As a nice side-effect, this allows us to

The terminology (low, high, max, simple slice expr,
full slice expr) is taken from the spec and

This is a trial run. The plan, probably for Go 1.8,
is to change slice expressions to use Node.List
instead of OKEY, and to do some similar

Doesn't sound like a big deal, but the compiler has trouble
eliminating write barriers when using the former method because it
doesn't know that the slice points to the stack.  In the latter
method, the compiler knows the array is on the stack and as a result
doesn't emit any write barriers.

This turns out to be extremely common when building ... args, like
for calls fmt.Printf.

Makes go binaries ~1% smaller.

Doesn't have a measurable effect on the go1 fmt benchmarks,
unfortunately.

Now that we're using 32-bit ops for 8/16-bit logical operations
(to avoid partial register stalls), there's really no need to
keep track of the 8/16-bit ops at all.  Convert everything we
can to 32-bit ops.

This CL is the obvious stuff.  I might think a bit more about
whether we can get rid of weirder stuff like HMULWU.

The only downside to this CL is that we lose some information
about constants.  If we had source like:
  var a byte = ...
  a += 128
  a += 128
We will convert that to a += 256, when we could get rid of the
add altogether.  This seems like a fairly unusual scenario and
I'm happy with forgoing that optimization.

Currently tracer uses global sequencer and it introduces
significant slowdown on parallel machines (up to 10x).
Replace the global sequencer with per-goroutine sequencer.

If we assign per-goroutine sequence numbers to only 3 types
of events (start, unblock and syscall exit), it is enough to
restore consistent partial ordering of all events. Even these
events don't need sequence numbers all the time (if goroutine
starts on the same P where it was unblocked, then start does
not need sequence number).
The burden of restoring the order is put on trace parser.
Details of the algorithm are described in the comments.

On http benchmark with GOMAXPROCS=48:
no tracing: 5026 ns/op
tracing: 27803 ns/op (+453%)
with this change: 6369 ns/op (+26%, mostly for traceback)

Also trace size is reduced by ~22%. Average event size before: 4.63
bytes/event, after: 3.62 bytes/event.

Besides running trace tests, I've also tested with manually broken
cputicks (random skew for each event, per-P skew and episodic random skew).
In all cases broken timestamps were detected and no test failures.
