The code for a generated type is already generating an
unrolled GC bitmask.  Rather than unrolling the the source
type bitmasks and copying them, just generate the required
bitmask directly.  Don't mark it as an unrolled GC program,
since there is no need to do so.

Fixes #8917.

Our current pe object reader assumes that every symbol starting with
'.' is section. It appeared to be true, until now gcc 4.9.1 generates
some symbols with '.' at the front. Change that logic to check other
symbol fields in addition to checking for '.'. I am not an expert
here, but it seems reasonable to me.

Added test, but it is only good, if tested with gcc 4.9.1. Otherwise
the test PASSes regardless.

gcc 4.9.1 generates pe sections with names longer then 8 charters.

From IMAGE_SECTION_HEADER definition:

Name
An 8-byte, null-padded UTF-8 string. There is no terminating null character
if the string is exactly eight characters long. For longer names, this
member contains a forward slash (/) followed by an ASCII representation
of a decimal number that is an offset into the string table.

Our current pe object file reader does not read string table when section
names starts with /. Do that, so (issue 8811 example)

https://golang.org/cl/153770043/ tried to fix the case where a
implicitly tagged Time, that happened to have the same tag as
GENERALIZEDTIME, shouldn't be parsed as a GENERALIZEDTIME.

It did so, mistakenly, by testing whether params.tag != nil. But
explicitly tagged values also have a non-nil tag and there the inner
tag actually does encode the type of the value.

This change instead tests whether the tag class is UNIVERSAL before
assuming that the tag contains type information.

This change prevents confusion in the garbage collector.
The collector wants to make sure that every pointer it finds
isn't junk.  Its criteria for junk is (among others) points
to a "free" span.

Because the stack shrinker modifies pointers in the heap,
there is a race condition between the GC scanner and the
shrinker.  The GC scanner can see old pointers (pointers to
freed stacks).  In particular this happens with SudoG.elem
pointers.

Normally this is not a problem, as pointers into stack spans
are ok.  But if the freed stack is the last one in its span,
the span is marked as "free" instead of "contains stacks".

This change makes sure that even if the GC scanner sees
an old pointer, the span into which it points is still
marked as "contains stacks", and thus the GC doesn't
complain about it.

This change will make the GC pause a tiny bit slower, as
the stack freeing now happens in serial with the mark pause.
We could delay the freeing until the mutators start back up,
but this is the simplest change for now.

The change contains 3 spot optimizations to scan loop:
1. Don't use byte vars, use uintptr's instead.
This seems to alleviate some codegen issue,
and alone accounts to a half of speedup.
2. Remove bitmap cache. Currently we cache only 1 byte,
so caching is not particularly effective anyway.
Removal of the cache simplifies code and positively affects regalloc.
3. Replace BitsMultiword switch with if and
do debug checks only in Debug mode.
I've benchmarked changes separately and ensured that
each of them provides speedup on top of the previous one.
This change as a whole fixes the unintentional regressions
of scan loop that were introduced during development cycle.

Another dangling stack pointer in a cached structure.
Same as SudoG.elem and SudoG.selectdone.

Definitely a fix, and the new test in freedefer makes the
crash reproducible, but probably not a complete fix.
I have seen one dangling pointer in a Defer.panic even
after this fix; I cannot see where it could be coming from.

I have a CL which at every gc looks through data and bss
sections for nonpointer data (according to gc maps) that
looks like a pointer.  These are potential missing roots.

The only thing it finds are begnign, storing stack pointers
into m0.scalararg[1] and never cleaning them up.  Let's
clean them up now so the test CL passes all.bash cleanly.

The test CL can't be checked in because we might store
pointer-looking things in nonpointer data by accident.

We no longer have full type information in the heap, so
we can't dump that any more.  Instead we dump ptr/noptr
maps so at least we can compute graph connectivity.

In addition, we still dump Iface/Eface types so together
with dwarf type info we might be able to reconstruct
types of most things in the heap.

This will help find bugs during the release freeze.
It's not clear it should be kept for the release itself.
That's issue 8861.

The most likely thing that would trigger this is stale
pointers that previously were ignored or caused memory
leaks. These were allowed due to the use of conservative
collection. Now that everything is precise, we should not
see them anymore.

The small number check reinforces what the stack copier
is already doing, catching the storage of integers in pointers.
It caught issue 8864.

The check is disabled if _cgo_allocate is linked into the binary,
which is to say if the binary is using SWIG to allocate untyped
Go memory. In that case, there are invalid pointers and there's
nothing we can do about it.
