When it is known that there is already at least one element in the
list, it is awkwardly verbose to use three lines and an extra
variable declaration to remove the first or last item (a common
case), rather than use a simple expression.

a stack:
	stk.PushFront(x)
	x = stk.Front().Remove().(T)

vs.
	stk.PushFront(x)
	e := stk.Front()
	e.Remove()
	x = e.Value.(T)
[An alternative CL might be to add PopFront and PopBack methods].

As discussed in http://groups.google.com/group/golang-dev/browse_thread/thread/926b7d550d98ec9e,
add a simple "path expander" function, which returns all the
files matching the given pattern. This function is called Glob
after glob(3) in libc.

Also add a convenience function, hasMeta, that checks whether
a string contains one of the characters which are specially handled
by Match.

Previously we checked the certificate chain from the leaf
upwards and expected to jump from the last cert in the chain to
a root certificate.

Although technically correct, there are a number of sites with
problems including out-of-order certs, superfluous certs and
missing certs.

The last of these requires AIA chasing, which is a lot of
complexity. However, we can address the more common cases by
using a pool building algorithm, as browsers do.

We build a pool of root certificates and a pool from the
server's chain. We then try to build a path to a root
certificate, using either of these pools.

This differs from the behaviour of, say, Firefox in that Firefox
will accumulate intermedite certificate in a persistent pool in
the hope that it can use them to fill in gaps in future chains.

We don't do that because it leads to confusing errors which only
occur based on the order to sites visited.

This change also enabled SNI for tls.Dial so that sites will return
the correct certificate chain.

Prefix all external symbols in runtime by runtime·,
to avoid conflicts with possible symbols of the same
name in linked-in C libraries.  The obvious conflicts
are printf, malloc, and free, but hide everything to
avoid future pain.

The symbols left alone are:

	** known to cgo **
	_cgo_free
	_cgo_malloc
	libcgo_thread_start
	initcgo
	ncgocall

	** known to linker **
	_rt0_$GOARCH
	_rt0_$GOARCH_$GOOS
	text
	etext
	data
	end
	pclntab
	epclntab
	symtab
	esymtab

	** known to C compiler **
	_divv
	_modv
	_div64by32
	etc (arch specific)

Tested on darwin/386, darwin/amd64, linux/386, linux/amd64.

Built (but not tested) for freebsd/386, freebsd/amd64, linux/arm, windows/386.

Previously all the functions took two arguments: src, dst. This is the
reverse of the usual Go style and worth changing sooner rather than
later.

Unfortunately, this is a change that the type system doesn't help
with. However, it's not a subtle change: any unittest worth the name
should catch this.
