Added a new Framer to handle reading/writing Frames. This is necessary since we have to maintain a compression context across streams.

TODO:
* Separate the types and read/write routines into different files.
* Improve error handling.

This permits external packages implementing e.g.
FTP or gopher to register themselves with the
http.DefaultClient:

package ftp
func init() {
    http.DefaultTransport.RegisterProtocol("ftp", &ftp{})
}

Client code would look like:

import (
    _ "github.com/exampleuser/go/gopher"
    _ "github.com/exampleuser/go/ftp"
)

func main() {
    resp, err := http.Get("ftp://example.com/path.txt")
    ...
}

Makes all.bash work after echo 4 >/proc/cpu/alignment,
which means kill the process on an unaligned access.

The default behavior on DreamPlug/GuruPlug/SheevaPlug
is to simulate an ARMv3 and just let the unaligned accesses
stop at the word boundary, resulting in all kinds of surprises.

Fixes #1240.

The spec was adjusted in commit df410d6a4842 to allow the
implicit assignment of strutures with unexported fields in
method receivers.  This change updates the compiler.

Also moved bug322 into fixedbugs and updated golden.out
to reflect the removal of the last known bug.

Fixes #1402.
