The scanner returns slices into the original source
for token values. If those slices are making it into
the AST and from there into other long-living data
structures (e.g. godoc search), references to the
original source are kept around involuntarily.

For the current godoc and source tree, this change reduces
memory consumption after indexing and before GC by ~92MB
or almost 30%, and by ~10MB after GC (or about 6%).

- just an oversight; we were reallocating a buffer.
- use unsafe to avoid allocating storage for a string twice.

Permit system calls to be designated as non-blocking, meaning
that we simply call them without involving the scheduler.

This change by itself is mostly performance neutral.  In
combination with a following change to the net package there
is a performance advantage.

The -test.run and -test.bench flags were compilng the regexp for ever test
function, which was mucking up memory profiles.   Add a simple wrapper
to save the compiled state so that the regexp is compiled only once for
each flag.
