If the ... element type contained no pointers,
then the escape analysis did not track the ... itself.
This manifested in an escaping ...byte being treated

The register allocator decides which variables should be placed into registers by charging for each load/store and crediting for each use, and then selecting an allocation with minimal cost. NOPs will be eliminated, however, so using a variable in a NOP should not generate credit.

Issue 7867 arises from attempted registerization of multi-word variables because they are used in NOPs. By not crediting for that use, they will no longer be considered for registerization.

This fix could theoretically lead to better register allocation, but NOPs are rare relative to other instructions.

Fixes #7867.

TestDialFailPDLeak was created for testing runtime-integrated netwrok
poller stuff and used during Go 1.2 development cycle. Unfortunately
it's still flakey because it depends on MemStats of runtime, not
pollcache directly, and MemStats accounts and revises its own stats
occasionally.

For now the codepaths related to runtime-intergrated network poller
are pretty stable, so removing this test case never suffers us.

The monotonic clock patch changed all runtime times
to abstract monotonic time. As the result user-visible
MemStats.LastGC become monotonic time as well.
Restore Unix time for LastGC.

This is the simplest way to expose time.now to runtime that I found.
Another option would be to change time.now to C called
int64 runtime.unixnanotime() and then express time.now in terms of it.
But this would require to introduce 2 64-bit divisions into time.now.
Another option would be to change time.now to C called
void runtime.unixnanotime1(struct {int64 sec, int32 nsec} *now)
and then express both time.now and runtime.unixnanotime in terms of it.
