The PAX specification says the following:
<<<
'g' represents global extended header records for the following files in the archive.
The format of these extended header records shall be as described in pax Extended Header.
Each value shall affect all subsequent files that do not override that value
in their own extended header record and until another global extended header record
is reached that provides another value for the same field.
>>>

This CL adds support for parsing and composing global PAX records,
but intentionally does not provide support for automatically
persisting the global state across files.

Changes made:
* When Reader encounters a TypeXGlobalRecord header, it parses the
PAX records and returns them to the user ad-verbatim. Reader does not
store them in its state, ensuring it has no effect on future Next calls.
* When Writer receives a TypeXGlobalRecord header, it writes the
PAX records to the archive ad-verbatim. It does not store them in
its state, ensuring it has no effect on future WriteHeader calls.
* The restriction regarding empty record values is lifted since this
value is used to represent deletion in global headers.

Why provide raw support only:
* Some archives in the wild have a global header section (often empty)
and it is the user's responsibility to manually read and discard it's body.
The logic added here allows users to more easily skip over these sections.
* For users that do care about global headers, having access to the raw
records allows them to implement the functionality of global headers themselves
and manually persist the global state across files.
* We can still upgrade to a full implementation in the future.

Why we don't provide full support:
* Even though the PAX specification describes their operation in detail,
both the GNU and BSD tar tools (which are the most common implementations)
do not have a consistent interpretation of many details.
* Global headers were a controversial feature in PAX, by admission of the
specification itself:
  <<<
  The concept of a global extended header (typeflag g) was controversial.

  The typeflag g global headers should not be used with interchange media that
  could suffer partial data loss in transporting the archive.
  >>>
* Having state persist from entry-to-entry complicates the implementation
for a feature that is not widely used and not well supported.

Do not use flag.Uint to handle the error for us because we also want to
error on N==0, and because it would make setting the default to
GOMAXPROCS(0) more difficult, since it's an int.

This CL adds the following new publicly visible API:
	type Header struct { ...; PAXRecords map[string]string }

The new Header.PAXRecords field is a map of all PAX extended header records.

We suggest (but do not enforce) that users use VENDOR-prefixed keys
according to the following in the PAX specification:
<<<
The standard developers have reserved keyword name space for vendor extensions.
It is suggested that the format to be used is:
	VENDOR.keyword
where VENDOR is the name of the vendor or organization in all uppercase letters.
>>>

When reading, the Header.PAXRecords is populated with all PAX records
encountered so far, including basic ones (e.g., "path", "mtime", etc).
When writing, the fields of Header will be merged into PAXRecords,
overwriting any records that may conflict.

Since PAXRecords is a more expressive feature than Xattrs and
is entirely a superset of Xattrs, we mark Xattrs as deprecated,
and steer users towards the new PAXRecords API.

The issue has a discussion about adding a Header.SetPAXRecord method
to help validate records and keep the Header fields in sync.
However, we do not include that in this CL since that helper
method can always be added in the future.

There is no support for global records.

If Less(a, b) returns true when a is less than b, the correct way to
check if a is greater than b is to use Less(b, a). It is wrong to use
!Less(a, b) because that checks if a is greater than *or equal to* b.

1. The decreasingDistance function in Example_sortKeys makes this
   mistake. Fix it.

2. The documentation of multiSorter.Less says it loops along the less
   functions until it finds a comparison "that is either Less or
   !Less". This is nonsense, because (Less(a, b) or !Less(a, b)) is
   always true. Fix the documentation to say that it finds a
   comparison "that discriminates between the two items (one is less
   than the other)". The implementation already does this correctly.

Throughout the spec we use the notion of a constant x being
representable by a value of type T. While intuitively clear,
at least for floating-point and complex constants types, the
concept was not well-defined. In the section on Conversions
there was an extra rule for floating-point types only and it
missed the case of floating-point values overflowing to an
infinity after rounding.

Since the concept is important to Go, and a compiler most
certainly will have a function to test "representability",
it seems warranted to define the term explicitly in the spec.

This change introduces a new entry "Representability" under
the section on "Properties of types and values", and defines
the term explicitly, together with examples.

The phrase used is "representable by" rather than "representable as"
because the former use is prevalent in the spec.

Additionally, it clarifies that a floating-point constant
that overflows to an infinity after rounding is never
representable by a value of a floating-point type, even though
infinities are valid values of IEEE floating point types.
This is required because there are not infinite value constants
in the language (like there is also no -0.0) and representability
also matters for constant conversions. This is not a language
change, and type-checkers have been following this rule before.

The change also introduces links throughout the spec to the new
section as appropriate and removes duplicate text and examples
elsewhere (Constants and Conversions sections), leading to
simplifications in the relevant paragraphs.

Fixes #15389.

Prior to this change, we use typedmemmove to write the key
value to its new location in mapassign_fast32 and mapassign_fast64.
(The use of typedmemmove was a last-minute fix in the 1.9 cycle;
see #21297 and CL 53414.)

