This ports https://golang.org/cl/227163 to the Go frontend.
This is a step toward moving up to the go1.15rc1 release.
Original CL description:
cmd/compile,runtime: pass only ptr and len to some runtime calls
Some runtime calls accept a slice, but only use ptr and len.
This change modifies most such routines to accept only ptr and len.
After this change, the only runtime calls that accept an unnecessary
cap arg are concatstrings and slicerunetostring.
Neither is particularly common, and both are complicated to modify.
Negligible compiler performance impact. Shrinks binaries a little.
There are only a few regressions; the one I investigated was
due to register allocation fluctuation.
Passes 'go test -race std cmd', modulo golang/go#38265 and golang/go#38266.
Wow, does that take a long time to run.

In libgo CacheLinePadSize is defined by the generated file cpugen.go.
Keep cpu_riscv64.go around, even though it is now empty, so that
we will pick up changes to it in future merges.

Previously if the only names defined by _test packages were examples,
the gotest script would emit an incorrect _testmain.go file.
I worked around that by marking the example_test.go files +build ignored.
This CL changes the gotest script to handle this case correctly,
and removes the now-unnecessary build tags.

Use specific panic functions instead, which are mostly already in the
runtime package.
Also correct "defer nil" to panic when we execute the defer, rather
than throw when we queue it.

Right now we generate hash functions for all types, just in case they
are used as map keys. That's a lot of wasted effort and binary size
for types which will never be used as a map key. Instead, generate
hash functions only for types that we know are map keys.
Just doing that is a bit too simple, since maps with an interface type
as a key might have to hash any concrete key type that implements that
interface. So for that case, implement hashing of such types at
runtime (instead of with generated code). It will be slower, but only
for maps with interface types as keys, and maybe only a bit slower as
the aeshash time probably dominates the dispatch time.
Reorg where we keep the equals and hash functions. Move the hash function
from the key type to the map type, saving a field in every non-map type.
That leaves only one function in the alg structure, so get rid of that and
just keep the equal function in the type descriptor itself.
While we're here, reorganize the rtype struct to more closely match
the gc version.
This is the gofrontend version of https://golang.org/cl/191198.

This only matters on systems that pass a struct with a single pointer
field differently than passing a single pointer. I noticed it on
32-bit PPC, where the reflect package TestDirectIfaceMethod failed.

reflect: promote integer closure return to full word
The libffi library expects an integer return type to be promoted to a
full word. Implement that when returning from a closure written in Go.
This only matters on big-endian systems when returning an integer smaller
than the pointer size, which is why we didn't notice it until now.
Fixes https://gcc.gnu.org/PR91781.

Backport of https://golang.org/cl/194440. Original description:
If an embedded field refers to a type via a pointer, the parser needs
to know the name of the embedded field. It is possible that the
pointer type is not yet resolved. This CL fixes the parser to handle
that case by setting the pointer element type to the unresolved named
type while the pointer is being resolved.

The gc compiler has started permitting go:linkname comments with a
single argument to mean that a function should be externally visible

Remove a couple of unnecessary go:linkname comments on declarations.
