Three optimizations: First, special-case power of two bases
that partion a Word(), bases 2, 4, 16, and 256. These can
be moved directly from internal Word() storage to the output
without multiprecision operations. Next, same approach for
the other power-of-two bases, 8, 32, 64, and 128. These
don't fill a Word() evenly, so special handling is needed
for those cases where input spans the high-bits of one Word
and the low bis of the next one.  Finally, implement the
general case for others bases in 2 <= base <= 256 using
superbases, the largest power of base representable in a
Word(). For base ten, this is 9 digits and a superbase of
10^9 for 32-bit Words and 19 digits and 10^19 for 64-bit
compiles. This way we do just 1/9th or 1/19th of the expensive
multiprecision divisions, unpacking superdigits using fast
native machine arithmetic. The resulting code runs 7x to
800x the speed of the previous approach, depending on the
length of the number to be converted--longer is relatively
faster.

Also, extended the tests and benchmarks for string to nat
(scan()) and nat to string (string()) functions. A further
enhancement awaits the next CL to make general cases about
7x faster for long cases.

I started looking at this code because the nm in GNU
binutils was ignoring the first symbol in the .symtab
section.  Apparently, the System V ABI reserves the
first entry and requires all fields inside to be set
to zero.

The list of changes is as follows:

  · reserve the first symbol entry (as noted above)
  · fix the section indices for .data and .bss symbols
  · factor out common code for Elf32 and Elf64
  · remove the special case for elfsymo in [568]l/asm.c:/^asmb
  · add the "etext" symbol in 6l
  · add static symbols

add QuoteToASCII.
The Quote and QuoteRune functions now let printable
runes (as defined by unicode.IsPrint) through.  When
true 7-bit clean stuff is necessary, there are now two
new functions: QuoteToASCII and QuoteRuneToASCII.

Printf("%q") uses Quote. To get the old behavior, it
will now be necessary to say
        Printf("%s", strconv.QuoteToASCII(s))
but that should rarely be necessary.

This change moves a number of common PKIX structures into
crypto/x509/pkix, from where x509, and ocsp can reference
them, saving duplication. It also removes x509/crl and merges it into
x509 and x509/pkix.

x509 is changed to take advantage of the big.Int support that now
exists in asn1. Because of this, the public/private key pair in
http/httptest/server.go had to be updated because it was serialised
with an old version of the code that didn't zero pad ASN.1 INTEGERs.

is problematic because the liveness range for
autotmp_0000 (0006-0009) is nested completely
inside a span where BX holds a live value (0003-0015).
Because the register allocator only looks at 0006-0009
to see which registers are used, it misses the fact that
BX is unavailable and uses it anyway.

The n->pun = anyregalloc() check in tempname is
a workaround for this bug, but I hit it again because
I did the tempname call before allocating BX, even
though I then used the temporary after storing in BX.
This should fix the real bug, and then we can remove
the workaround in tempname.

The code creates pseudo-variables for each register
and includes that information in the liveness propagation.
Then the regu fields can be populated using that more
complete information.  With that approach, BX is marked
as in use on every line in the whole span 0003-0015,
so that the decision about autotmp_0000
(using only 0006-0009) still has all the information
it needs.

This is not specific to the 386, but it only happens in
generated code of the form

        load R1
        ...
        load var into R2
        ...
        store R2 back into var
        ...
        use R1

and for the most part the other compilers generate
the loads for a given compiled line before any of
the stores.  Even so, this may not be the case everywhere,
so the change is worth making in all three.
