At last minute before 1.3 we relaxed SetFinalizer to avoid
crashes when you pass the result of a global alloc to it.
This avoids the crash but makes SetFinalizer a bit too relaxed.

Document that the finalizer of a global allocation may not run.

Tighten the SetFinalizer check to ignore a global allocation but
not ignore everything else.

Fixes #7656.

Apply a similar transformation to %+v that we did to %#v, making it
a top-level setting separate from the + flag itself. This fixes the
appearance of flags in Formatters and cleans up the code too,
probably making it a little faster.

The %#v verb is special: it says all values below need to print as %#v.
However, for some situations the # flag has other meanings and this
causes some issues, particularly in how Formatters work. Since %#v
dominates all formatting, translate it into actual state of the formatter
and decouple it from the # flag itself within the calculations (although
it must be restored when methods are doing the work.)
The result is cleaner code and correct handling of # for Formatters.
TODO: Apply the same thinking to the + flag in a followup CL.

Also, the wasString return value in handleMethods is always false,
so eliminate it.

This is a minor cleanup following CL 142360043:

The internal parse and format functions in both packages
were almost identical - made them identical by adding an

out, but we cannot do this now while in prep for 1.4.
