Trying to make GODEBUG=gcdead=1 work with liveness
and in particular ambiguously live variables.

1. In the liveness computation, mark all ambiguously live
variables as live for the entire function, except the entry.
They are zeroed directly after entry, and we need them not
to be poisoned thereafter.

2. In the liveness computation, compute liveness (and deadness)
for all parameters, not just pointer-containing parameters.
Otherwise gcdead poisons untracked scalar parameters and results.

3. Fix liveness debugging print for -live=2 to use correct bitmaps.
(Was not updated for compaction during compaction CL.)

4. Correct varkill during map literal initialization.
Was killing the map itself instead of the inserted value temp.

5. Disable aggressive varkill cleanup for call arguments if
the call appears in a defer or go statement.

6. In the garbage collector, avoid bug scanning empty
strings. An empty string is two zeros. The multiword
code only looked at the first zero and then interpreted
the next two bits in the bitmap as an ordinary word bitmap.
For a string the bits are 11 00, so if a live string was zero
length with a 0 base pointer, the poisoning code treated
the length as an ordinary word with code 00, meaning it
needed poisoning, turning the string into a poison-length
string with base pointer 0. By the same logic I believe that
a live nil slice (bits 11 01 00) will have its cap poisoned.
Always scan full multiword struct.

7. In the runtime, treat both poison words (PoisonGC and
PoisonStack) as invalid pointers that warrant crashes.

Manual testing as follows:

- Create a script called gcdead on your PATH containing:

        #!/bin/bash
        GODEBUG=gcdead=1 GOGC=10 GOTRACEBACK=2 exec "$@"
- Now you can build a test and then run 'gcdead ./foo.test'.
- More importantly, you can run 'go test -short -exec gcdead std'
   to run all the tests.

Fixes #7676.

While here, enable the precise scanning of slices, since that was
disabled due to bugs like these. That now works, both with and
without gcdead.

The garbage collector poison pointers
(0x6969696969696969 and 0x6868686868686868)
are malformed addresses on amd64.
That is, they are not 48-bit addresses sign extended
to 64 bits. This causes a different kind of hardware fault
than the usual 'unmapped page' when accessing such
an address, and OS X 10.9.2 sends the resulting SIGSEGV
incorrectly, making it look like it was user-generated
rather than kernel-generated and does not include the
faulting address. This means that in GODEBUG=gcdead=1
mode, if there is a bug and something tries to dereference
a poisoned pointer, the runtime delivers the SIGSEGV to
os/signal and returns to the faulting code, which faults
again, causing the process to hang instead of crashing.

Fix by rewriting "user-generated" SIGSEGV on OS X to
look like a kernel-generated SIGSEGV with fault address
0xb01dfacedebac1e.

I chose that address because (1) when printed in hex
during a crash, it is obviously spelling out English text,
(2) there are no current Google hits for that pointer,
which will make its origin easy to find once this CL
is indexed, and (3) it is not an altogether inaccurate
description of the situation.

Add a test. Maybe other systems will break too.

Delaying the runtime.throw until here will print more information.
In particular it will print the signal and code values, which means
it will show the fault address.

Brad has been asking for this for a while.
I have resisted because I wanted to find a more general way to
do this, one that would keep the performance of code introducing
variables the same as the performance of code that did not.
(See golang.org/issue/3512#c20).

I have not found the more general way, and recent changes to
remove ambiguously live temporaries have blown away the
property I was trying to preserve, so that's no longer a reason
not to make the change.

The old limit of 5 was chosen because we didn't actually know how
many bytes of arguments there were; 5 was a halfway point between
printing some useful information and looking ridiculous.

Now we know how many bytes of arguments there are, and we stop
the printing when we reach that point, so the "looking ridiculous" case
doesn't happen anymore: we only print actual argument words.
The cutoff now serves only to truncate very long (but real) argument lists.

In multiple debugging sessions recently (completely unrelated bugs)
I have been frustrated by not seeing more of the long argument lists:
5 words is only 2.5 interface values or strings, and not even 2 slices.
