The call to the C function runtime.findnull() requires
that we provide the argument at 0(SP).

The sticking point on 386 has been the "PC relative" relocations
used to point the garbage collection metadata at the type info.
These aren't in the code segment, and I don't trust that the linker
isn't doing something special that would be okay in code but
not when interpreting the pointers as data (for example, a PLT
jump table would be terrible).

Solve the problem in two steps:

1. Handle "PC relative" relocations within a section internally,
so that the external linker never sees them.

2. Move the gcdata and gcbss tables into the rodata section,
where the type information lives, so that the relocations can
be handled internally.

(To answer the obvious question, we make the gc->type
references relative so that they need not be relocated
individually when generating a shared object file.)

For  better printing, I recently changed Name to return "<unnamed>" for templates
with empty names, but this causes trouble for the many packages that used "" as
the template name, so restore the old behavior.
It's usually printed as a quoted string anyway, so it should be fine.

Otherwise the next goroutine run on the m
can get inadvertently locked if it executes a cgo call
that turns on the internal lock.

While we're here, fix the cgo panic unwind to
decrement m->ncgo like the non-panic unwind does.

Before this CL, running

        cd misc/cgo/test
        go test -c
        readelf --dyn-syms test.test | grep cgoexp

turned up many UNDEF symbols corresponding to symbols actually
in the binary but marked only cgo_export_static. Only symbols
marked cgo_export_dynamic should be listed in this mode.
And if the symbol is going to be listed, it should be listed with its
actual address instead of UNDEF.

The Linux dynamic linker didn't care about the seemingly missing
symbols, but the BSD one did.

This CL eliminates the symbols from the dyn-syms table.

- Introduce MaxAlign constant and use in data layout
and ELF section header.

- Allow up to 16-byte alignment for large objects
(will help Keith's hash changes).

- Emit ELF symbol for .rathole (global /dev/null used by 8c).

- Invoke gcc with -m32/-m64 as appropriate.

- Don't invoke gcc if writing the .o file failed.

Now the default startup is that the program begins at _rt0_386_$GOOS,
which behaves as if calling main(argc, argv). Main jumps to _rt0_386.

This makes the _rt0_386 entry match the expected semantics for
the standard C "main" function, which we can now provide for use when
linking against a standard C library.

Implement what Chrome calls socket "late binding". See:
https://insouciant.org/tech/connection-management-in-chromium/

In a nutshell, if our HTTP client needs a TCP connection to a
remote host and there's not an idle one available, rather than
kick off a dial and wait for that specific dial, we instead
kick off a dial and wait for either our own dial to finish, or
any other TCP connection to that same host to become
available.

The implementation looks like a classic "Learning Go
Concurrency" slide.

Change 231af8ac63aa (CL 7314062) made runtime.enteryscall()
set m->mcache = nil, which means that we can no longer use
syscall.errstr in syscall.Syscall and syscall.Syscall6, since it
requires a new buffer to be allocated for holding the error string.
Instead, we use pre-allocated per-M storage to hold error strings
from syscalls made while in entersyscall mode, and call
runtime.findnull to calculate the lengths.

Fixes #4994.

    Instead of relying on gofmt's diff output (which is a unified
    diff), we manually invoke diff -n and produce an RCS format diff,
    which can easily be parsed in Emacs, with the go--apply-rcs-patch
    function.

    This fixes undocumented issues with the old implementation such as
    skipping over hunks of changes, and it fixes the documented issue
    of not being able to handle file names that include whitespace.

    It can also apply the patch on a buffer that has no file name
    attached at all.

    Last but not least, it greatly simplifies the gofmt function
    itself.

Fixes #4766.
Fixes #4475.

Move pollServer from fd_unix.go to fd_poll_unix.go.
Add pollServerInit(*NetFD) to allow custom initialization.
Add pollServer.Close(*NetFD) to allow custom finalization.
Move setDeadline() to fd_poll_unix.go to allow custom handling of deadlines.
Move newPollServer() to fd_poll_unix.go to allow custom initialization.
No logical code changes.
The next step will be to turn off fd_poll_unix.go for some platform
(I have changes for darwin/linux) and redirect it into runtime. See:
https://golang.org/cl/7569043/diff/2001/src/pkg/net/fd_poll_runtime.go

The deadlock episodically occurs on misc/cgo/test/TestCthread.
The problem is that starttheworld() leaves some P's with local work
without M's. Then all active M's enter into syscalls, but reject to
wake another M's due to the following check (both in entersyscallblock() and in retake()):
if(p->runqhead == p->runqtail &&
        runtime·atomicload(&runtime·sched.nmspinning) +
        runtime·atomicload(&runtime·sched.npidle) > 0)

Still to do: non-linux and non-amd64.
It may work on other ELF-based amd64 systems too, but untested.

"go test -ldflags -hostobj $GOROOT/misc/cgo/test" passes.

Ensure that accept/connect respect deadline,
even if the operation can be executed w/o blocking.
Note this changes external behavior, but it makes
it consistent with read/write.
Factor out deadline check into pollServer.PrepareRead/Write,
in preparation for edge triggered pollServer.
Ensure that pollServer.WaitRead/Write are not called concurrently
by adding rio/wio locks around connect/accept.
