Revert workaround in compiler and
revert test for compiler workaround.

Tested that the 386 build continues to fail if
the gc change is made without the reflect change.

Does as much as possible in data layout instead
of during the init function.

Handles var x = y; var y = z as a special case too,
because it is so prevalent in package unicode
(var Greek = _Greek; var _Greek = []...).

Introduces InitPlan description of initialized data
so that it can be traversed multiple times (for example,
in the copy handler).

Cuts package unicode's init function size by 8x.
All that remains there is map initialization, which
is on the chopping block too.

Fixes sinit.go test case.

Aggregate DATA instructions at end of object file.

Checkpoint.  More to come.

#include "go.h" (or "gg.h")

becomes

#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>
#include "go.h"

so that go.y can #include <stdio.h>
after <u.h> but before "go.h".
This is necessary on Plan 9.

The ld time was dominated by symbol table processing, so
  * increase hash table size
  * emit fewer symbols in gc (just 1 per string, 1 per type)
  * add read-only lookup to avoid creating spurious symbols
  * add linked list to speed whole-table traversals

Breaks dwarf generator (no idea why), so disable dwarf.

Reduces time for 6l to link godoc by 25%.

Change unsafe.Pointer to be its own kind of
type, instead of making it equivalent to *any.
The change complicates import and export
but avoids the need to find all the places that
operate on pointers but should not operate on
unsafe.Pointer.

Fixes #1582.

5g/6g/8g: add import statements to export metadata, mapping package path to package name.
	recognize "" as the path of the package in export metadata.
	use "" as the path of the package in object symbol names.

5c/6c/8c, 5a/6a/8a: rewrite leading . to "". so that ·Sin means Sin in this package.

5l/6l/8l: rewrite "" in symbol names as object files are read.

gotest: handle new symbol names.

gopack: handle new import lines in export metadata.

Collectively, these changes eliminate the assumption of a global
name space in the object file formats.  Higher level pieces such as
reflect and the computation of type hashes still depend on the
assumption; we're not done yet.
