Marshalling of []byte in attributes and the general
marshalling of named []byte types was fixed.

A []byte field also won't be nil if an XML element
was mapped to it, even if the element is empty.

Tests were introduced to make sure that *struct{}
fields works correctly for element presence testing.
No changes to the logic made in that regard.

It was 2^31, but that could cause overflow and trouble.
Reduce it to 2^30 and add a TODO.

I haven't looked at the source, but the gc compiler appears to
omit "not used" errors when there is an error in the
initializer.  This is harder to do in gccgo, and frankly I
think the "not used" error is still useful even if the
initializer has a problem.  This CL tweaks some tests to avoid
the error, which is not the point of these tests in any case.

It takes too much memory to be reliable and causes

Sigh.

This fixes the bug Rob ran into when editing package bytes.
Regexp imports regexp/syntax, which imports bytes, and
regexp/syntax was not being properly recompiled during a
test of a change to package bytes.

summary:     gc: fix infinite recursion for embedded interfaces

This is causing 'interface type loop' errors during compilation
of a complex program.  I don't understand what's happening
well enough to boil it down to a simple test case, but undoing
this change fixes the problem.

The change being undone is fixing a corner case (uses of
pointer to interface in an interface definition) that basically
only comes up in erroneous Go programs.  Let's not try to
fix this again until after Go 1.

Unfixes issue 1909.

        We already use GOHOSTOS to represent the host OS that the toolchain
        will be run on, so no need to resort to uname(1) to get that (and
        use uname(1) will make cross-compiling for another host impossible).
