The parser/resolver cannot accurately resolve
composite literal keys that are identifiers;
it needs type information.
Instead, try to resolve them but leave final
judgement to the type checker.

and interpret its contents as bytes rather than as potential pointers.
This may lead the garbage collector to free memory blocks that

Motivations:
 - Simpler UI. Previous API proved a bit awkward for practical purposes.
 - Iter is often used in cases where one want to be able to bail out early.
   The old implementaton had too much look-ahead to be efficient.
Disadvantages:
 - ASCII performance is bad. This is unavoidable for tiny iterations.
   Example is included to show how to work around this.

Description:
Iter now iterates per boundary/segment. It returns a slice of bytes that
either points to the input bytes, the internal decomposition strings,
or the small internal buffer that each iterator has. In many cases, copying
bytes is avoided.
The method Seek was added to support jumping around the input without
having to reinitialize.

Details:
 - Table adjustments: some decompositions exist of multiple segments.
   Decompositions that are of this type are now marked so that Iter can
   handle them separately.
 - The old iterator had a different next function for different normal forms
   that was assigned to a function pointer called by Next.
   The new iterator uses this mechanism to switch between different modes
   for handling different type of input as well.  This greatly improves
   performance for Hangul and ASCII. It is also used for multi-segment
   decompositions.
 - input is now a struct of sting and []byte, instead of an interface.
   This simplifies optimizing the ASCII case.

the need to decompose characters for the majority of cases.  This considerably
speeds up collation while increasing the table size minimally.

To detect non-normalized strings, rather than relying on exp/norm, the table
now includes CCC information. The inclusion of this information does not
increase table size.

DETAILS
 - Raw collation elements are now a struct that includes the CCC, rather
   than a slice of ints.
 - Builder now ensures that NFD and NFC counterparts are included in the table.
   This also fixes a bug for Korean which is responsible for most of the growth
   of the table size.
 - As there is no more normalization step, code should now handle both strings
   and byte slices as input. Introduced source type to facilitate this.

NOTES
 - This change does not handle normalization correctly entirely for contractions.
   This causes a few failures with the regtest. table_test.go contains a few
   uncommented tests that can be enabled once this is fixed.  The easiest is to
   fix this once we have the new norm.Iter.
 - Removed a test cases in table_test that covers cases that are now guaranteed
   to not exist.

An error during the compilation can be more precise
than an error at link time.

For 'func init', the error happens always: you can't forward
declare an init func because the name gets mangled.

For other funcs, the error happens only with the special
(and never used by hand) -= flag, which tells 6g the
package is pure go.

The go command now passes -= for pure Go packages.

This is expensive but it might be useful in cases where
people are suffering from false positives during garbage
collection and are willing to trade the CPU time for getting
rid of the false positives.

On the other hand it only eliminates false positives caused
by other function calls, not false positives caused by dead
temporaries stored in the current function call.

The 5g/6g/8g changes were pulled out of the history, from
the last time we needed to do this (to work around a goto bug).
The code in go.h, lex.c, pgen.c is new but tiny.
