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.

The previous implementation had several subtle issues.  It's not
clear if any of these could actually be causing the flakiness
problems on openbsd/386, but fixing them should only help.

1. thrsleep() is implemented internally as unlock, then test *abort
(if abort != nil), then tsleep().  Under the current code, that makes
it theoretically possible that semasleep()/thrsleep() could release
waitsemalock, then a racing semawakeup() could acquire the lock,
increment waitsemacount, and call thrwakeup()/wakeup() before
thrsleep() reaches tsleep().  (In practice, OpenBSD's big kernel lock
seems unlikely to let this actually happen.)

The proper way to avoid this is to pass &waitsemacount as the abort
pointer to thrsleep so thrsleep knows to re-check it before going to
sleep, and to wakeup if it's non-zero.  Then we avoid any races.
(I actually suspect openbsd's sema{sleep,wakeup}() could be further
simplified using cas/xadd instead of locks, but I don't want to be
more intrusive than necessary so late in the 1.4 release cycle.)

2. semasleep() takes a relative sleep duration, but thrsleep() needs
an absolute sleep deadline.  Instead of recomputing the deadline each
iteration, compute it once up front and use (*Timespec)(nil) to signify
no deadline.  Ensures we retry properly if there's a spurious wakeup.

3. Instead of assuming if thrsleep() woke up and waitsemacount wasn't
available that we must have hit the deadline, check that the system
call returned EWOULDBLOCK.

4. Instead of assuming that 64-bit systems are little-endian, compute
timediv() using a temporary int32 nsec and then assign it to tv_nsec.

A race exists between the parent and child processes after a fork.
The child needs to access the new M pointer passed as an argument
but the parent may have already returned and clobbered it.

Previously, we avoided this by saving the necessary data into
registers before the rfork system call but this isn't guaranteed
to work because Plan 9 makes no promises about the register state
after a system call. Only the 386 kernel seems to save them.
For amd64 and arm, this method won't work.

We eliminate the race by allocating stack space for the scheduler
goroutines (g0) in the per-process copy-on-write stack segment and
by only calling rfork on the scheduler stack.

The only thing I can see that is really Plan 9-specific
is that the stack pointer used for signal handling used
to have more mapped memory above it.
Specifically it used to have at most 88 bytes (StackTop),
so change the allocation of a 40-byte frame to a 128-byte frame.

No idea if this will work, but worth a try.

Note that "fix" here means get it back to timing out
instead of crashing.

The difference between the old and the new (from earlier) code
is that we set stackguard = stack.lo + StackGuard, while the old
code set stackguard = stack.lo. That 512 bytes appears to be
the difference between the profileloop function running and not running.

We don't know how big the system stack is, but it is likely MUCH bigger than 4k.
Give Go/C 8k.

Start the stack a few words below the actual top, so that
