While we're at it, clean up and test the code to guarantee we see every byte when
the text is erroneous UTF-8.

Fix a bug that caused it to ignore field widths.

This shortens, simplifies and regularizes the code significantly.
(Improvements to reflect could make another step.)
Passes all.bash.

One semantic change occurs: The String() method changes
behavior. It used to run only for string formats such as %s and %q.
Instead, it now runs whenever the item has the method and the
result is then processed by the format as a string. Besides the
regularization, this has three effects:

	1) width is honored for String() items
	2) %x works for String() items
	3) implementations of String that merely recur will recur forever

Regarding point 3, example from the updated documentation:
	type X int
	func (x X) String() string { return Sprintf("%d", x) }
should cast the value before recurring:
	func (x X) String() string { return Sprintf("%d", int(x)) }

Change TrimRight and TrimLeft to use these functions.
Incidentally fix minor bug in TrimRight.
Add some test cases for this.
YMMV whether it's worth saving the closure allocation.

Cannot assume that g == m->curg at time of signal.
Must save actual g and restore.

Fixes flaky crashes with messages like

throw: malloc mlookup
throw: malloc/free - deadlock
throw: unwindstack on self
throw: free mlookup

(and probably others) when running cgo.

There's only one Go object file per package now,
so there's no need to parse the metadata and merge
metadata from multiple files.  Just save the original
and use it as __.PKGDEF verbatim.

This avoids a crash when using cgo where glibc's malloc thinks
that it can use some of the memory following the symbol table.
This fails because the symbol table is mapped read-only, which
affects the whole page.
