Because the SB is only good for 8k and Go programs
tend to have much more data than that, SB doesn't
save very much.  A fmt.Printf-based hello world program
has  360 kB text segment.  Removing SB makes the text
500 bytes (0.14%) longer.

Also change the span-dependent jump algorithm
to use fewer iterations:

* resolve forward jumps at their targets (comefrom list)
* mark jumps as small or big and only do small->big
* record whether a jump failed to be encodable

These changes mean that a function with only small
jumps can be laid out in a single iteration, and the
vast majority of functions take just two iterations.
I was seeing a maximum of 5 iterations before; the
max now is 3 and there are fewer that get even that far.

The old code said

	if(x) {
		handle a
		return
	}
	aa = *a
	rewrite aa to make x true
	recursivecall(&aa)

The new code says

	params = copy out of a
	if(!x) {
		rewrite params to make x true
	}
	handle params

but it's hard to see that in the Rietveld diffs because
it gets confused by changes in indentation.

Avoiding the recursion makes other changes easier.

Using explicit relocations internally, we can
represent the data for a particular symbol as
an initialized block of memory instead of a
linked list of ADATA instructions.  The real
goal here is to be able to hand off some of the
relocations to the dynamic linker when interacting
with system libraries, but a pleasant side effect is
that the memory image is much more compact
than the ADATA list, so the linkers use less memory.

After a fill(), there is nothing to back up.  Make sure UnreadRune
recognizes the situation.

Fixes #1137.
(Stops the crash, but doesn't make UnreadRune usable after a Peek()).

The Plan 9 tools assume that long is 32 bits.
We converted all instances of long to int32 when
importing the code but missed the print formats.
Because int32 is always int on the compilers we use,
it is never correct to use %lux, %ld, etc.  Convert to %ux, %d, etc.

(It matters because on 64-bit gcc, long is 64 bits,
so we were printing 32-bit quantities with 64-bit formats.)

* Maintain Sym* list for text with individual
  prog lists instead of using one huge list and
  overloading p->pcond.
* Comment what each file is for.
* Move some output code from span.c to asm.c.
* Move profiling into prof.c, symbol table into symtab.c.
* Move mkfwd to ld/lib.c.
* Throw away dhog dynamic loading code.
* Throw away Alef become.
* Fix printing of WORD instructions in 5l -a.

Goal here is to be able to handle each piece of text or data
as a separate piece, both to make it easier to load the
occasional .o file and also to make it possible to split the
work across multiple threads.

This is entirely adding and removing tabs.
It looks weird but will make the diffs for the

6l was skipping emitting the (2 byte) symbol table if there were no imported or exported
symbols. You can't just drop the symbol table entirely - the linker dies if you have
a linkedit section but no table. You can omit the linkedit section or both the linkedit
and the dlyd parts in the right circumstances, but that seems much more risky to me.
