For consistency with conversions that look like function calls,
conversions that don't look like function calls now allow an
optional trailing comma.

That is, int(x,) has always been syntactically valid.
Now []int(x,) is valid too.

The old version was using go/ast's CommentGroup.Text method,
but that method drops leading blank lines from the result, so that
if the comment looked like one of

//
// syntax error
import "C"

/*
syntax error
*/
import "C"

then the line numbers for the syntax error would be off by the
number of leading blank lines (1 in each of the above cases).

The new text extractor preserves blank lines.

A step toward a fix for issue 4069.

To allow linking with arbitrary host object files, add a linker mode
that can generate a host object file instead of an executable.
Then the host linker can be invoked to generate the final executable.

This CL adds a new -hostobj flag that instructs the linker to write
a host object file instead of an executable.

That is, this works:

        go tool 6g x.go
        go tool 6l -hostobj -o x.o x.6
        ld -e _rt0_amd64_linux x.o
        ./a.out

as does:

        go tool 8g x.go
        go tool 8l -hostld ignored -o x.o x.8
        ld -m elf_i386 -e _rt0_386_linux x.o
        ./a.out

Because 5l was never updated to use the standard relocation scheme,
it will take more work to get this working on ARM.

This is a checkpoint of the basic functionality. It does not work
with cgo yet, and cgo is the main reason for the change.
The command-line interface will likely change too.
The gc linker has other information that needs to be returned to
the caller for use when invoking the host linker besides the single
object file.

This is a backwards compatible API change that fixes broken code.

In Go 1.0, ReadFull(r, buf) could return either len(buf), nil or len(buf), non-nil.
Most code expects only the former, so do that and document the guarantee.

Code that was correct before is still correct.
Code that was incorrect before, by assuming the guarantee, is now correct too.

The same applies to ReadAtLeast.
