Previously if we were only using the low bits of AuxInt,
the high bits were ignored and could be junk.  This CL
changes that behavior to define the high bits to be the
sign-extended version of the low bits for all cases.

There are 2 main benefits:
- Deterministic representation.  This helps with CSE.
  (Const8 [0x1]) and (Const8 [0x101]) used to be the same "value"
  but CSE couldn't see them as such.
- Testability.  We can check that all ops leave AuxInt in a state
  consistent with the new rule.  In the old scheme, it was hard
  to check whether a rule correctly used only the low-order bits.
Side benefits:
- ==0 and !=0 tests are easier.

Drawbacks:
- This differs from the runtime representation in registers,
  where it is important that we allow upper bits to be undefined
  (so we're not sign/zero-extending all the time).
- Ops that treat AuxInt as unsigned (shifts, mostly) need to be
  a bit more careful.

Flip around the composition order of the http.Response.Body's
gzip.Reader vs. the reader which keeps track of waiting to see the end
of the HTTP/1 response framing (whether that's a Content-Length or
HTTP/1.1 chunking).

Previously:

user -> http.Response.Body
     -> bodyEOFSignal
     -> gzipReader
     -> gzip.Reader
     -> bufio.Reader
   [ -> http/1.1 de-chunking reader ]   optional
     -> http1 framing *body

But because bodyEOFSignal was waiting to see an EOF from the
underlying gzip.Reader before reusing the connection, and gzip.Reader
(or more specifically: the flate.Reader) wasn't returning an early
io.EOF with the final chunk, the bodyEOfSignal was never releasing the
connection, because the EOF from the http1 framing was read by a party
who didn't care about it yet: the helper bufio.Reader created to do
byte-at-a-time reading in the flate.Reader.

Flip the read composition around to:

user -> http.Response.Body
     -> gzipReader
     -> gzip.Reader
     -> bufio.Reader
     -> bodyEOFSignal
   [ -> http/1.1 de-chunking reader ]   optional
     -> http1 framing *body

Now when gzip.Reader does its byte-at-a-time reading via the
bufio.Reader, the bufio.Reader will do its big reads against the
bodyEOFSignal reader instead, which will then see the underlying http1
framing EOF, and be able to reuse the connection.

These are the first of several convenience
constructors for types.

They are part of type field encapsulation.
This removes most external writes to TARRAY Type and Bound fields.

substAny still directly fiddles with the .Type field.
substAny generally needs access to Type internals.
It will be moved to type.go in a future CL.

bimport still directly writes the .Type field.
This is hard to change.

Also of note:

* inl.go contains an (apparently irrelevant) bug fix:
  as.Right was given the wrong type.
  vararrtype was previously unused.
* I believe that aindex (subr.go) never creates slices,
  but it is safer to keep existing behavior.
  The removal of -1 as a constant there is part
  of hiding that implementation detail.
  Future CLs will finish that job.

Passes toolstash -cmp.

Add a "HuffmanOnly" compression level, where the input is
only entropy encoded.

The output is fully inflate compatible. Typical compression
is reduction is about 50% of typical level 1 compression, however
the compression time is very stable, and does not vary as much as
nearly as much level 1 compression (or Snappy).

This mode is useful for:
 * HTTP compression in a CPU limited environment.
 * Entropy encoding Snappy compressed data, for archiving, etc.
 * Compression where compression time needs to be predictable.
 * Fast network transfer.

Snappy "usually" performs inbetween this and level 1 compression-wise,
but at the same speed as "Huffman", so this is not a replacement,
but a good supplement for Snappy, since it usually can compress
Snappy output further.

This is implemented as level -2, since this would be too much of a
compression reduction to replace level 1.

The previous rules to combine indexed loads produced addresses like:

    From: obj.Addr{
        Type:   TYPE_MEM,
        Reg:    REG_CX,
        Name:   NAME_AUTO,
        Offset: 121,
        ...
    }

which are erroneous because NAME_AUTO implies a base register of
REG_SP, and cmd/internal/obj/x86 makes many assumptions to this
effect.  Note that previously we were also producing an extra "ADDQ
SP, CX" instruction, so indexing off of SP was already handled.

The approach taken by this CL to address the problem is to instead
produce addresses like:

    From: obj.Addr{
        Type:   TYPE_MEM,
        Reg:    REG_SP,
        Name:   NAME_AUTO,
        Offset: 121,
        Index:  REG_CX,
        Scale:  1,
    }

and to omit the "ADDQ SP, CX" instruction.

Downside to this approach is it requires adding a lot of new
MOV[WLQ]loadidx1 instructions that nearly duplicate functionality of
the existing MOV[WLQ]loadidx[248] instructions, but with a different
Scale.

This change adds a compiler optimization for pointer shaped convT2I.
Since itab symbols are now emitted by the compiler, the itab address can
be directly moved into the iface structure.

This change tells the linker to collect all the itablink symbols and
collect them so that moduledata can have a slice of all compiler
generated itabs.

The logic is shamelessly adapted from what is done with typelink symbols.

In syscall.forkAndExecInChild, blocks of code labelled Pass 1
and Pass 2 permute the file descriptors (if necessary) which are
passed to the child process.  If Pass 1 begins with fds = {0,2,1},
nextfd = 4 and pipe = 4, then the statement labelled "don't stomp
on pipe" is too late -- the pipe (which will be needed to pass
exec status back to the parent) will have been closed by the
preceding DUP call.

Moving the "don't stomp" test earlier ensures that the pipe is
protected.

This mostly a mechanical change.
However, the change in assignop (subr.go) is a bug fix.
The code didn’t match the comment,
and the comment was correct.
Nevertheless, this CL passes toolstash -cmp.

The last direct reference to dddBound outside
type.go (in typecheck.go) will go away
in a future CL.

Packed encoding is the default on the proto3 format. Profiles generated
in the profile.proto format by third parties cannot be decoded by the
Go pprof tool, since its proto decoder does not recognize packed
encoding for repeated fields.

In particular this issue prevents go tool pprof from reading profiles
generated by the version of pprof in github.com/google/pprof

Profiles generated by go tool pprof after this change will use packed
repeating fields, so older versions of pprof will not be able to read
them. pprof will continue to be able to read profiles generated before
this change.

When building make.bash, calling Nodes.Set(s) where len(s) == 0 occurs
4738678 times vs 1465415 calls where len(s) > 0; i.e., it is over 3x
more common to set Nodes.slice to nil rather than to s.

Make a copy of slice (header) and take address of that copy instead
to avoid allocating the argument slice on the heap always even when
not needed.

Saves 4738678 slice header allocations and slice header value copies.

s390x doesn't introduce any new assembly syntax. There are a few
instructions which require the operands to be reordered, notably
the storage-storage instructions that put the length into From3 so
that the memory operands can be put into From and To.

The assembly test currently covers a subset of instructions but
tries to hit edge cases as much as possible. Unlike the other ports
it can be linked as an executable to make disassembling it easy.
It would be nice to autogenerate it at some point in the future.
