The current Windows build failure happens because by
default runtime frames are excluded from stack traces.
Apparently the Windows breakpoint path dies with an
ordinary panic, while the Unix path dies with a throw.
Breakpoint is a strange function and I don't mind that it's
a little different on the two operating systems.

The panic squelches runtime frames but the throw shows them,
because throw is considered something that shouldn't have
happened at all, so as much detail as possible is wanted.

The runtime exclusion is meant to prevents printing too much noise
about internal runtime details. But exported functions are
not internal details, so show exported functions.
If the program dies because you called runtime.Breakpoint,
it's okay to see that frame.
This makes the Breakpoint test show Breakpoint in the
stack trace no matter how it is handled.

Should fix Windows build.
Tested on Unix by changing Breakpoint to fault instead
of doing a breakpoint.

This fixes a couple of problems that occur when the linker
removes its temporary directory on Windows.  The linker only
creates and removes a temporary directory when doing external
linking.  Windows does not yet support external linking.
Therefore, these problems are only seen when using a
cross-compiler hosted on Windows.

In lib9, FindFirstFileW returns just the file name, not the
full path name.  Don't assume that we will find a slash.
Changed the code to work either way just in case.

In ld, Windows requires that files be closed before they are
removed, so close the output file before we might try to
remove it.

Fixes #8723.

In Go 1.3 the runtime called panicstring to report errors like
divide by zero or memory faults. Now we call panic (gopanic)
with pre-allocated error values. That new path is missing the
checking that panicstring did, so add it there.

The only call to panicstring left is in cnew, which is problematic
because if it fails, probably the heap is corrupt. In that case,
calling panicstring creates a new errorCString (no allocation there),
but then panic tries to print it, invoking errorCString.Error, which
does a string concatenation (allocating), which then dies.
Replace that one panicstring with a throw: cnew is for allocating
runtime data structures and should never ask for an inappropriate
amount of memory.

With panicstring gone, delete newErrorCString, errorCString.
While we're here, delete newErrorString, not called by anyone.
(It can't be: that would be C code calling Go code that might
block or grow the stack.)

Found while debugging a malloc corruption.
This resulted in 'panic during panic' instead of a more useful message.

semacquire might need to park the currently running G.  It can
only park if called from the G stack (because it has no way of
saving the M stack state).  So all calls to semacquire must come
from the G stack.

The three violators are GOMAXPROCS, ReadMemStats, and WriteHeapDump.
This change moves the semacquire call earlier, out of their C code
and into their Go code.

This seldom caused bugs because semacquire seldom actually had
to park the caller.  But it did happen intermittently.
