If you say 'go get -v' you get extra information when import
paths are not of the expected form.

If you say 'go get -v src/rsc.io/pdf' the message says that
src/rsc.io/pdf does not contain a hostname, which is incorrect.
The problem is that it does not begin with a hostname.

Need to restore the g register.  Somehow this line vaporized from

During a cgo call, the stack can be copied.  This copy invalidates
the pointer that cgo has into the return value area.  To fix this
problem, pass the address of the location containing the stack
top value (which is in the G struct).  For cgo functions which
return values, read the stktop before and after the cgo call to
compute the adjustment necessary to write the return value.

Not sure why they used empty.s and all these other
packages were special cased in cmd/go instead.
Add them to the list.

This avoids problems with net .s files being compiled
with gcc in cgo mode and gcc not supporting // comments
on ARM.

Not a problem with bytes, but be consistent.

The last change fixed the ARM build but broke the Windows build.
Maybe *this* will make everyone happy. Sigh.

Should fix the Windows build. Untested.

on Windows, args are made by src/os/exec_windows.go, not package runtime.
runtime·goargs has if(Windows) return;

The two init funcs in pkg os were conflicting, with the second
overwriting Args back to an empty slice.

In linker, refuse to write conservative (array of pointers) as the
garbage collection type for any variable in the data/bss GC program.

In the linker, attach the Go type to an already-read C declaration
during dedup. This gives us Go types for C globals for free as long
as the cmd/dist-generated Go code contains the declaration.
(Most runtime C declarations have a corresponding Go declaration.
Both are bss declarations and so the linker dedups them.)

In cmd/dist, add a few more C files to the auto-Go-declaration list
in order to get Go type information for the C declarations into the linker.

In C compiler, mark all non-pointer-containing global declarations
and all string data as NOPTR. This allows them to exist in C files
without any corresponding Go declaration. Count C function pointers
as "non-pointer-containing", since we have no heap-allocated C functions.

In runtime, add NOPTR to the remaining pointer-containing declarations,
none of which refer to Go heap objects.

In runtime, also move os.Args and syscall.envs data into runtime-owned
variables. Otherwise, in programs that do not import os or syscall, the
runtime variables named os.Args and syscall.envs will be missing type
information.

I believe that this CL eliminates the final source of conservative GC scanning
in non-SWIG Go programs, and therefore...
