The decision for when to say "hash/crc32".New instead of
crc32.New in an error was double-counting imports
from different packages or indirect imports, so it was
quoting even when there was no ambiguity.

The gosymtab and gopclntab sections were pointing to the proper
data, but that data was already owned by the rodata section.
Some ELF references explicitly prohibit multiple sections from
owning the same data, and strip behaves accordingly.

The data for these sections was moved to after rodata, and the
gosymtab and gopclntab sections now own their respective ranges.

This change makes strip happy both with and without -s being
provided at link time.  Note that it won't remove these sections
because they are still allocated, and that's by design since
they are necessary at runtime for generating proper backtraces
and similar introspection operations.

Unlike the previous behavior, -s will now maintain zero-sized
gosymtab and gopclntab sections.  This makes the implementation
slightly cleaner.

Fixes #1242.

1. The implementation uses distributed hash table of waitlists instead of a centralized one.
  It significantly improves scalability for uncontended semaphores.
2. The implementation provides wait-free fast-path for signalers.
3. The implementation uses less locks (1 lock/unlock instead of 5 for Semacquire).
4. runtime·ready() call is moved out of critical section.
5. Semacquire() does not call semwake().

For both contended and uncontended case:
 - support arbitrary number of cpus (not just 2)
 - dynamic load balancing (improves stability)
 - periodic execution of Gosched() to work around non-preemptiviness
For uncontended case eliminates possible false-sharing.
For contended case includes additional variation with some

#pragma varargck countpos f 1
says that the first argument to f is
the count of variadic arguments that follow.

#pragma varargck type f t
says that t is one of the allowed types for
a variadic argument to f.
(can be repeated)

combined, these can be used to check the
runtime.stdcall functions in the windows port
or in any other port that needs a vararg list of
uintptrs even on a 64-bit platform (where it is
very easy to pass a less-than-uintptr in the ...).

demo:

typedef unsigned int uintptr;

#pragma varargck countpos f 1
#pragma varargck type f uintptr
#pragma varargck type f void*

int f(int count, ...);

void *v;
char *p;

main(void)

        f(1, main);  // ok

        f(2, v);  // found 1 argument after count 2

I have written up a Marshal and MarshalIndent pair that should
closely reflect the way that Unmarshal works.  I would love feedback
on making this code more accessible and efficient... I haven't used
reflecton on this scale before, so there is probably a lot of work
that can be done on that.

Some potentially controversial things:
- All tag names are lower-cased by default.
- Zero-valued struct values are skipped.
- No namespace prefix (o:tag, etc) mechanism is supplied.
- You are allowed to marshal non-struct values (even though unmarshal
  cannot handle them).
- A tag for a non-XMLName struct field that isn't "attr", "chardata",
  or "innerxml" is used as the name of the tag.  This could wreak
  havoc if you try to marshal a protobuf struct.
- The "innerxml" and "chardata" are inserted verbatim.  If you try to
  marshal something straight from unmarshal, the results could be
  unexpected (remove "innerxml" support from Marshal would be one
  possible solution).
