The actual stack unwind code is still in C, but the rest of the code,
notably all the memory allocation, is now in Go. The names are changed
to the names used in the Go 1.7 runtime, but the code is necessarily
somewhat different.
The __go_makefunc_can_recover function is dropped, as the uses of it
were removed in https://golang.org/cl/198770044.

I started to copy the Go 1.7 interface code, but the gc and gccgo
representations of interfaces are too different. So instead I rewrote
the gccgo interface code from C to Go. The code is largely the same as
it was, but the names are more like those used in the gc runtime.
I also copied over the string comparison functions, and tweaked the
compiler to use eqstring when comparing strings for equality.

While we're at it, update the runtime/debug package, and start running
its testsuite by default. I'm not sure why runtime/debug was not
previously updated to 1.7. Doing that led me to fix some minor aspects
of runtime.Stack and the C function runtime/debug.readGCStats.

This replaces mem.go and the C runtime_ReadMemStats function with the Go
1.7 mstats.go.
The GCStats code is commented out for now. The corresponding gccgo code
is in runtime/mgc0.c.
The variables memstats and worldsema are shared between the Go code and
the C code, but are not exported. To make this work, add temporary
accessor functions acquireWorldsema, releaseWorldsema, getMstats (the
latter known as mstats in the C code).
Check the preemptoff field of m when allocating and when considering
whether to start a GC. This works with the new stopTheWorld and
startTheWorld functions in Go, which are essentially the Go 1.7
versions.
Change the compiler to stack allocate closures when compiling the
runtime package. Within the runtime packages closures do not escape.
This is similar to what the gc compiler does, except that the gc
compiler, when compiling the runtime package, gives an error if escape
analysis shows that a closure does escape. I added this here because
the Go version of ReadMemStats calls systemstack with a closure, and
having that allocate memory was causing some tests that measure memory
allocations to fail.

Change the compiler to use the new routines. Drop the separation of
small and large values when sending on a channel. Allocate the select
struct on the stack. Remove the old C implementation of channels. Adjust
the garbage collector for the new data structure.
Bring in part of the tracing code, enough for the channel code to call.
Bump the permitted number of allocations in one of the tests in
context_test.go. The difference is that now receiving from a channel
allocates a sudog, which the C code used to simply put on the
stack. This will be somewhat better when we port proc.go.

Use the new -fgo-c-header option to build a header file for the Go
runtime code in libgo/go/runtime, and use the new header file in the C
runtime code in libgo/runtime. This will ensure that the Go code and C
code share the same data structures as we convert the runtime from C to
Go.
The new file libgo/go/runtime/runtime2.go is copied from the Go 1.7
release, and then edited to remove unnecessary data structures and
modify others for use with libgo.
The new file libgo/go/runtime/mcache.go is an initial version of the
same files in the Go 1.7 release, and will be replaced by the Go 1.7
file when we convert to the new memory allocator.
The new file libgo/go/runtime/type.go describes the gccgo version of the
reflection data structures, and replaces the Go 1.7 runtime file which
describes the gc version of those structures.
Using the new header file means changing a number of struct fields to
use Go naming conventions (that is, no underscores) and to rename
constants to have a leading underscore so that they are not exported
from the Go package. These names were updated in the C code.
The C code was also changed to drop the thread-local variable m, as was
done some time ago in the gc sources. Now the m field is always
accessed using g->m, where g is the single remaining thread-local
variable. This in turn required some adjustments to set g->m correctly
in all cases.
Also pass the new -fgo-compiling-runtime option when compiling the
runtime package, although that option doesn't do anything yet.
