Remove method type information for pruned methods from any program
that does not reflect on methods. This can be a significant saving:

	addr2line: -310KB (8.8%)

A future update might want to consider a more aggressive variant of
this: setting the Type and Func fields of reflect.Method to nil for
unexported methods. That would shrink cmd/go by 2% and jujud by 2.6%
but could be considered an API change. So this CL sticks to the
uncontroversial change.

For #6853.

CL 14603 attempted to preserve the callee-save registers for
the darwin/arm runtime initialization routine, but I believe it
wasn't sufficient and resulted in the crash reported in issue

Saving and restoring the registers on the stack the same way
linux/arm does seems more obvious and fixes #14778, so do that.

Even though #14778 is not reproducible on darwin/arm64, I applied
a similar change there, and to linux/arm64 which obeys the same
calling convention.

Finally, this CL is a candidate for a 1.6 minor release for the same
reason CL 14603 was in a 1.5 minor release (as CL 16968). It is
small and only touches the iOS platforms and gomobile on darwin/arm
is currently useless without it.

was a thus a bad idea if the string's name was long.
Recent improvements by crawshaw have changed that.

in local packages, place them in the global string
package and make them content-addressable.
Symbol names still occur in the object files,
so use a hash to avoid needless length there.

In package gc, this change is just moving code. There are no functional

Currently copystack adjusts pointers in the old stack and then copies
the adjusted stack to the new stack. In addition to being generally
confusing, this is going to make concurrent stack shrinking harder.

Switch this around so that we first copy the stack and then adjust
pointers on the new stack (never writing to the old stack).

This reprises CL 15996, but takes a different and simpler approach. CL
15996 still walked the old stack while adjusting pointers on the new
stack. In this CL, we adjust auxiliary structures before walking the
stack, so we can just walk the new stack.

Instead of generating ADATA instructions for

This is considerably more efficient.
The assembler still generates
ADATA instructions, so the ADATA machinery
cannot be dismantled yet. (Future work.)
Skipping ADATA has a significant impact
compiling the unicode package, which has lots
of static data.

This does not pass toolstash -cmp, because
this changes the order in which some relocations
get added, and thus it changes the output from
the compiler. It is not worth the execution time
to sort the relocs in the normal case.

However, compiling with -S -v generates identical
output if (1) you suppress printing of ADATA progs
in flushplist and (2) you suppress printing of
cpu timing. It is reasonable to suppress printing
the ADATA progs, since the data itself is dumped
later. I am therefore fairly confident that all
changes are superficial and non-functional.
