This code never got updated after the liblink shuffle.
Tested by hand that it works and respects GOROOT_FINAL.

The discussion in issue 6963 suggests that perhaps we should
just drop runtime-gdb.py entirely, but I am not convinced
that is true. It was in Go 1.2 and I don't see a reason not to
keep it in Go 1.3. The fact that binaries have not been emitting
the reference was just a missed detail in the liblink conversion,
not part of a grand plan.

Fixes #7506.

If we compile a generated file stored in a temporary
directory - let's say /tmp/12345/work/x.c - then by default
6c stores the full path and then the pcln table in the
final binary includes the full path. This makes repeated builds
(using different temporary directories) produce different
binaries, even if the inputs are the same.

In the old 'go tool pack', the P flag specified a prefix to remove
from all stored paths (if present), and cmd/go invoked
'go tool pack grcP $WORK' to remove references to the
temporary work directory.

We've changed the build to avoid pack as much as possible,
under the theory that instead of making pack convert from
.6 to .a, the tools should just write the .a directly and save a
round of I/O.

Instead of going back to invoking pack always, define a common
flag -trimpath in the assemblers, C compilers, and Go compilers,
implemented in liblink, and arrange for cmd/go to use the flag.
Then the object files being written out have the shortened paths
from the start.

While we are here, reimplement pcln support for GOROOT_FINAL.
A build in /tmp/go uses GOROOT=/tmp/go, but if GOROOT_FINAL=/usr/local/go
is set, then a source file named /tmp/go/x.go is recorded instead as
/usr/local/go/x.go. We use this so that we can prepare distributions
to be installed in /usr/local/go without actually working in that
directory. The conversion to liblink deleted all the old file name
handling code, including the GOROOT_FINAL translation.
Bring the GOROOT_FINAL translation back.

Before this CL, using GOROOT_FINAL=/goroot make.bash:

        g% strings $(which go) | grep -c $TMPDIR
        6
        g% strings $(which go) | grep -c $GOROOT
        793
        g%

After this CL:

        g% strings $(which go) | grep -c $TMPDIR
        0
        g% strings $(which go) | grep -c $GOROOT
        0
        g%

(The references to $TMPDIR tend to be cgo-generated source files.)

Adding the -trimpath flag to the assemblers required converting
them to the new Go-semantics flag parser. The text in go1.3.html
is copied and adjusted from go1.1.html, which is when we applied
that conversion to the compilers and linkers.

Fixes #6989.

When I did the original 386 ports on Linux and OS X, I chose to
define GS-relative expressions like 4(GS) as relative to the actual
thread-local storage base, which was usually GS but might not be
(it might be FS, or it might be a different constant offset from GS or FS).

The original scope was limited but since then the rewrites have
gotten out of control. Sometimes GS is rewritten, sometimes FS.
Some ports do other rewrites to enable shared libraries and
other linking. At no point in the code is it clear whether you are
looking at the real GS/FS or some synthesized thing that will be
rewritten. The code manipulating all these is duplicated in many
places.

The first step to fixing issue 7719 is to make the code intelligible
again.

This CL adds an explicit TLS pseudo-register to the 386 and amd64.
As a register, TLS refers to the thread-local storage base, and it
can only be loaded into another register:

        MOVQ TLS, AX

An offset from the thread-local storage base is written off(reg)(TLS*1).
Semantically it is off(reg), but the (TLS*1) annotation marks this as
indexing from the loaded TLS base. This emits a relocation so that
if the linker needs to adjust the offset, it can. For example:

        MOVQ TLS, AX
        MOVQ 8(AX)(TLS*1), CX // load m into CX

On systems that support direct access to the TLS memory, this
pair of instructions can be reduced to a direct TLS memory reference:

        MOVQ 8(TLS), CX // load m into CX

The 2-instruction and 1-instruction forms correspond roughly to
ELF TLS initial exec mode and ELF TLS local exec mode, respectively.

Liblink applies this rewrite on systems that support the 1-instruction form.
The decision is made using only the operating system (and probably
the -shared flag, eventually), not the link mode. If some link modes
on a particular operating system require the 2-instruction form,
then all builds for that operating system will use the 2-instruction
form, so that the link mode decision can be delayed to link time.

Obviously it is late to be making changes like this, but I despair
of correcting issue 7719 and issue 7164 without it. To make sure
I am not changing existing behavior, I built a "hello world" program
for every GOOS/GOARCH combination we have and then worked
to make sure that the rewrite generates exactly the same binaries,
byte for byte. There are a handful of TODOs in the code marking
kludges to get the byte-for-byte property, but at least now I can
explain exactly how each binary is handled.

The targets I tested this way are:

        darwin-386
        darwin-amd64
        dragonfly-386
        dragonfly-amd64
        freebsd-386
        freebsd-amd64
        freebsd-arm
        linux-386
        linux-amd64
        linux-arm
        nacl-386
        nacl-amd64p32
        netbsd-386
        netbsd-amd64
        openbsd-386
        openbsd-amd64
        plan9-386
        plan9-amd64
        solaris-amd64
        windows-386
        windows-amd64

There were four exceptions to the byte-for-byte goal:

windows-386 and windows-amd64 have a time stamp
at bytes 137 and 138 of the header.

darwin-386 and plan9-386 have five or six modified
bytes in the middle of the Go symbol table, caused by
editing comments in runtime/sys_{darwin,plan9}_386.s.

Currently Pool can cache up to 15 elements per P, and these elements are not accesible to other Ps.
If a Pool caches large objects, say 2MB, and GOMAXPROCS is set to a large value, say 32,
then the Pool can waste up to 960MB.
The new caching policy caches at most 1 per-P element, the rest is shared between Ps.

Get/Put performance is unchanged. Nested Get/Put performance is 57% worse.
However, overall scalability of nested Get/Put is significantly improved,
so the new policy starts winning under contention.
