The correct semantics of named result parameters and deferred
procedures cannot be implemented with the existing Ret
instruction alone, since the required sequence is:
(1) evaluate return operands and parallel-assign them to
    named result parameters
(2) invoke deferred procedures
(3) load named result parameters to form result tuple.

We introduce a new 'rundefers' instruction that explicitly
invokes the deferred procedure calls, and we generate code
that follows the sequence above.

Most functions do not use deferred procedures but this cannot
be known in a single pass.  So, we add an optimisation to
eliminate redundant 'rundefers'; it is piggybacked on the
existing pass done for "lifting".

Added tests.

This CL changes the encoding used for the Go symbol table,
stored in the binary and used at run time. It does not change
any of the semantics or structure: the bits are just packed
a little differently.

The comment at the top of runtime/symtab.c describes the new format.

Compared to the Go 1.0 format, the main changes are:

* Store symbol addresses as full-pointer-sized host-endian values.
  (For 6g, this means addresses are 64-bit little-endian.)

* Store other values (frame sizes and so on) varint-encoded.

The second change more than compensates for the first:
for the godoc binary on OS X/amd64, the new symbol table
is 8% smaller than the old symbol table (1,425,668 down from 1,546,276).

This is a required step for allowing the host linker (gcc) to write
the final Go binary, since it will have to fill in the symbol address slots
(so the slots must be host-endian) and on 64-bit systems it may
choose addresses above 4 GB.

The original go-mode is plagued with odd behaviour, lack of
behaviour typical to modes in Emacs and bugs.

This change rewrites great parts of go-mode (basically only
keeping the gofmt and godoc functions).

Additionally it adds new features such as manipulating package
imports.

The previous approach desugared the ast.SelectorExpr
to make implicit field selections explicit.  But:
1) it was clunky since it required allocating temporary
   syntax trees.
2) it was not thread-safe since it required poking
   types into the shared type map for the new ASTs.
3) the desugared syntax had no place to represent the
   package lexically enclosing each implicit field
   selection, so it was as if they all occurred in the
   same package as the explicit field selection.
   This meant unexported field names changed meaning.

This CL does what I should have done all along: just
generate the SSA instructions directly from the original
AST and the promoted field information.

Also:
- add logStack util for paired start/end log messages.
  Useful for debugging crashes.

Adjust the exit status string for Plan 9.

Upon allocating >100 file descriptors, Plan 9
raises a warning. Moreover, the Go runtime for

Functions for representing network connections as files
and vice versa, on Plan 9.

Representing network connections as files is not so
straight-forward, because a network connection on Plan 9
is represented by a host of files rather than a single
file descriptor (as is the case on UNIX). We use the
type system to distinguish between listeners and
connections, returning the control file in the former
case and the data file in the latter case.
