Also fix a bunch of bugs:
1. Accesses to last_gc must be atomic (it's int64).
2. last_gc still can be 0 during first checks in sysmon, check for 0.
3. forcegc.g can be unitialized when sysmon accesses it:
        forcegc.g is initialized by main goroutine (forcegc.g = newproc1(...)),
        and main goroutine is unsynchronized with both sysmon and forcegc goroutine.
        Initialize forcegc.g in the forcegc goroutine itself instead.

In revision 05c3fee13eb3, openbsd/386's tfork implementation was
accidentally changed in one instruction from using the "params"
parameter to using the "psize" parameter.

While here, OpenBSD's __tfork system call returns a pid_t which is an
int32 on all OpenBSD architectures, so change runtime.tfork's return
type from int64 to int32 and update the assembly implementations
accordingly.

PositionFor permits access to both, positions
adjusted by //line comments (like the Position

unaffected by //line comments.

Raw positions are required for correct formatting

'range hash' makes a copy of the hash array in the stack, creating
a very large stack frame. It's just the right amount that it
uses most but not all of the total stack size. If you have a lot
of environment variables, like the builders, then this is too
much and the g0 stack runs out of space.

This adds the minimal support for AArch64/arm64 relocations
needed to get cgo to work (when an isomorphic patch is applied
to gccgo) and a test.

This change uses the "AAarch64" name for the architecture rather
than the more widely accepted "arm64" because that's the name that
the relevant docs from ARM such as

NaCl requires the addition of a 32-byte "halt sled" at the end
of the text segment. This means that segtext.len is actually
32 bytes shorter than reality. The computation of the file offset
of the end of the data segment did not take this 32 bytes into
account, so if len and len+32 rounded up (by 64k) to different
values, the symbol table overwrote the last page of the data
segment.

The last page of the data segment is usually the C .string
symbols, which contain the strings used in error prints
by the runtime. So when this happens, your program
probably crashes, and then when it does, you get binary
garbage instead of all the usual prints.

The chance of hitting this with a randomly sized text segment
is 32 in 65536, or 1 in 2048.

If you add or remove ANY code while trying to debug this
problem, you're overwhelmingly likely to bump the text
segment one way or the other and make the bug disappear.

Correct all the computations to use segdata.fileoff+segdata.filelen
instead of trying to rederive segdata.fileoff.

This fixes the failure during the nacl/amd64p32 build.

The NaCl "system calls" were assumed to have a compatible
return convention with the C compiler, and we were using
tail jumps to those functions. Don't do that anymore.

Correct mistake introduced in newstackcall duringconversion
from (SP) to (FP) notation. (Actually this fix, in asm_amd64p32.s,
slipped into the C compiler change, but update the name to
match what go vet wants.)

Correct computation of caller stack pointer in morestack:
on amd64p32, the saved PC is the size of a uintreg, not uintptr.
This may not matter, since it's been like this for a while,
but uintreg is the correct one. (And on non-NaCl they are the same.)

This will allow the NaCl build to get much farther.
It will probably still not work completely.
There's a bug in 6l that needs fixing too.

uintptr or uint64 in the runtime C were turning into uint in the Go,
