The SSA compiler currently generates MOVOstore instructions
to optimize 16 bytes moves on AMD64 architecture.

However, we can't use the MOVOstore instruction on Plan 9,
because floating point operations are not allowed in the
note handler.

We rely on the useSSE flag to disable the use of the
MOVOstore instruction on Plan 9 and replace it by two
MOVQstore instructions.

Like the indexed MOVW (MOVWloadidx/MOVWstoreidx) used in current
ARM backend, the indexed MOVB/MOVBU/MOVH/MOVHU can also be used to
generate further optimized ARM code.

My patch implements this optimization. Here are some contrast test
results against the original go compiler.

1. The total size of all .a files in pkg/ shrinks by 0.03%.

2. The compilecmp benchmark shows a little decline.

The PAX specification says the following:
<<<
'g' represents global extended header records for the following files in the archive.
The format of these extended header records shall be as described in pax Extended Header.
Each value shall affect all subsequent files that do not override that value
in their own extended header record and until another global extended header record
is reached that provides another value for the same field.
>>>

This CL adds support for parsing and composing global PAX records,
but intentionally does not provide support for automatically
persisting the global state across files.

Changes made:
* When Reader encounters a TypeXGlobalRecord header, it parses the
PAX records and returns them to the user ad-verbatim. Reader does not
store them in its state, ensuring it has no effect on future Next calls.
* When Writer receives a TypeXGlobalRecord header, it writes the
PAX records to the archive ad-verbatim. It does not store them in
its state, ensuring it has no effect on future WriteHeader calls.
* The restriction regarding empty record values is lifted since this
value is used to represent deletion in global headers.

Why provide raw support only:
* Some archives in the wild have a global header section (often empty)
and it is the user's responsibility to manually read and discard it's body.
The logic added here allows users to more easily skip over these sections.
* For users that do care about global headers, having access to the raw
records allows them to implement the functionality of global headers themselves
and manually persist the global state across files.
* We can still upgrade to a full implementation in the future.

Why we don't provide full support:
* Even though the PAX specification describes their operation in detail,
both the GNU and BSD tar tools (which are the most common implementations)
do not have a consistent interpretation of many details.
* Global headers were a controversial feature in PAX, by admission of the
specification itself:
  <<<
  The concept of a global extended header (typeflag g) was controversial.

  The typeflag g global headers should not be used with interchange media that
  could suffer partial data loss in transporting the archive.
  >>>
* Having state persist from entry-to-entry complicates the implementation
for a feature that is not widely used and not well supported.

Otherwise, if there are any parallel tests, it will hang and panic with
"all goroutines are asleep - deadlock!".

Do not use flag.Uint to handle the error for us because we also want to
error on N==0, and because it would make setting the default to
GOMAXPROCS(0) more difficult, since it's an int.

Check for it right after flag.Parse, and mimic flag errors by printing
the usage and returning exit code 2.

This addresses the case of a -timeout panic, but not the more
general case of a signal arriving. See CL 48370 and CL 44352
for recent difficulties in that area.

"-timeout" here means flag usage to distinguish from the
default timeout termination which uses signals.

This CL adds the following new publicly visible API:
	type Header struct { ...; PAXRecords map[string]string }

The new Header.PAXRecords field is a map of all PAX extended header records.

We suggest (but do not enforce) that users use VENDOR-prefixed keys
according to the following in the PAX specification:
<<<
The standard developers have reserved keyword name space for vendor extensions.
It is suggested that the format to be used is:
	VENDOR.keyword
where VENDOR is the name of the vendor or organization in all uppercase letters.
>>>

When reading, the Header.PAXRecords is populated with all PAX records
encountered so far, including basic ones (e.g., "path", "mtime", etc).
When writing, the fields of Header will be merged into PAXRecords,
overwriting any records that may conflict.

Since PAXRecords is a more expressive feature than Xattrs and
is entirely a superset of Xattrs, we mark Xattrs as deprecated,
and steer users towards the new PAXRecords API.

