Revision 3ae4607a43ff introduced CONVNOP layers
to fix type checking issues arising from comparisons.
The added complexity made 8g run out of registers
when compiling an equality function in go.net/ipv6.

A similar issue occurred in test/sizeof.go on
amd64p32 with 6g.

Fixes #7405.

Rationale:
        It already is for scanning.
        It is accepted for complexes already, but doesn't work.
        It's analogous to %G and %E.
        C accepts it too, and we try to be roughly compatible.

These test cases are redundant because TestSimpleFold tests
all possible rotations of test data, so no need to add
rotated strings.

Also updated the comment as it's guaranteed that SimpleFold

If runtime_BeforeFork splits stack, it will unsplit it
with spoiled g->stackguard. It leads to check failure in oldstack:

The original test would open a local port and then immediately close it
and use the port number in subsequent tests. Between the port being closed
and reused by the later process, it could be opened by some other program
on the machine.

Changed the test to run the server process directly and have it save the
assigned port to a text file to be used by client processes.

Fixes #5564.

Request ID reuse is allowed by the FastCGI spec [1]. In particular nginx uses
the same request ID, 1, for all requests on a given connection. Because
serveRequest does not remove the request from conn.requests, this causes it to
treat the second request as a duplicate and drops the connection immediately
after beginRequest. This manifests with nginx option 'fastcgi_keep_conn on' as
the following message in nginx error log:

2014/03/17 01:39:13 [error] 730#0: *109 recv() failed (104: Connection reset by peer) while reading response header from upstream, client: x.x.x.x, server: example.org, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9001", host: "example.org"

Because handleRecord and serveRequest run in different goroutines, access to
conn.requests must now be synchronized.
