Back then, every x.go file in a package became an x.6 file
in the archive.  It was important to be able to allow the
use of long Go source file names, hence the increase in size.

Today, all Go source files compile into a single _go_.6 file
regardless of their names, so the archive file name length
no longer needs to be long.  The longer name causes some
problems on Plan 9, where the native archive format is the
same but with 16-byte names, so revert back to 16.
