Garbage collection code (to be merged later) is calling functions
which have many local variables. This increases the probability that
the stack capacity won't be big enough to hold the local variables.
So, start gc() on a bigger stack to eliminate a potentially large number
of calls to runtime·morestack().

As discussed in issue 2672 and on golang-nuts, this CL adds a Split() method
to regexp. It is based on returning the "opposite" of FindAllString() so that
the returned substrings are everything not matched by the expression.

The syslog implementation was not correctly implementing the
traditional syslog format because it had a confused notion of
'priority'.  syslog priority is not a single number but is, in
fact, the combination of a facility number and a severity. The
previous Go syslog implementation had a single Priority that
appeared to be the syslog severity and no way of setting the
facility.  That meant that all syslog messages from Go
programs appeared to have a facility of 0 (LOG_KERN) which
meant they all appeared to come from the kernel.

Also, the 'prefix' was in fact the syslog tag (changed the
internal name for clarity as the term tag is more widely used)
and the timestamp and hostname values were missing from
messages.

With this change syslog messages are generated in the correct
format with facility and severity combined into a priority,
the timestamp in RFC3339 format, the hostname, the tag (with
the PID in [] appened) and the message.

The format is now:

   <PRI>1 TIMESTAMP HOSTNAME TAG[PID]: MSG

The TIMESTAMP, HOSTNAME and PID fields are filled in
automatically by the package. The TAG and the MSG are supplied
by the user. This is what rsyslogd calls TraditionalFormat and
should be compatible with multiple systems.

Thanks to Dustin Sallings for exposing the most frustrating
bug ever, and for providing repro cases (which formed the
basis of the new tests in this CL), and to Dave Cheney and
Dmitry Vyukov for help debugging and fixing.

This CL depends on submited pollster CLs ffd1e075c260 (Unix)
and 14b544194509 (Windows), as well as unsubmitted 6852085.
Some operating systems (OpenBSD, NetBSD, ?) may still require
more pollster work, fixing races (Issue 4434 and
http://goo.gl/JXB6W).

Tested on linux-amd64 and darwin-amd64, both with GOMAXPROCS 1
and 4 (all combinations of which previously failed differently)

The stack overflow checker in the linker uses the spadj field
to determine whether stack space will be large enough or not.
When spadj=0, the checker treats the function as a nosplit
and emits an error although the program is correct.

The 8l linker automatically inserts XCHG instructions
to support otherwise impossible byte registers

Sometimes AX or DX is needed (for MUL and DIV) so
we need to avoid clobbering them.

If the a network read would block, and a packet arrived just before the timeout expired, then the number of bytes from the previous (blocking) read, -1, would be returned.

This change restores the previous logic, where n would be unconditionally set to 0 if err != nil, but was skipped due to a change in CL 6851096.

The test for this change is CL 6851061.
