The move from 4kB to 8kB in Go 1.2 was to eliminate many stack split hot spots.

The move back to 4kB was predicated on copying stacks eliminating
the potential for hot spots.

Unfortunately, the fact that stacks do not copy 100% of the time means
that hot spots can still happen under the right conditions, and the slowdown
is worse now than it was in Go 1.2. There is a real program in issue 8030 that
sees about a 30x slowdown: it has a reflect call near the top of the stack
which inhibits any stack copying on that segment.

Go back to 8kB until stack copying can be used 100% of the time.

Fixes #8030.

The float32 const conversion used to round to float64
and then use the hardware to round to float32.
Even though there was a range check before this
conversion, the double rounding introduced inaccuracy:
the round to float64 might round the value further away
from the float32 range, reaching a float64 value that
could not actually be rounded to float32. The hardware
appears to give us 0 in that case, but it is probably undefined.
Double rounding also meant that the wrong value might
be used for certain border cases.

Do the rounding the float32 ourselves, just as we already
did the rounding to float64. This makes the conversion
precise and also makes the conversion match the range check.

Finally, add some code to print very large (bigger than float64)
floating point constants in decimal floating point notation instead
of falling back to the precise but human-unreadable binary floating
point notation.

CL 22730043 fixed a bug in these functions: they could
return 1.0 despite documentation saying otherwise.
But the fix changed the values returned in the non-buggy case too,
which might invalidate programs depending on a particular
stream when using rand.Seed(0) or when passing their own
Source to rand.New.

The example test says:
        // These tests serve as an example but also make sure we don't change
        // the output of the random number generator when given a fixed seed.
so I think there is some justification for thinking we have
promised not to change the values. In any case, there's no point in
changing the values gratuitously: we can easily fix this bug without
changing the values, and so we should.

That CL just changed the test values too, which defeats the
stated purpose, but it was just a comment.
Add an explicit regression test, which might be
a clearer signal next time that we don't want to change
the values.

These functions claimed to return error (an interface)
and be implemented entirely in assembly, but it's not
possible to create an interface from assembly
(at least not easily).

In reality the functions were written to return an errno uintptr
despite the Go prototype saying error.
When the errno was 0, they coincidentally filled out a nil error
by writing the 0 to the type word of the interface.
If the errno was ever non-zero, the functions would
create a non-nil error that would crash when trying to
call err.Error().

Luckily these functions (Seek, Time, Gettimeofday) pretty
much never fail, so it was all kind of working.

TestLargeDefs was issuing over one million small writes to
create a 7MB file (large.go). This is quite slow on Plan 9
since our disk file systems aren't very fast and they're
usually accessed over the network.

Buffering the writes makes the test about six times faster.
Even on Linux, it's about 1.5 times faster.

Here are the results on a slow Plan 9 machine:

Before:
        % ./pack.test -test.v -test.run TestLargeDefs
        === RUN TestLargeDefs
        --- PASS: TestLargeDefs (125.11 seconds)
        PASS

After:
        % ./pack.test -test.v -test.run TestLargeDefs
        === RUN TestLargeDefs
        --- PASS: TestLargeDefs (20.835 seconds)

The introduction of temporaries in order.c was not
quite right for two corner cases:

1) The rewrite that pushed new variables on the lhs of
a receive into the body of the case was dropping the
declaration of the variables. If the variables escape,
the declaration is what allocates them.
Caught by escape analysis sanity check.
In fact the declarations should move into the body
always, so that we only allocate if the corresponding
case is selected. Do that. (This is an optimization that
was already present in Go 1.2. The new order code just
made it stop working.)

Fixes #7997.

2) The optimization to turn a single-recv select into
an ordinary receive assumed it could take the address
of the destination; not so if the destination is _.

Fixes #7998.

None of these are real bugs.
The variable name in the reference is not semantically meaningful,
except that 'go vet' will double check the offset against the name for you.

The stack sizes being corrected really are incorrect but they are also
in NOSPLIT functions so they typically don't matter.
