Currently we lose lots of profiling signals.
Most notably, GC is not accounted at all.
But stack splits, scheduler, syscalls, etc are lost as well.
This creates seriously misleading profile.
With this change all profiling signals are accounted.
Now I see these additional entries that were previously absent:
161  29.7%  29.7%      164  30.3% syscall.Syscall
 12   2.2%  50.9%       12   2.2% scanblock
 11   2.0%  55.0%       11   2.0% markonly
 10   1.8%  58.9%       10   1.8% sweepspan
  2   0.4%  85.8%        2   0.4% runtime.newstack
It is still impossible to understand what causes stack splits,
but at least it's clear how many time is spent on them.

The compilers assume they can generate temporary variables
as needed to preserve the right semantics or simplify code
generation and the back end will still generate good code.
This turns out not to be true. The back ends will only
track the first 128 variables per function and give up
on the remainder. That needs to be fixed too, in a later CL.

This CL merges temporary variables with equal types and
non-overlapping lifetimes using the greedy algorithm in
Poletto and Sarkar, "Linear Scan Register Allocation",
ACM TOPLAS 1999.

The result can be striking in the right functions.

The call builtin unconditionally tries to convert a second return value from a function to the error type. This fails in case nil is returned, effectively making call useless for functions returning two values.

This CL adds a nil check for the second return value, and adds a test.

Note that for regular function and method calls the nil error case is handled correctly and is verified by a test.

Code in gc/popt.c is compiled as part of 5g, 6g, and 8g,
meaning it can use arch-specific headers but there's
just one copy of the code.

This is the same arrangement we use for the portable
code generation logic in gc/pgen.c.

Move fixjmp and noreturn there to get the ball rolling.

Malformed domain attributes are not sent in a Set-Cookie header.
Instead the domain attribute is dropped which turns the cookie
into a host-only cookie. This is much safer than dropping characters
from domain attribute.

Domain attributes with a leading dot '.' are still allowed, even
if discouraged by RFC 6265 section 4.1.1.
