This changes the map lookup behavior for string maps with 2-8 keys.

There was already previously a fastpath for 0 items and 1 item.

Now, if a string-keyed map has <= 8 items, first check all the
keys for length first. If only one has the right length, then
just check it for equality and avoid hashing altogether. Once
the map has more than 8 items, always hash like normal.

I don't know why some of the other non-string map benchmarks
got faster. This was with benchtime=2s, multiple times. I haven't
anything else getting slower, though.

It was unnecessarily cloning and then mutating a map that had
a very short lifetime (just that function).

No new tests, because they were added in revision 833bf2ef1527
(TestHeaderToWire). The benchmarks below are from the earlier
commit, revision 52e3407d.

I noticed this inefficiency when reviewing a change Peter Buhr
is looking into, which will also use these benchmarks.

A package file may begin as either "package foo" or
"package foo safe". The latter is relevant when using -u.
https://golang.org/cl/6903059 resulted in the distinction
being dropped when a package was read for the second or later time.
This CL records whether that "safe" tag was present,
and includes it in the dummy statement generated for the lexer.

The expected precision setting for the x87 on Win32 is 53-bit
but MinGW resets the floating point unit to 64-bit.  Win32
object code generally expects values to be rounded to double,
