Previously, the power64x runtime assembly was sloppy about
using sign-extending versus zero-extending moves of arguments
and return values.  I think all of the cases that actually
mattered have been fixed in recent CLs; this CL fixes up the
few remaining mismatches.

goprintf is a printf-like print for Go.
It is used in the code generated by 'defer print(...)' and 'go print(...)'.

Normally print(1, 2, 3) turns into

        printint(1)
        printint(2)
        printint(3)

but defer and go need a single function call to give the runtime;
they give the runtime something like goprintf("%d%d%d", 1, 2, 3).

Variadic functions like goprintf cannot be described in the new
type information world, so we have to replace it.

Replace with a custom function, so that defer print(1, 2, 3) turns
into

        defer func(a1, a2, a3 int) {
                print(a1, a2, a3)
        }(1, 2, 3)

(and then the print becomes three different printints as usual).

Fixes #8614.

I removed support for jumping between functions years ago,
as part of doing the instruction layout for each function separately.

Given that, it makes sense to treat labels as function-scoped.
This lets each function have its own 'loop' label, for example.

Makes the assembly much cleaner and removes the last
reason anyone would reach for the 123(PC) form instead.

Note that this is on the dev.power64 branch, but it changes all
the assemblers. The change will ship in Go 1.5 (perhaps after
being ported into the new assembler).

Came up as part of CL 167730043.

In CL 160670043 the write function was changed
so a zero-length write is now allowed. This leads
the ExampleWriter_Init test to fail.

The reason is that Plan 9 preserves message
boundaries, while the os library expects systems
that don't preserve them. We have to ignore
zero-length writes so they will never turn into EOF.

This issue was previously discussed in CL 7406046.

Power64 servers do not currently support sub-word size atomic
memory access, so atomicor8 uses word size atomic access.
However, previously atomicor8 made no attempt to align this
access, resulting in errors.  Fix this by aligning the pointer
to a word boundary and shifting the value appropriately.
Since atomicor8 is used in GC, add a test to runtime·check to
make sure this doesn't break in the future.

This also fixes an incorrect branch label, an incorrectly
sized argument move, and adds argument names to help go vet.

The "to" field was the penultimate argument to outgcode,
instead of the last argument, which swapped the third and
fourth operands.  The argument order was correct in a.y, so
just swap the meaning of the arguments in outgcode.  This
hadn't come up because we hadn't used these more obscure
operations in any hand-written assembly until now.

No easy way to test (would have to actually trigger some routing
events from kernel) but the code is clearly wrong as written.
If the header says there is a submessage, we need to at least
skip over its bytes, not just continue to the next iteration.

get -u now checks that remote repo paths match the
ones predicted by the import paths: if you are get -u'ing
rsc.io/pdf, it has to be checked out from the right location.
This is important in case the rsc.io/pdf redirect changes.

In some cases, people have good reasons to use
non-standard remote repos. Add -f flag to allow that.
The f can stand for force or fork, as you see fit.

Not a language change.

This is simply documenting the status quo which permits
builtin function names to be parenthesized in calls; e.g.,
both

        len(s)
and
        (((len)))(s)

are accepted by all compilers and go/types.

Changed the grammar by merging the details of BuiltinCall
with ordinary Calls. Also renamed the Call production to
Arguments which more clearly identifies that part of the
grammar and also matches better with its counterpart on
the declaration side (Parameters).

The fact that the first argument can be a type (for builtins)
or cannot be a type (for regular function calls) is expressed
in the prose, no need to make the grammar more complicated.

Fixes #9001.
