This CL introduces a new indexed data format for package export
data. This improves on the previous (sequential) binary format by
allowing the compiler to selectively (and lazily) load only the data
that's actually needed for compilation.

In large Go projects, the package export data can become very large
due to transitive type declaration dependencies and inline
function/method bodies. By lazily loading these declarations and
bodies as needed, we avoid wasting time and memory processing
unnecessary and/or redundant data.

In the benchmarks below, "old" is -iexport=false and "new" is
-iexport=true. The suffixes indicate the compiler concurrency (-c) and
inlining (-l) settings used for the build (using -gcflags=all=-foo).
Benchmarks were run on an HP Z620.
