If systems actually read that much, using 2GB-1 will
result in misaligned subsequent reads. Use 1GB instead,
which will certainly keep reads aligned and which is
plenty large enough.

For gccgo we rename exported functions so that the compiler
will make them visible.  This CL adds a #define so that C
functions that #include "cgo_export.h" can use the expected
names of the function.

The test for this is the existing issue6833 test in
misc/cgo/test.  Without this CL it fails when using
-compiler=gccgo.

The vi bundled with OS X has a weird bug in that if you turn off
filetype in .vimrc when it's not turned on, even a clean exit of
vi will return 1 which breaks almost everything.

While we're at it, add hint to change $GOROOT to its actual value
in .vimrc.

For the gc compiler the Go function Issue7695 is defined in
runtime.c, but there is no way to do that for gccgo, because
there is no way to get the correct pkgpath.  The test is not
important for gccgo in any case.

Previously we used strndup(3) to implement C.CString for gccgo. This
is wrong because strndup assumes the string to be null terminated,
and stops at the first null terminator. Instead, use malloc
and memmove to create a copy of the string, as we do in the
gc implementation.

A very smart developer at Gophercon just asked me to help debug
a problem and I was horrified to learn that he was using httputil's
ClientConn. I forgot ClientConn and ServerConn were even included
in Go 1! They should've been deleted.

Scare people away from using them. The net/http package does
not use them and they're unused, unmaintained and untouched in
4+ years.
