This CL adds a flag parser that matches the semantics of Go's
package flag. It also changes the linkers and compilers to use
the new flag parser.

Command lines that used to work, like
        8c -FVw
        6c -Dfoo
        5g -I/foo/bar
now need to be split into separate arguments:
        8c -F -V -w
        6c -D foo
        5g -I /foo/bar
The new spacing will work with both old and new tools.

The new parser also allows = for arguments, as in
        6c -D=foo
        5g -I=/foo/bar
but that syntax will not work with the old tools.

In addition to matching standard Go binary flag parsing,
the new flag parser generates more detailed usage messages
and opens the door to long flag names.

The recently added gc flag -= has been renamed -complete.

More cleanup in preparation for fixing issue 4069.

This CL replaces the three nearly identical copies of the
asmb ELF code with a single asmbelf function in elf.c.

In addition to the ELF code movement, remove the elfstr
array in favor of a simpler lookup, and identify sections by
name throughout instead of computing fragile indices.

The CL also replaces the three nearly identical copies of the
genasmsym code with a single genasmsym function in lib.c.

The ARM linker still compiles and generates binaries,
but I haven't tested the binaries. They may not work.

The Plan 9 symbol table format defines big-endian symbol values
for portability, but we want to be able to generate an ELF object file
and let the host linker link it, as part of the solution to issue 4069.
The symbol table itself, since it is loaded into memory at run time,
must be filled in by the final host linker, using relocation directives
to set the symbol values. On a little-endian machine, the linker will
only fill in little-endian values during relocation, so we are forced
to use little-endian symbol values.

To preserve most of the original portability of the symbol table
format, we make the table itself say whether it uses big- or
little-endian values. If the table begins with the magic sequence
        fe ff ff ff 00 00
then the actual table begins after those six bytes and contains
little-endian symbol values. Otherwise, the table is in the original
format and contains big-endian symbol values. The magic sequence
looks like an "end of table" entry (the fifth byte is zero), so legacy
readers will see a little-endian table as an empty table.

All the gc architectures are little-endian today, so the practical
effect of this CL is to make all the generated tables little-endian,
but if a big-endian system comes along, ld will not generate
the magic sequence, and the various readers will fall back to the
original big-endian interpretation.

RFC5424 specifies a version number (currently 1) after the facility and
severity in a syslog message (e.g. <7>1 TIMESTAMP ...).  This causes
rsyslog to fail to parse syslog message because the rest of the message
is not fully compliant with RFC5424.

For the widest compatibility, drop the version (messages are in the
RFC3164 BSD syslog format (e.g. <7>TIMESTAMP ...). Have tested this with
syslog-ng, rsyslog and syslogd.
