The original go-mode is plagued with odd behaviour, lack of
behaviour typical to modes in Emacs and bugs.

This change rewrites great parts of go-mode (basically only
keeping the gofmt and godoc functions).

Additionally it adds new features such as manipulating package
imports.

The previous approach desugared the ast.SelectorExpr
to make implicit field selections explicit.  But:
1) it was clunky since it required allocating temporary
   syntax trees.
2) it was not thread-safe since it required poking
   types into the shared type map for the new ASTs.
3) the desugared syntax had no place to represent the
   package lexically enclosing each implicit field
   selection, so it was as if they all occurred in the
   same package as the explicit field selection.
   This meant unexported field names changed meaning.

This CL does what I should have done all along: just
generate the SSA instructions directly from the original
AST and the promoted field information.

Also:
- add logStack util for paired start/end log messages.
  Useful for debugging crashes.

Adjust the exit status string for Plan 9.

Upon allocating >100 file descriptors, Plan 9
raises a warning. Moreover, the Go runtime for
32-bit version of Plan 9 keeps /dev/bintime
open for its implementation of runtime.nanotime().
This change accounts for these things in

Functions for representing network connections as files
and vice versa, on Plan 9.

Representing network connections as files is not so
straight-forward, because a network connection on Plan 9
is represented by a host of files rather than a single
file descriptor (as is the case on UNIX). We use the
type system to distinguish between listeners and
connections, returning the control file in the former
case and the data file in the latter case.

Syscalls return `-1' on error and the representation is always
32-bits. The `$-1' literal in 64-bit assembly is always the
64-bit representation. So this change makes sure that we
always do a 32-bit comparison when checking for error.
Also makes sure that in the error case, we return a 64-bit
`-1' from runtime.seek.

Fixes the arithmetic for handling the error-string in
runtime.Syscall6.

The type information is (and for years has been) included
as an extra field in the address chunk of an instruction.
Unfortunately, suppose there is a string at a+24(FP) and
we have an instruction reading its length. It will say:

        MOVQ x+32(FP), AX

and the type of *that* argument is int (not slice), because
it is the length being read. This confuses the picture seen
by debuggers and now, worse, by the garbage collector.

Instead of attaching the type information to all uses,
emit an explicit list of TYPE instructions with the information.
The TYPE instructions are no-ops whose only role is to
provide an address to attach type information to.

For example, this function:

        func f(x, y, z int) (a, b string) {
                return
        }

now compiles into:

        --- prog list "f" ---
        0000 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) TEXT    f+0(SB),$0-56
        0001 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) LOCALS  ,
        0002 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) TYPE    x+0(FP){int},$8
        0003 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) TYPE    y+8(FP){int},$8
        0004 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) TYPE    z+16(FP){int},$8
        0005 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) TYPE    a+24(FP){string},$16
        0006 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) TYPE    b+40(FP){string},$16
        0007 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) MOVQ    $0,b+40(FP)
        0008 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) MOVQ    $0,b+48(FP)
        0009 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) MOVQ    $0,a+24(FP)
        0010 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) MOVQ    $0,a+32(FP)
        0011 (/Users/rsc/x.go:4) RET     ,

The { } show the formerly hidden type information.
The { } syntax is used when printing from within the gc compiler.
It is not accepted by the assemblers.

The same type information is now included on global variables:

0055 (/Users/rsc/x.go:15) GLOBL   slice+0(SB){[]string},$24(AL*0)

This more accurate type information fixes a bug in the
garbage collector's precise heap collection.

The linker only cares about globals right now, but having the
local information should make things a little nicer for Carl
in the future.

Fixes #4907.
