various implementation of collation.  The tool provides commands for soring,
regressing one implementation against another, and benchmarking.
Currently it includes collation implementations for the Go collator, ICU,
and one using Darwin's CoreFoundation framework.
To avoid building this tool in the default build, the colcmp tag has been
added to all files. This allows other tools/colcmp in this directory (e.g. it may make
sense to move maketables here) to be put in this directory as well.

This CL fixes code that incorrectly assumes that int is 32 bits wide.
Specifically, the socketpair system call expects a pointer to a pair
of int32s, not a pair of ints. Fix this inside the wrappers without
changing the APIs.

Change the grammar so that field access is a proper operator.
This introduces a new node, ChainNode, into the public (but
actually internal) API of text/template/parse. For
compatibility, we only use the new node type for the specific
construct, which was not parseable before. Therefore this
should be backward-compatible.

Before, .X.Y was a token in the lexer; this CL breaks it out
into .Y applied to .X. But for compatibility we mush them
back together before delivering. One day we might remove
that hack; it's the simple TODO in parse.go/operand.

This change also provides grammatical distinction between
        f
and
        (f)
which might permit function values later, but not now.

Fixes #3999.

The code was trying to interpret a uint32 n as a signed quantity
and then store it in an int. For this, int(n) currently works, but when
int becomes 64 bits one must write int(int32(n)) instead, to get
the 32-bit sign extension.

After each line, ast.Print would do a zero-length write,
which would hit the boundary condition on Plan 9 when
reading over pipes (since message boundaries are
preserved). This change makes sure we only do positive-
length writes.

Today, if run.go doesn't understand a test header line it just ignores
the test, making it too easy to write or edit tests that are not actually
being run.

- expand errorcheck to accept flags, so that bounds.go and escape*.go can run.
- create a whitelist of skippable tests in run.go; skipping others is an error.
- mark all skipped tests at top of file.

The width was not being set on the address, which meant
that the optimizer could not find variables that overlapped
with it and mark them as having had their address taken.

*** There is an API change here: the introduction of the
LatinOffset int in the RangeTable struct. ***

* Avoid checking Latin range multiple times for non-Latin runes.
* Use linear search when it is faster than binary search.

go test -calibrate runs the calibration for where the linear/binary
crossover should be.

benchmark                       old MB/s     new MB/s  speedup
BenchmarkFields            36.27        41.43    1.14x
BenchmarkFieldsFunc        36.23        41.38    1.14x

The speedup here is evenly split between the linear scans
and the LatinOffset change. Both are about 1.07x.

In a range loop, the presence of a value implies the presence of a key.
However, the presence of a value as an *ast.Ident does not imply that
the key is also an *ast.Ident, thus leading to a panic any time the
two argument form is used where the key is not an identifier.