This is significantly less inefficient than direct assignment or
calling writebarrierptr directly.

Fortunately, there aren't many cases to consider.

On systems with 32 bit pointers:

* A 32 bit AMEM value either is a single pointer or has no pointers.
* A 64 bit AMEM value may contain a pointer at the beginning,
  a pointer at 32 bits, or two pointers.

On systems with 64 bit pointers:

* A 32 bit AMEM value contains no pointers.
* A 64 bit AMEM value either is a single pointer or has no pointers.

All combinations except the 32 bit pointers / 64 bit AMEM value are
cheap and easy to handle, and the problematic case is likely rare.
The most popular map keys appear to be ints and pointers.

So we handle them exhaustively. The sys.PtrSize checks are constant branches
and are eliminated by the compiler.

An alternative fix would be to return a pointer to the key,
and have the calling code do the assignment, at which point the compiler
would have full type information.

Initial tests suggest that the performance difference between these
strategies is negligible, and this fix is considerably simpler,
and has much less impact on binary size.

CL 36428 changed the way nanotime works so on Darwin and Windows it
now depends on runtime.startNano, which is computed at runtime.init
time. Unfortunately, the `runtimeInitTime = nanotime()` initialization
happened *before* runtime.init, so on these platforms runtimeInitTime
is set incorrectly. The one (and only) consequence of this is that the
start time printed in gctrace lines is bogus:

gc 1 18446653480.186s 0%: 0.092+0.47+0.038 ms clock, 0.37+0.15/0.81/1.8+0.15 ms cpu, 4->4->1 MB, 5 MB goal, 8 P

To fix this, this commit moves the runtimeInitTime initialization to
shortly after runtime.init, at which point nanotime is safe to use.

This also requires changing the condition in newproc1 that currently
uses runtimeInitTime != 0 simply to detect whether or not the main M
has started. Since runtimeInitTime could genuinely be 0 now, this
introduces a separate flag to newproc1.

The enumeration of numeric types missed the complex types.
Clarify by removing the explicit enumeration and referring
to numeric types instead.

No test case because these are purely internal conversions that should

There are some major problems with TestAdversary (based on "A Killer
Adversary for Quicksort"[1] by M. D. McIlroy). See #21581 for details.

Rewrite the test to closely match the version in the paper so it can
be verified as correct by virtue of similarity.

The only major difference between this new version and the version in
the paper is that this version swaps the values directly instead of
permuting an array of indices because we don't need to recover the
original permutation.

This new version also counts the number of calls to Less() and fails
the test if there are too many.

Fixes #21581.

CL 54410 and CL 56250 recently added use of the MOVOstore
instruction to improve performance.

However, we can't use the MOVOstore instruction on Plan 9,
because floating point operations are not allowed in the
note handler.

This change adds a configuration flag useSSE to enable the
use of SSE instructions for non-floating point operations.
This flag is enabled by default and disabled on Plan 9.
When this flag is disabled, the MOVOstore instruction is
not used and the MOVQstoreconst instruction is used instead.

WriteHeader may fail to encode a header for any number of reasons,
which can be frustrating for the user when trying to create a tar archive.
As we validate the Header, we generate an informative error message
intended for human consumption and return that if and only if no
format can be selected.

This allows WriteHeader to return informative errors like:
    tar: cannot encode header: invalid PAX record: "linkpath = \x00hello"
    tar: cannot encode header: invalid PAX record: "SCHILY.xattr.foo=bar = baz"
    tar: cannot encode header: Format specifies GNU; and only PAX supports Xattrs
    tar: cannot encode header: Format specifies GNU; and GNU cannot encode ModTime=1969-12-31 15:59:59.0000005 -0800 PST
    tar: cannot encode header: Format specifies GNU; and GNU supports sparse files only with TypeGNUSparse

For code like the following (where x escapes):

   x := []int{1}

We're currently generating a nil check.  The line above is really 3 operations:

	t := new([1]int)
	t[0] = 1
	x := t[:]

We remove the nil check for t[0] = 1, but not for t[:].

Our current nil check removal rule is too strict about the possible
memory arguments of the nil check. Unlike zeroing or storing to the
result of runtime.newobject, the nilness of runtime.newobject is
always false, even after other stores have happened in the meantime.

In writelines the linker uses various auxiliary information about a
function to create its line table entries. (It also does some unrelated
stuff, but never mind.) There's no reason to do this for non-Go
functions, so it bails out if the symbol has no FuncInfo.

However, it does so *after* it looks up (and implicitly creates!) the
go.info symbol for the function, which doesn't make sense and risks
creating duplicate symbols for static C functions. Move the check up so
that it doesn't do that.

Since non-Go functions can't reference Go types, there shouldn't be any
relocations to type info DIEs that need to be built, so there should be
no harm not doing that.

I wanted to change the Lookup to an ROLookup but that broke the
shared-mode tests with an inscrutable error.

No test. It seems too specific to worry about, but if someone disagrees
I can figure something out.
