We allocate scannable memory w/o type only in few places in runtime.
All these cases are not-performance critical (e.g. G or finq args buffer),
and in long term they all need to go away.
It's not worth it to have special code for this case in mallocgc.
So use special fake "notype" type for such allocations.

Newly allocated memory is subtracted from inuse, while it was never added to inuse.
Span leftovers are subtracted from both inuse and idle,
while they were never added.

We need to change the interface value representation for
concurrent garbage collection, so that there is no ambiguity
about whether the data word holds a pointer or scalar.
This CL does NOT make any representation changes.
Instead, it removes representation assumptions from
various pieces of code throughout the tree.
The isdirectiface function in cmd/gc/subr.c is now
the only place that decides that policy.
The policy propagates out from there in the reflect
metadata, as a new flag in the internal kind value.
A follow-up CL will change the representation by
changing the isdirectiface function. If that CL causes
problems, it will be easy to roll back.
Update #8405.

Improve performance of move-to-front by using cache-friendly
copies instead of doubly-linked list. Simplify so that the
underlying slice is the object. Remove the n=0 special case,
which was actually slower with the copy approach.

Currently we do the following dance after sweeping a span:
1. lock mcentral
2. remove the span from a list
3. unlock mcentral
4. unmark span
5. lock mheap
6. insert the span into heap
7. unlock mheap
8. lock mcentral
9. observe empty list
10. unlock mcentral
11. lock mheap
12. grab the span
13. unlock mheap
14. mark span
15. lock mcentral
16. insert the span into empty list
17. unlock mcentral
This change short-circuits this sequence to nothing,
that is, we just cache and use the span after sweeping.
This gives us functionality similar (even better) to tcmalloc's transfer cache.

Mallocgc must be atomic wrt GC, but for performance reasons
don't acquirem/releasem on fast path. The code does not have
split stack checks, so it can't be preempted by GC.
Functions like roundup/add are inlined. And onM/racemalloc are nosplit.
Also add debug code that checks these assumptions.

When building golang, the environment variable GOROOT_FINAL can be set
to indicate a different installation location from the build
location. This works fine, except that the goc2c build step embeds
line numbers in the resulting c source files that refer to the build
location, no the install location.
This would not be a big deal, except that in turn the linker uses the
location of runtime/string.goc to embed the gdb script in the
resulting binary and as a net result, the debugger now complains that
the script is outside its load path (it has the install location
configured).
See https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=8524 for the full
description.

In cgo, now that recursive calls to typeConv.Type() always work,
we can more robustly calculate the array sizes based on the size
of our element type.
Also, in debug/dwarf, the decision to call zeroType is made
based on a type's usage within a particular struct, but dwarf.Type
values are cached in typeCache, so the modification might affect
uses of the type in other structs. Current compilers don't appear
to share DWARF type entries for "[]foo" and "[0]foo", but they also
don't consistently share type entries in other cases. Arguably
modifying the types is an improvement in some cases, but varying
translated types according to compiler whims seems like a bad idea.
Lastly, also in debug/dwarf, zeroType only needs to rewrite the
top-level dimension, and only if the rest of the array size is
non-zero.
Fixes#8428.

On the plus side, we don't need to change the bits on malloc and free.
On the downside, we need to mark objects in the free lists during GC.
But the free lists are small at GC time, so it should be a net win.
