The argsize PCDATA was specifying the number of
bytes passed to a function call, so that if the function
did not specify its argument count, the garbage collector
could use the call site information to scan those bytes
conservatively. We don't do that anymore, so stop
generating the information.

https://golang.org/cl/139530043

The goal here is to commit fully to having precise information
about stack frames. If we need information we don't have,
crash instead of assuming we should scan conservatively.

Since the stack copying assumes fully precise information,
any crashes during garbage collection that are introduced by
this CL are crashes that could have happened during stack
copying instead. Those are harder to find because stacks are
copied much less often than the garbage collector is invoked.

In service of that goal, remove ARGSIZE macros from
asm_*.s, change switchtoM to have no arguments
(it doesn't have any live arguments), and add
args and locals information to some frames that
can call back into Go.

makeFuncStub and methodValueStub are used by reflect as
generic function implementations. Each call might have
different arguments. Extract those arguments from the
closure data instead of assuming it is the same each time.

Because the argument map is now being extracted from the
function itself, we don't need the special cases in reflect.Call
anymore, so delete those.

Fixes an occasional crash seen when stack copying does
not update makeFuncStub's arguments correctly.

Will also help make it safe to require stack maps in the
garbage collector.

Before, Syscall and friends were having their arguments
treated conservatively. Now they will use the Go prototype,
which will mean the arguments are not considered pointers
at all.

This is safe because of CL 139360044.

The fact that all these non-Solaris systems were using
conservative scanning of the Syscall arguments is why
the failure that prompted CL 139360044 was only
observed on Solaris, which does something completely different.
If we'd done this earlier, we'd have seen the Solaris
failure in more places.

The goal here is to allow assembly functions to appear in the middle
of a Go stack (having called other code) and still record enough information
about their pointers so that stack copying and garbage collection can handle
them precisely. Today, these frames are handled only conservatively.

If you write

        func myfunc(x *float64) (y *int)

(with no body, an 'extern' declaration), then the Go compiler now emits
a liveness bitmap for use from the assembly definition of myfunc.
The bitmap symbol is myfunc.args_stackmap and it contains two bitmaps.
The first bitmap, in effect at function entry, marks all inputs as live.
The second bitmap, not in effect at function entry, marks the outputs
live as well.

In funcdata.h, define new assembly macros:

GO_ARGS opts in to using the Go compiler-generated liveness bitmap
for the current function.

GO_RESULTS_INITIALIZED indicates that the results have been initialized
and need to be kept live for the remainder of the function; it causes a
switch to the second generated bitmap for the assembly code that follows.

NO_LOCAL_POINTERS indicates that there are no pointers in the
local variables being stored in the function's stack frame.

Details: Until now, when we saw a key:value pair that fit onto
a single line, we assumed that it should be formatted with a
vtab after the ':' for alignment of its value. This leads to
odd behavior if there are more than one such pair on a line.
This CL changes the behavior such that alignment is only used
for the first pair on a line. This preserves existing behavior
(in the std lib we have composite literals where the last line
contains multiple entries and the first entry's value is aligned
with the values on previous lines), and resolves this issue.

No impact on formatting of std lib, go.tools, go.exp, go.net.

A write *p = x that needs a write barrier (not all do)
now turns into runtime.writebarrierptr(p, x)
or one of the other variants.

The write barrier implementations are trivial.
The goal here is to emit the calls in the correct places
and to incur the cost of those function calls in the Go 1.4 cycle.

Performance on the Go 1 benchmark suite below.
Remember, the goal is to slow things down (and be correct).

We will look into optimizations in separate CLs, as part of
the process of comparing Go 1.3 against tip in order to make
sure Go 1.4 runs at least as fast as Go 1.3.
