Using the kernel-supplied compare-and-swap code
on linux/arm means that runtime doesn't have to care
whether this is GOARM=5 or GOARM=6 anymore.

Before this fix, types such as
        type T map[string]T
caused infinite recursion in the gob implementation.
Now they just work.

In CL 4188061 I changed malg to allocate the requested
number of bytes n, not n+StackGuard, so that the
allocations would use rounder numbers.

The allocation of the signal stack asks for 32k and
then used g->stackguard as the base, but g->stackguard
is StackGuard bytes above the base.  Previously, asking
for 32k meant getting 32k+StackGuard bytes, so using
g->stackguard as the base was safe.  Now, the actual base
must be computed, so that the signal handler does not
run StackGuard bytes past the top of the stack.

Was causing flakiness mainly in programs that use the
network, because they sometimes write to closed network
connections, causing SIGPIPEs.  Was also causing problems
in the doc/progs test.

Also fix Makefile so that changes to stack.h trigger rebuild.

A reference to the address of weak.foo resolves at link time
to the address of the symbol foo if foo would end up in the
binary anyway, or to zero if foo would not be in the binary.

For example:

        int xxx = 1;
        int yyy = 2;
        int weak·xxx;
        int weak·yyy;

        void main·main(void) {
                runtime·printf("%p %p %p\n", &xxx, &weak·xxx, &weak·yyy);
        }

prints the same non-nil address twice, then 0 (because yyy is not
referenced so it was dropped from the binary).

This will be used by the reflection tables.

Avoids deadlocks like the one below, in which a stack split happened
in order to call lock(&stacks), but then the stack unsplit cannot run
because stacks is now locked.

The only code calling stackalloc that wasn't on a scheduler
stack already was malg, which creates a new goroutine.

A terminal panic (one that prints a stack trace and exits)
has been calling runtime.breakpoint before calling exit,
so that if running under a debugger, the debugger can
take control.  When not running under a debugger, though,
this causes an additional SIGTRAP on Unix and pop-up
dialogs on Windows.

Support for debugging Go programs has gotten good
enough that we can rely on the debugger to set its own
breakpoint on runtime.exit if it wants to look around.

Much yet to come, but this is a safe first step, introducing
an in-the-future configurable Client object (where policy for
cookies, auth, redirects will live) as well as introducing a
ClientTransport interface for sending requests.

The CL intentionally ignores everything around the creation
and configuration of Clients and merely ports/wraps the old
interfaces to/around Client/ClientTransport.

The existing code assumed that signals only arrived
while executing on the goroutine stack (g == m->curg),
not while executing on the scheduler stack (g == m->g0).

Most of the signal handling trampolines correctly saved
and restored g already, but the sighandler C code did not
have access to it.

Some rewriting of assembly to make the various
implementations as similar as possible.

Will need to change Windows too but I don't
understand how sigtramp gets called there.

With this change, a panic trace due to a signal arriving while
running on the scheduler stack during a lessstack
(a stack unsplit) will trace through the lessstack to show
the state of the goroutine that was unsplitting its stack.

There are further changes required for things like
recursive map types.  Recursive struct types work
but the mechanism needs generalization.  The
case handled in this CL is pathological since it
cannot be represented at all by gob, so it should
be handled separately. (Prior to this CL, encode
would recur forever.)

Avoid passing the placeholder diff to hgpatch, so that
clpatch-ing an empty diff grabs the metadata and warns
about it being empty, rather than failing with a
hard-to-debug problem ("mkdir: no such file or dir",
no metadata, etc).
