Original CL by rsc (11916045):

The motivation for disallowing them was RFC 4180 saying
"The last field in the record must not be followed by a comma."
I believe this is an admonition to CSV generators, not readers.
When reading, anything followed by a comma is not the last field.

Fixes #5892.

Pseudo-instructions MOVBS and MOVHS are used to clarify
the semantics of short integers vs. registers:
 * 8-bit and 16-bit values in registers are assumed to always
   be zero-extended or sign-extended depending on their type.
 * MOVB is truncation or move of an already extended value
   between registers.
 * MOVBU enforces zero-extension at the destination (register).
 * MOVBS enforces sign-extension at the destination (register).
And similarly for MOVH/MOVS/MOVHU.

The linker is adapted to assemble MOVB and MOVH to an ordinary
mov. Also a peephole pass in 5g that aims at eliminating
redundant zero/sign extensions is improved.

Unlike the existing net package own pollster, runtime-integrated
network pollster on BSD variants, actually kqueue, requires a socket
that has beed passed to syscall.Listen previously for a stream
listener.

This CL separates pollDesc.Init of Unix network pollster from newFD
to avoid any breakages in the transition from Unix network pollster
to runtime-integrated pollster. Upcoming CLs will rearrange the call
order of pollster and syscall functions like the following;

- For dialers that open active connections, pollDesc.Init will be
  called in between syscall.Bind and syscall.Connect.

- For stream listeners that open passive stream connections,
  pollDesc.Init will be called just after syscall.Listen.

- For datagram listeners that open datagram connections,
  pollDesc.Init will be called just after syscall.Bind.

This is in preparation for runtime-integrated network pollster for BSD
variants.

Previously, all word aligned locations in the local variables
area were scanned as conservative roots.  With this change, a
bitmap is generated describing the locations of pointer values
in local variables.

With this change the argument bitmap information has been
changed to only store information about arguments.  The locals
member, has been removed.  In its place, the bitmap data for
local variables is now used to store the size of locals.  If
the size is negative, the magnitude indicates the size of the
local variables area.
