Memory management was consolitated with the BSD ports, since
it was almost identical.

Assembly thunks are gone, being replaced by the new //go:linkname
feature.

This change supersedes CL 138390043 (runtime: convert solaris
netpoll to Go), which was previously reviewed and tested.

This change is only the first step, the port now builds,
but doesn't run. Binaries fail to exec:

    ld.so.1: 6.out: fatal: 6.out: TLS requirement failure : TLS support is unavailable
    Killed

This seems to happen because binaries don't link with libc.so
anymore. We will have to solve that in a different CL.

Also this change is just a rough translation of the original
C code, cleanup will come in a different CL.

Scalararg and ptrarg are not "signal safe".
Go code filling them out can be interrupted by a signal,
and then the signal handler runs, and if it also ends up
in Go code that uses scalararg or ptrarg, now the old
values have been smashed.
For the pieces of code that do need to run in a signal handler,
we introduced onM_signalok, which is really just onM
except that the _signalok is meant to convey that the caller
asserts that scalarg and ptrarg will be restored to their old
values after the call (instead of the usual behavior, zeroing them).

Scalararg and ptrarg are also untyped and therefore error-prone.

Go code can always pass a closure instead of using scalararg
and ptrarg; they were only really necessary for C code.
And there's no more C code.

For all these reasons, delete scalararg and ptrarg, converting
the few remaining references to use closures.

Once those are gone, there is no need for a distinction between
onM and onM_signalok, so replace both with a single function
equivalent to the current onM_signalok (that is, it can be called
on any of the curg, g0, and gsignal stacks).

The name onM and the phrase 'm stack' are misnomers,
because on most system an M has two system stacks:
the main thread stack and the signal handling stack.

Correct the misnomer by naming the replacement function systemstack.

Fix a few references to "M stack" in code.

The main motivation for this change is to eliminate scalararg/ptrarg.
Rick and I have already seen them cause problems because
the calling sequence m.ptrarg[0] = p is a heap pointer assignment,
so it gets a write barrier. The write barrier also uses onM, so it has
all the same problems as if it were being invoked by a signal handler.
We worked around this by saving and restoring the old values
and by calling onM_signalok, but there's no point in keeping this nice
home for bugs around any longer.

This CL also changes funcline to return the file name as a result
instead of filling in a passed-in *string. (The *string signature is
left over from when the code was written in and called from C.)
That's arguably an unrelated change, except that once I had done
the ptrarg/scalararg/onM cleanup I started getting false positives
about the *string argument escaping (not allowed in package runtime).
The compiler is wrong, but the easiest fix is to write the code like
Go code instead of like C code. I am a bit worried that the compiler
is wrong because of some use of uninitialized memory in the escape
analysis. If that's the reason, it will go away when we convert the
compiler to Go. (And if not, we'll debug it the next time.)

If the linker finds the same name given a BSS and a non-BSS
symbol, the assumption is that the non-BSS symbol is the
true one, and the BSS symbol is just the best Go can do toward
an "extern" declaration. This has always been the case,
as long as the object files were read in the right order.

The old code worked when the BSS symbol is found before
the non-BSS symbol. This CL adds equivalent logic for when
the non-BSS symbol is found before the BSS symbol.
This comes up when Go must refer to symbols defined in
host object files.

export.c, lex.c:
Add -asmhdr flag to write assembly header file with struct
field offsets and const values. cmd/dist used to construct this
file by interpreting output from the C compiler.
Generate it from the Go definitions instead.
Also, generate the form we need directly, instead of relying
on cmd/dist for reprocessing.

lex.c, obj.c:
If the C compiler accepted #pragma cgo_xxx, recognize
a directive //go:cgo_xxx instead. The effect is the same as
in the C compiler: accumulate text into a buffer and emit in the
output file, where the linker will find and use it.

lex.c, obj.c:
Accept //go:linkname to control the external symbol name
used for a particular top-level Go variable. This makes it
possible to refer to C symbol names but also symbols from
other packages. It has always been possible to do this from
C and assembly. To drive home the point that this should not
be done lightly, require import "unsafe" in any file containing
//go:linkname.

plive.c, reflect.c, subr.c:
Hard-code that interfaces contain only pointers.
This means code handling multiword values in the garbage
