We wrap the final '...' argument's type in types.Slice.
Added tests.

Also:
- Function.writeSignature: suppress slice '[]' when printing
  variadic arg '...'.
- Eliminate Package.ImportPath field; redundant
  w.r.t. Package.Types.Path.
- Use "TODO: (opt|fix)" notation more widely.
- Eliminate many redundant/stale TODOs.

The new src argument is ignored during linking
(that is, CALL r1, r2 is identical to CALL r2 for linking),
but it serves as a hint to the 5g/6g/8g optimizer
that the src register is live on entry to the called
function and must be preserved.

It is possible to avoid exposing this fact to the rest of
the toolchain, keeping it entirely within 5g/6g/8g,
but I think it will help to be able to look in object files
and assembly listings and linker -a / -W output to
see CALL instructions are "Go func value" calls and
which are "C function pointer" calls.

By appending to the wrong (always empty) list, only the last
anonymous field was being considered for promotion.

Also:
- eliminated "function-local NamedTypes" TODO; nothing to do.
- fixed Function.DumpTo: printing of anon receivers was "( T)",
  now "(T)"; extracted writeSignature into own function.
- eliminated blockNames function;
  thanks to BasicBlock.String, "%s" of []*BasicBlock is fine.
- extracted buildReferrers into own function.

Revision 5e7fd762f356 has changed the output formatting in a way that
is no longer in line with the format described by the revision
ff0ade0b937b which has introduced this functionality.
When decorating the first line, instead of indenting the whole line,
the current implementation adds indentation right after the "decorate"
part and  before the "log" message.
The fix addresses this issue.

Previously, the func structure contained an inaccurate value for
the args member and a 0 value for the locals member.

This change populates the func structure with args and locals
values computed by the compiler.  The number of args was
already available in the ATEXT instruction.  The number of
locals is now passed through in the new ALOCALS instruction.

This change also switches the unit of args and locals to be
bytes, just like the frame member, instead of 32-bit words.

The interpreter's os.Exit now triggers a special panic rather
than kill the test process.  (It's semantically dubious, since
it will run deferred routines.)  Interpret now returns its
exit code rather than calling os.Exit.

Also:
- disabled parts of a few $GOROOT/tests via os.Getenv("GOSSAINTERP").
- remove unnecessary 'slots' param to external functions; they
  are never closures.

Most of the tests are disabled until go/types supports shifts.
They can be reenabled if you patch this workaround:

Overview: Function.finish() now invokes the "lifting" pass which replaces local allocs and loads and stores to such cells by SSA registers.  We use very standard machinery:

(1) we build the dominator tree for the function's control flow graph (CFG) using the "Simple" Lengauer-Tarjan algorithm.  (Very "simple" in fact: even simple path compression is not yet implemented.)

In sanity-checking mode, we cross check the dominator tree against an alternative implementation using a simple iterative dataflow algorithm.
This all lives in dom.go, along with some diagnostic printing routines.

(2) we build the dominance frontier for the entire CFG using the Cytron et al algorithm.  The DF is represented as a slice of slices, keyed by block index.  See buildDomFrontier() in lift.go.

(3) we determine for each Alloc whether it can be lifted: is it only subject to loads and stores?  If so, we traverse the iterated dominance frontier (IDF) creating φ-nodes; they are not prepended to the blocks yet.
See liftAlloc() in lift.go.

(4) we perform the SSA renaming algorithm from Cytron et al, replacing all loads to lifted Alloc cells by the value stored by the dominating store operation, and deleting the stores and allocs.  See rename() in lift.go.

(5) we eliminate unneeded φ-nodes, then concatenate the remaining ones with the non-deleted instructions of the block into a new slice.  We eliminate any lifted allocs from Function.Locals.

To ease reviewing, I have avoided almost all optimisations at this point, though there are many opportunities to explore.  These will be easier to understand as follow-up changes.

All the existing tests (pending CL 7313062) pass.  (Faster!)

Details:

"NaiveForm" BuilderMode flag suppresses all the new logic.
Exposed as 'ssadump -build=N'.

BasicBlock:
- add .Index field (b.Func[b.Index]==b), simplifying
  algorithms such as Kildall-style dataflow with bitvectors.
- rename the Name field to Comment to better reflect its
  reduced purpose.  It now has a String() method.
- 'dom' field holds dominator tree node; private for now.
- new predIndex method.
- hasPhi is now a method

dom.go:
- domTree: a new struct for a node in a dominator tree.
- buildDomTree builds the dominator tree using the simple
  variant Lengauer/Tarjan algorithm with Georgiadis'
  bucket optimizations.
- sanityCheckDomTree builds dominance relation using
  Kildall-style dataflow and ensures the same result is
  obtained.
- printDomTreeDot prints the CFG/DomTree in GraphViz format.

blockopt.go:
- perform a mark/sweep pass to eliminate unreachable
  cycles; the previous prune() opt would only eliminate
  trivially dead blocks.  (Needed for LT algo.)
- using .Index, fuseblocks can now delete fused blocks directly.
- delete prune().

sanity.go: more consistency checks:
- Phi with missing edge value
- local Alloc instructions must appear in Function.Locals.
- BasicBlock.Index, Func consistency
- CFG edges are all intraprocedural.
- detect nils in BasicBlock.Instrs.
- detect Function.Locals with Heap flag set.
- check fn.Blocks is nil if empty.

Also:
- Phi now has Comment field for debugging.
- Fixed bug in Select.Operands()
  (took address of temporary copy of field)
- new Literal constructor zeroLiteral().
- algorithms steal private fields Alloc.index,
  BasicBlock.gaps to avoid allocating maps.
- We print Function.Locals in DumpTo.
- added profiling support to ssadump.
