Individual variables bigger than 10 MB are now
moved to the heap, as if they had escaped on
their own.

This avoids ridiculous stacks for programs that
do things like
        x := [1<<30]byte{}
        ... use x ...

If 10 MB is too small, we can raise the limit.

In prep for Robert's forthcoming cmd/api rewrite which
depends on the go.tools subrepo, we'll need to be more
careful about how and when we run cmd/api.

Rather than implement this policy in both run.bash and
run.bat, this change moves the policy and mechanism into
cmd/api/run.go, which will then evolve.

The plan is in a TODO in run.go.

Previously, all word aligned locations in the local variables
area were scanned as conservative roots.  With this change, a
bitmap is generated describing the locations of pointer values
in local variables.

With this change the argument bitmap information has been
changed to only store information about arguments.  The locals
member, has been removed.  In its place, the bitmap data for
local variables is now used to store the size of locals.  If
the size is negative, the magnitude indicates the size of the
local variables area.

HTTP/1.0 connections are closed implicitly, unless otherwise specified.

Note that this change does not test or fix "request too large" responses.
Reasoning: (a) it complicates tests and fixes, (b) they should be rare,
and (c) this is just a minor wire optimization, and thus not really worth worrying
about in this context.

Fixes #5955.

A response to a HEAD request is supposed to look the same as a
response to a GET request, just without a body.

HEAD requests are incredibly rare in the wild.

The Go net/http package has so far treated HEAD requests
specially: a Write on our default ResponseWriter returned
ErrBodyNotAllowed, telling handlers that something was wrong.
This was to optimize the fast path for HEAD requests, but:

1) because HEAD requests are incredibly rare, they're not
   worth having a fast path for.

2) Letting the http.Handler handle but do nop Writes is still
   very fast.

3) this forces ugly error handling into the application.
   e.g. https://code.google.com/p/go/source/detail?r=6f596be7a31e
   and related.

4) The net/http package nowadays does Content-Type sniffing,
   but you don't get that for HEAD.

5) The net/http package nowadays does Content-Length counting
   for small (few KB) responses, but not for HEAD.

6) ErrBodyNotAllowed was useless. By the time you received it,
   you had probably already done all your heavy computation
   and I/O to calculate what to write.

So, this change makes HEAD requests like GET requests.

We now count content-length and sniff content-type for HEAD
requests. If you Write, it doesn't return an error.

If you want a fast-path in your code for HEAD, you have to do
it early and set all the response headers yourself. Just like
before. If you choose not to Write in HEAD requests, be sure
to set Content-Length if you know it. We won't write
"Content-Length: 0" because you might've just chosen to not
write (or you don't know your Content-Length in advance).

I broke it with the darwin getwd attrlist stuff (0583e9d36dd).
plan9 doesn't have syscall.ENOTSUP.

It's in api/go1.txt as a symbol always available (not context-specific):

pkg syscall, const ENOTSUP Errno

... but plan9 isn't considered by cmd/api, so it only looks
universally available.  Alternatively, we could add a fake ENOTSUP
to plan9, but they were making efforts earlier to clean their
syscall package, so I'd prefer not to dump more in it.
