Since golang.org/cl/31670, we've stopped using the 'embedded' function
for handling struct embeddings within package export data. Now the
only remaining use is for Go source files, which allows for some
substantial simplifications:

1. CenterDot never appears within Go source files, so that logic can
simply be removed.

2. The field name will always be declared in the local package.

Passes toolstash-check.

Rewrite the test to closely match the version in the paper so it can
be verified as correct by virtue of similarity.

The only major difference between this new version and the version in

This new version also counts the number of calls to Less() and fails

For code like the following (where x escapes):

   x := []int{1}

We're currently generating a nil check.  The line above is really 3 operations:

	t := new([1]int)
	t[0] = 1
	x := t[:]

We remove the nil check for t[0] = 1, but not for t[:].

Our current nil check removal rule is too strict about the possible
memory arguments of the nil check. Unlike zeroing or storing to the
result of runtime.newobject, the nilness of runtime.newobject is
always false, even after other stores have happened in the meantime.

In writelines the linker uses various auxiliary information about a
function to create its line table entries. (It also does some unrelated
stuff, but never mind.) There's no reason to do this for non-Go
functions, so it bails out if the symbol has no FuncInfo.

However, it does so *after* it looks up (and implicitly creates!) the
go.info symbol for the function, which doesn't make sense and risks
creating duplicate symbols for static C functions. Move the check up so
that it doesn't do that.

Since non-Go functions can't reference Go types, there shouldn't be any
relocations to type info DIEs that need to be built, so there should be
no harm not doing that.

I wanted to change the Lookup to an ROLookup but that broke the
shared-mode tests with an inscrutable error.

The Reader and Writer are now at feature parity,
meaning that everything that can be parsed by the Reader,
can also be composed by the Writer.

This position enables us to support selection of the format
in a backwards compatible way, since it ensures that everything
that can be read can also be round-trip written.

As such, we add the following new API:
    type Format int
            const FormatUnknown Format = 0 ...
    type Header struct { ...; Format Format }

The new Header.Format field is populated by the Reader on the
best guess on what the format is. Note that the Reader is very liberal
in what it permits, so a hybrid TAR file using aspects of multiple
formats can still be decoded, but will be reported as FormatUnknown.

Even though Reader has full support for V7 and basic support for STAR,
it will still report those formats as unknown (and the constants for
those formats are not even exported). The reasons for this is because
the Writer has no support for V7 or STAR. Leaving it as unknown allows
the Writer to choose a format usually USTAR or GNU that can encode
the equivalent Header.

When writing, the Header.allowedFormats will take the Format field
into consideration if it is a known format.

This CL is the second step (of two; part1 is CL/56771) for adding
sparse file support to the Writer.

There are no new identifiers exported in this CL, but this does make
use of Header.SparseHoles added in part1. If the Typeflag is set to
TypeGNUSparse or len(SparseHoles) > 0, then the Writer will emit an
sparse file, where the holes must be written by the user as zeros.

If TypeGNUSparse is set, then the output file must use the GNU format.
Otherwise, it must use the PAX format (with GNU-defined PAX keys).

A future CL may export Reader.Discard and Writer.FillZeros,
but those methods are currently unexported, and only used by the
tests for efficiency reasons.
Calling Discard or FillZeros on a hole 10GiB in size does take
