    This is a follow-up to CL 5978051.
    Use kernel cas64 helper if we can, fallback to LDREXD/STREXD if
    we are on ARMv6 or higher, and to lock-emulated cas64 if on ARMv5.
    A future CL will fix {Add,Load,Store}{Int,Uint}64 and issue 3331.

Some newer Linux distributions (Ubuntu ARM at least) use a new multiarch
directory organization, where dynamic linker is no longer in the hardcoded
path in our linker.
For example, Ubuntu 12.04 ARM hardfloat places its dynamic linker at
/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ld-linux.so.3

Ref: http://lackof.org/taggart/hacking/multiarch/

Also, to support Debian GNU/kFreeBSD as a FreeBSD variant, we need this capability, so it's part of issue 3533.

This CL add a new pragma (#pragma dynlinker "path") to cc.

1. In CL 5989057, I made a mistake in the last minute change.
"MOVW.W R4, -4(SP)" should really be "MOVW.W R4, -4(R13)",
as 5l will rewrite offset for SP.
2. misc/cgo/test/issue1560.go tests for parallel sleep of 1s,
but on ARM, the deadline is frequently missed, so change sleep
time to 2s on ARM.

This adds proper note handling for Plan 9,
and fixes the issue of properly killing go procs.
Without this change, the first go proc that dies
(using runtime·exit()) would kill all the running
go procs. Proper signal handling is needed.

This makes it possible to inline the prefetch of upcoming
memory addresses during garbage collection, instead of
needing to flush registers, make a function call, and
reload registers.  On garbage collection-heavy workloads,
this results in a 5% speedup.

The first bug was that tertiary ignorables had the same colElem as
implicit colElems, yielding unexpected results. The current encoding
ensures that a non-implicit colElem is never 0.  This fix uncovered
another bug of the trie that indexed incorrectly into the null block.
This was caused by an unfinished optimization that would avoid the
need to max out the most-significant bits of continuation bytes.
This bug was also present in the trie used in exp/norm and has been
fixed there as well. The appearence of the bug was rare, as the lower
blocks happened to be nearly nil.
