This is expensive but it might be useful in cases where
people are suffering from false positives during garbage
collection and are willing to trade the CPU time for getting
rid of the false positives.

On the other hand it only eliminates false positives caused
by other function calls, not false positives caused by dead
temporaries stored in the current function call.

The 5g/6g/8g changes were pulled out of the history, from
the last time we needed to do this (to work around a goto bug).
The code in go.h, lex.c, pgen.c is new but tiny.

Details:

- This CL is the conceptual skeleton of code found in CL 6114046

- The garbage collector uses struct Obj to specify memory blocks

- scanblock() is putting found memory blocks into an intermediate buffer
  (xbuf) before adding/flushing them to the main work buffer (wbuf)

- The main loop in scanblock() is replaced with a skeleton code that
  in the future will be able to recognize the type of objects and
  thus will improve the garbage collector's precision.
  For now, all objects are simply sequences of pointers so
  the precision of the garbage collector remains unchanged.

- The code plugs .gcdata and .gcbss sections into the garbage collector.
  scanblock() in this CL is unable to make any use of this.

I've been writing some code which involves syncing files (like
rsync) and it became apparent that under Linux I could read
modification times (os.Lstat) with nanosecond precision but
only write them with microsecond precision.  This difference
in precision is rather annoying when trying to discover
whether files need syncing or not!

I've patched syscall and os to increases the accuracy of of
os.Chtimes for Linux and Windows.  This involved exposing the
utimensat system call under Linux and a bit of extra code
under Windows.  I decided not to expose the "at" bit of the
system call as it is impossible to replicate under Windows, so
the patch adds syscall.Utimens() to all architectures along
with a ImplementsUtimens flag.

If the utimensat syscall isn't available (utimensat was added
to Linux in 2.6.22, Released, 8 July 2007) then it silently
falls back to the microsecond accuracy version it uses now.
The improved accuracy for Windows should be good for all
versions of Windows.

Unfortunately Darwin doesn't seem to have a utimensat system
call that I could find so I couldn't implement it there.  The
BSDs do, but since they share their syscall implementation
with Darwin I couldn't figure out how to define a syscall for
*BSD and not Darwin.  I've left this as a TODO in the code.

In the process I implemented the missing methods for Timespec
under Windows which I needed which just happened to round out
the Timespec API for all platforms!
