.
Submitting separately so that real changes will not
be drowned out by these renames in future CLs.

sigprocmask() is process-wide on darwin, so two concurrent
libcgo_sys_thread_start() can result in all signals permanently
blocked, which in particular blocks handling of nil derefs.
Fixes#4833.

Also rename -v to -x in the build and install commands,
to match the flag in go test (which we can't change
because -v is taken). Matches sh -x anyway.
