This change makes the way cc constructs pointer maps closer to
what gc does and is being done in preparation for changes to
the internal content of the pointer map such as a change to
distinguish interface pointers from ordinary pointers.

The mutex, fdMutex, handles locking and lifetime of sysfd,
and serializes Read and Write methods.
This allows to strip 2 sync.Mutex.Lock calls,
2 sync.Mutex.Unlock calls, 1 defer and some amount
of misc overhead from every network operation.

On linux/amd64, Intel E5-2690:
benchmark                             old ns/op    new ns/op    delta
BenchmarkTCP4Persistent                    9595         9454   -1.47%

BenchmarkTCP4ConcurrentReadWrite-2         2603         2500   -3.96%

In general it strips 70-500 ns from every network operation depending
on processor model. On my relatively new E5-2690 it accounts to ~5%
of network op cost.

Fixes #6074.

The old code was caching per-type struct field info. Instead,
cache type-specific encoding funcs, tailored for that
particular type to avoid unnecessary reflection at runtime.
Once the machine is built once, future encodings of that type
just run the func.

Original CL by rsc (11916045):

The motivation for disallowing them was RFC 4180 saying
"The last field in the record must not be followed by a comma."
I believe this is an admonition to CSV generators, not readers.
When reading, anything followed by a comma is not the last field.

Pseudo-instructions MOVBS and MOVHS are used to clarify
the semantics of short integers vs. registers:
 * 8-bit and 16-bit values in registers are assumed to always
   be zero-extended or sign-extended depending on their type.
 * MOVB is truncation or move of an already extended value
   between registers.
 * MOVBU enforces zero-extension at the destination (register).
 * MOVBS enforces sign-extension at the destination (register).
And similarly for MOVH/MOVS/MOVHU.

The linker is adapted to assemble MOVB and MOVH to an ordinary
mov. Also a peephole pass in 5g that aims at eliminating
redundant zero/sign extensions is improved.

Unlike the existing net package own pollster, runtime-integrated
network pollster on BSD variants, actually kqueue, requires a socket
that has beed passed to syscall.Listen previously for a stream
listener.

This CL separates pollDesc.Init of Unix network pollster from newFD
to avoid any breakages in the transition from Unix network pollster
to runtime-integrated pollster. Upcoming CLs will rearrange the call
order of pollster and syscall functions like the following;

- For dialers that open active connections, pollDesc.Init will be
  called in between syscall.Bind and syscall.Connect.

- For stream listeners that open passive stream connections,
  pollDesc.Init will be called just after syscall.Listen.

- For datagram listeners that open datagram connections,
  pollDesc.Init will be called just after syscall.Bind.

This is in preparation for runtime-integrated network pollster for BSD
variants.
