This enables to loop over some goroutines, e.g. to print the
backtrace of goroutines 1 to 9:
set $i = 1
while $i < 10
printf "backtrace of goroutine %d:\n", $i
goroutine $i++ bt
end

In order to add these, we need to be able to find references
to such types that already exist in the binary. To do that, introduce
a new linker section holding a list of the types corresponding to
arrays, chans, maps, and slices.
To offset the storage cost of this list, and to simplify the code,
remove the interface{} header from the representation of a
runtime type. It was used in early versions of the code but was
made obsolete by the kind field: a switch on kind is more efficient
than a type switch.
In the godoc binary, removing the interface{} header cuts two
words from each of about 10,000 types. Adding back the list of pointers
to array, chan, map, and slice types reintroduces one word for
each of about 500 types. On a 64-bit machine, then, this CL *removes*
a net 156 kB of read-only data from the binary.
This CL does not include the needed support for precise garbage
collection. I have created issue 4375 to track that.
This CL also does not set the 'algorithm' - specifically the equality
and copy functions - for a new array correctly, so I have unexported
ArrayOf for now. That is also part of issue 4375.
Fixes#2339.

Don't try to print obviously corrupt slices or interfaces.
Doesn't actually solve 3047 or 2818, but seems a good idea anyway.

The map implementation was using the C idiom of using
a pointer just past the end of its table as a limit pointer.
Unfortunately, the garbage collector sees that pointer as
pointing at the block adjacent to the map table, pinning
in memory a block that would otherwise be freed.
Fix by making limit pointer point at last valid entry, not
just past it.

The Dwarf info has the full typenames, the go *struct runtime.commonType
has the short name. A more permanent fix would link the two together
but this way the user gets useable stack traces for now.

in gdb, 'info goroutines' and 'goroutine <n> <cmd> were crashing
because the 'g' and 'm' structures had changed a bit.