The issue has a discussion about adding a Header.SetPAXRecord method
to help validate records and keep the Header fields in sync.
However, we do not include that in this CL since that helper
method can always be added in the future.

There is no support for global records.

If Less(a, b) returns true when a is less than b, the correct way to
check if a is greater than b is to use Less(b, a). It is wrong to use
!Less(a, b) because that checks if a is greater than *or equal to* b.

1. The decreasingDistance function in Example_sortKeys makes this
   mistake. Fix it.

2. The documentation of multiSorter.Less says it loops along the less
   functions until it finds a comparison "that is either Less or
   !Less". This is nonsense, because (Less(a, b) or !Less(a, b)) is
   always true. Fix the documentation to say that it finds a
   comparison "that discriminates between the two items (one is less
   than the other)". The implementation already does this correctly.

Throughout the spec we use the notion of a constant x being
representable by a value of type T. While intuitively clear,
at least for floating-point and complex constants types, the
concept was not well-defined. In the section on Conversions
there was an extra rule for floating-point types only and it
missed the case of floating-point values overflowing to an
infinity after rounding.

Since the concept is important to Go, and a compiler most
certainly will have a function to test "representability",
it seems warranted to define the term explicitly in the spec.

This change introduces a new entry "Representability" under
the section on "Properties of types and values", and defines
the term explicitly, together with examples.

The phrase used is "representable by" rather than "representable as"
because the former use is prevalent in the spec.

Additionally, it clarifies that a floating-point constant
that overflows to an infinity after rounding is never
representable by a value of a floating-point type, even though
infinities are valid values of IEEE floating point types.
This is required because there are not infinite value constants
in the language (like there is also no -0.0) and representability
also matters for constant conversions. This is not a language
change, and type-checkers have been following this rule before.

The change also introduces links throughout the spec to the new
section as appropriate and removes duplicate text and examples
elsewhere (Constants and Conversions sections), leading to
simplifications in the relevant paragraphs.

Fixes #15389.

Prior to this change, we use typedmemmove to write the key
value to its new location in mapassign_fast32 and mapassign_fast64.
(The use of typedmemmove was a last-minute fix in the 1.9 cycle;
see #21297 and CL 53414.)

This is significantly less inefficient than direct assignment or
calling writebarrierptr directly.

Fortunately, there aren't many cases to consider.

On systems with 32 bit pointers:

* A 32 bit AMEM value either is a single pointer or has no pointers.
* A 64 bit AMEM value may contain a pointer at the beginning,
  a pointer at 32 bits, or two pointers.

On systems with 64 bit pointers:

* A 32 bit AMEM value contains no pointers.
* A 64 bit AMEM value either is a single pointer or has no pointers.

All combinations except the 32 bit pointers / 64 bit AMEM value are
cheap and easy to handle, and the problematic case is likely rare.
The most popular map keys appear to be ints and pointers.

So we handle them exhaustively. The sys.PtrSize checks are constant branches
and are eliminated by the compiler.

An alternative fix would be to return a pointer to the key,
and have the calling code do the assignment, at which point the compiler
would have full type information.

Initial tests suggest that the performance difference between these
strategies is negligible, and this fix is considerably simpler,
and has much less impact on binary size.

CL 36428 changed the way nanotime works so on Darwin and Windows it
now depends on runtime.startNano, which is computed at runtime.init
time. Unfortunately, the `runtimeInitTime = nanotime()` initialization
happened *before* runtime.init, so on these platforms runtimeInitTime
is set incorrectly. The one (and only) consequence of this is that the
start time printed in gctrace lines is bogus:

gc 1 18446653480.186s 0%: 0.092+0.47+0.038 ms clock, 0.37+0.15/0.81/1.8+0.15 ms cpu, 4->4->1 MB, 5 MB goal, 8 P

To fix this, this commit moves the runtimeInitTime initialization to
shortly after runtime.init, at which point nanotime is safe to use.

This also requires changing the condition in newproc1 that currently
uses runtimeInitTime != 0 simply to detect whether or not the main M
has started. Since runtimeInitTime could genuinely be 0 now, this
introduces a separate flag to newproc1.
