This CL adds a .pdata section to the PE file generated by the Go linker. The .pdata section is a standard section [1] that contains an array of function table entries that are used for stack unwinding. The table entries layout is taken from [2]. This CL just generates the table entries without any unwinding information, which is enough to start doing some E2E tests between the Go linker and the Win32 APIs. The goal of the .pdata table is to allow Windows retrieve unwind information for a function at a given PC. It does so by doing a binary search on the table, looking for an entry that meets BeginAddress >= PC < EndAddress. Each table entry takes 12 bytes and only non-leaf functions with frame pointer needs an entry on the .pdata table. The result is that PE binaries will be ~0.7% bigger due to the unwind information, a reasonable amount considering the benefits in debuggability.
