cmd/go: always use --whole-archive for gccgo packages
This is a backport of https://golang.org/cl/16775.
This is, in effect, what the gc toolchain does. It fixes cases where Go
code refers to a C global variable; without this, if the global variable
was the only thing visible in the C code, the generated cgo file might
not get pulled in from the archive, leaving the Go variable
uninitialized.
This was reported against gccgo as https://gcc.gnu.org/PR68255 .

When linking complex packages that use both internal and external tests as well as many dependencies it is critical that the link order be external test package, internal test package, everything else.
This change is a back (forward?) port of the same change that canonical have been maintaining on their fork of the go tool for gccgo. Now that gccgo uses the go tool from upstream, this patch should be applied both to the gofrontend and golang/go repos.

cmd: Fix dependencies for 'go get' with gccgo
Problem described in GCC BZ 65462.
Generate the list of the standard GO package names based on what was built into libgo in the libgo Makefile.
Change the var name from reqPkgSrc to reqStdPkgSrc to clarify it only affects standard GO packages.
Skip the attempted loading of a package only if it is a standard GO package and the flag is set indicating its source is not required to be available.
This requires a corresponding change to gotools to build and link in the new file containing the list of standard GO package names that was generated by the libgo Makefile.

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.

Don't look it up on PATH. This lets a go tool built as part
of a GCC build use the gccgo from the same build.
Also pass -c when assembling a .s file with gccgo.
