Change from using __go_set_closure to passing the closure
value in the static chain field. Uses new backend support for
setting the closure chain in a call from C via
__builtin_call_with_static_chain. Uses new support in libffi
for Go closures.
The old architecture specific support for reflect.MakeFunc is
removed, replaced by the libffi support.
All work done by Richard Henderson.
* go-gcc.cc (Gcc_backend::call_expression): Add chain_expr argument.
(Gcc_backend::static_chain_variable): New method.

This upgrades all of libgo other than the runtime package to
the Go 1.4 release. In Go 1.4 much of the runtime was
rewritten into Go. Merging that code will take more time and
will not change the API, so I'm putting it off for now.
There are a few runtime changes anyhow, to accomodate other
packages that rely on minor modifications to the runtime
support.
The compiler changes slightly to add a one-bit flag to each
type descriptor kind that is stored directly in an interface,
which for gccgo is currently only pointer types. Another
one-bit flag (gcprog) is reserved because it is used by the gc
compiler, but gccgo does not currently use it.
There is another error check in the compiler since I ran
across it during testing.
gotools/:
* Makefile.am (go_cmd_go_files): Sort entries. Add generate.go.
* Makefile.in: Rebuild.

This changes the compiler and runtime to not pass a closure
value as the last argument, but to instead pass it via
__go_set_closure and retrieve it via __go_get_closure. This
eliminates the need for function descriptor wrapper functions.
It will make it possible to retrieve the closure value in a
reflect.MakeFunc function.

This changes the representation of a Go value of function type
from being a pointer to function code (like a C function
pointer) to being a pointer to a struct. The first field of
the struct points to the function code. The remaining fields,
if any, are the addresses of variables referenced in enclosing
functions. For each call to a function, the address of the
function descriptor is passed as the last argument.
This lets us avoid generating trampolines, and removes the use
of writable/executable sections of the heap.
