This commit fixes two bizarrely related bugs:

1. The signatures for the call* functions were wrong, indicating that
they had only two pointer arguments instead of three. We didn't notice
because the call* functions are defined by a macro expansion, which go
vet doesn't see.

2. deferArgs on a defer object with a zero-sized frame returned a
pointer just past the end of the allocated object, which is illegal in
Go (and can cause the "sweep increased allocation count" crashes).

In a fascinating twist, these two bugs canceled each other out, which
is why I'm fixing them together. The pointer returned by deferArgs is
used in only two ways: as an argument to memmove and as an argument to
reflectcall. memmove is NOSPLIT, so the argument was unobservable.
reflectcall immediately tail calls one of the call* functions, which
are not NOSPLIT, but the deferArgs pointer just happened to be the
third argument that was accidentally marked as a scalar. Hence, when
the garbage collector scanned the stack, it didn't see the bad
pointer as a pointer.

I believe this was all ultimately benign. In principle, stack growth
during the reflectcall could fail to update the args pointer, but it
never points to the stack, so it never needs to be updated. Also in
principle, the garbage collector could fail to mark the args object
because of the incorrect call* signatures, but in all calls to
reflectcall (including the ones spelled "call" in the reflect package)
the args object is kept live by the calling stack.

There was some ambiguity over which argument was referred to when
a conversion error was returned. Now refer to the argument by

This makes grayModel and gray16Model in color.go use the exact same
formula as RGBToYCbCr in ycbcr.go. They were the same formula in theory,
but in practice the color.go versions used a divide by 1000 and the
ycbcr.go versions used a (presumably faster) shift by 16.

This implies the nice property that converting an image.RGBA to an
image.YCbCr and then taking only the Y channel is equivalent to
converting an image.RGBA directly to an image.Gray.

The difference between the two formulae is non-zero, but small:

For very large input files, use of GOSSAFUNC to obtain a dump
after compilation steps can lead to both unwieldy large output
files and unwieldy larger processes (because the output is
buffered in a string).  This flag

  -d=ssa/<phase>/dump:<function name>

provides finer control of what is dumped, into a smaller
file, and with less memory overhead in the running compiler.
The special phase name "build" is added to allow printing
of the just-built ssa before any transformations are applied.

This was helpful in making sense of the gogo/protobuf
problems.

The output format was tweaked to remove gratuitous spaces,
and a crude -d=ssa/help help text was added.

Issues fixed:
* Could not handle quantity of seconds greater than 1<<31 on
32bit machines since strconv.ParseInt did not treat integers as 64b.
* Did not handle negative timestamps properly if nanoseconds were used.
Note that "-123.456" should result in a call to time.Unix(-123, -456000000).
* Incorrectly allowed a '-' right after the '.' (e.g., -123.-456)
* Did not detect invalid input after the truncation point (e.g., 123.123456789badbadbad).

Note that negative timestamps are allowed by PAX, but are not guaranteed
to be portable. See the relevant specification:
<<<
If pax encounters a file with a negative timestamp in copy or write mode,
it can reject the file, substitute a non-negative timestamp, or generate
a non-portable timestamp with a leading '-'.
>>>

Since the previous behavior already partially supported negative timestamps,
we are bound by Go's compatibility rules to keep support for them.
However, we should at least make sure we handle them properly.

Updating the heap profile stats is one of the most expensive parts of
mark termination other than stack rescanning, but there's really no
need to do this with the world stopped. Move it to right after we've
started the world back up. This creates a *very* small window where
allocations from the next cycle can slip into the profile, but the
exact point where mark termination happens is so non-deterministic
already that a slight reordering here is unimportant.

The only reason these flushes are still necessary at all is that
gcmarknewobject doesn't flush its gcWork stats like it's supposed to.
By changing gcmarknewobject to follow the standard protocol, the
flushes become completely unnecessary because mark 2 ensures caches
are flushed (and stay flushed) before we ever enter mark termination.

In the garbage benchmark, this takes roughly 50 µs, which is
surprisingly long for doing nothing. We still double-check after
draining that they are in fact empty.

The pointer checking code needs to know the exact type of the parameter
expected by the C function, so that it can use a type assertion to
convert the empty interface returned by cgoCheckPointer to the correct
type. Previously this was done by using a type conversion, but that
meant that the code accepted arguments that were convertible to the
parameter type, rather than arguments that were assignable as in a
normal function call. In other words, some code that should not have
passed type checking was accepted.

This CL changes cgo to always use a function literal for pointer
checking. Now the argument is passed to the function literal, which has
the correct argument type, so type checking is performed just as for a
function call as it should be.

Since we now always use a function literal, simplify the checking code
to run as a statement by itself. It now no longer needs to return a
value, and we no longer need a type assertion.

This does have the cost of introducing another function call into any
call to a C function that requires pointer checking, but the cost of the
additional call should be minimal compared to the cost of pointer
checking.

Fixes #16591.

Generating binary export data requires a working Go compiler. Even
trickier to change the export data format itself requires a careful
bootstrapping procedure.

Instead, simply generate normal Go code that lets us directly
construct the builtin runtime declarations.

Relevant PAX specification:

If the <value> field is zero length, it shall delete any header
block field, previously entered extended header value, or
global extended header value of the same name.
>>>

We don't delete global extender headers since the Reader doesn't
even support global headers (which the specification admits was
a controversial feature).

Add support for passing reflect.Values to and returning reflect.Values from
any registered functions in the FuncMap, much as if they were
interface{} values. Keeping the reflect.Value instead of round-tripping
to interface{} preserves addressability of the value, which is important
for method lookup.

Change index and a few other built-in functions to use reflect.Values,
making a loop using explicit indexing now match the semantics that
range has always had.

Fixes #14916.

The GNU format does not have a prefix field, so we should make
no attempt to read it. It does however have atime and ctime fields.
Since Go previously placed incorrect values here, we liberally
read the atime and ctime fields and ignore errors so that old tar
files written by Go can at least be partially read.

This fixes half of #12594. The Writer is much harder to fix.

The panic leaves the lock in an unusable state.
Trying to panic with a usable state makes the lock significantly
less efficient and scalable (see early CL patch sets and discussion).

Instead, use runtime.throw, which will crash the program directly.

In general throw is reserved for when the runtime detects truly
serious, unrecoverable problems. This problem is certainly serious,
and, without a significant performance hit, is unrecoverable.
