Change 231af8ac63aa (CL 7314062) made runtime.enteryscall()
set m->mcache = nil, which means that we can no longer use
syscall.errstr in syscall.Syscall and syscall.Syscall6, since it
requires a new buffer to be allocated for holding the error string.
Instead, we use pre-allocated per-M storage to hold error strings
from syscalls made while in entersyscall mode, and call
runtime.findnull to calculate the lengths.

Fixes #4994.

This CL splits multicast listener tests into two; for IPv4 and
for IPv6. It also removes redundant test inputs and makes sure
that assignment of multicast interface to stablize the tests.

    Instead of relying on gofmt's diff output (which is a unified
    diff), we manually invoke diff -n and produce an RCS format diff,
    which can easily be parsed in Emacs, with the go--apply-rcs-patch
    function.

    This fixes undocumented issues with the old implementation such as
    skipping over hunks of changes, and it fixes the documented issue
    of not being able to handle file names that include whitespace.

    It can also apply the patch on a buffer that has no file name
    attached at all.

    Last but not least, it greatly simplifies the gofmt function
    itself.

Fixes #4766.
Fixes #4475.

Move pollServer from fd_unix.go to fd_poll_unix.go.
Add pollServerInit(*NetFD) to allow custom initialization.
Add pollServer.Close(*NetFD) to allow custom finalization.
Move setDeadline() to fd_poll_unix.go to allow custom handling of deadlines.
Move newPollServer() to fd_poll_unix.go to allow custom initialization.
No logical code changes.
The next step will be to turn off fd_poll_unix.go for some platform
(I have changes for darwin/linux) and redirect it into runtime. See:

The deadlock episodically occurs on misc/cgo/test/TestCthread.
The problem is that starttheworld() leaves some P's with local work
without M's. Then all active M's enter into syscalls, but reject to
wake another M's due to the following check (both in entersyscallblock() and in retake()):
if(p->runqhead == p->runqtail &&
        runtime·atomicload(&runtime·sched.nmspinning) +
        runtime·atomicload(&runtime·sched.npidle) > 0)

Ensure that accept/connect respect deadline,
even if the operation can be executed w/o blocking.
Note this changes external behavior, but it makes
it consistent with read/write.
Factor out deadline check into pollServer.PrepareRead/Write,
in preparation for edge triggered pollServer.
Ensure that pollServer.WaitRead/Write are not called concurrently
by adding rio/wio locks around connect/accept.

Now the default startup is that the program begins at _rt0_amd64_$GOOS,
which sets DI = argc, SI = argv and jumps to _rt0_amd64.

This makes the _rt0_amd64 entry match the expected semantics for
the standard C "main" function, which we can now provide for use when
linking against a standard C library.

This CL adds compatibility for GNU Emacs 23 (fixing fontification
issues) and XEmacs >=21.5.32 (fixing a lot of issues). Earlier
versions of XEmacs will not be supported because they do not
support POSIX character classes. Because of that, we also make use
of a lot of functions that were added in 21.5.32.

A known and currently unfixable issue with XEmacs is that go-mode
will not always fontify identifiers that use unicode correctly.

All changes for XEmacs are annotated in the diff.

Note: go--position-bytes is not currently used anywhere, but will
be in a future CL.

Fixes #4927.
