The patch makes the compile user an ordinary package-local
symbol for the name of embedded fields of builtin type.

This is incompatible with the fix delivered for issue 2687
(revision 3c060add43fb) but fixes it in a different way, because
the explicit symbol on the field makes the typechecker able to
find it in lookdot.

remove zerostack compiler experiment; will do at link time instead

««« original CL description
cmd/gc: add GOEXPERIMENT=zerostack to clear stack on function entry

This is expensive but it might be useful in cases where
people are suffering from false positives during garbage
collection and are willing to trade the CPU time for getting
rid of the false positives.

On the other hand it only eliminates false positives caused
by other function calls, not false positives caused by dead
temporaries stored in the current function call.

The 5g/6g/8g changes were pulled out of the history, from
the last time we needed to do this (to work around a goto bug).
The code in go.h, lex.c, pgen.c is new but tiny.

This makes Marshal handle fields marked ",any" instead of ignoring
them. That makes Marshal more symmetrical with Unmarshal, which seems
to have been a design goal.

Note some test cases were changed, because this patch changes
marshalling behavior. I think the previous behavior was buggy, but
there's still a backward-compatibility question to consider.

Enable cgo on OpenBSD.

The OpenBSD ld.so(1) does not currently support PT_TLS sections. Work
around this by fixing up the TCB that has been provided by librthread
and reallocating a TCB with additional space for TLS. Also provide a
wrapper for pthread_create, allowing zeroed TLS to be allocated for
threads created externally to Go.

Joint work with Shenghou Ma (minux).
