For a select statement with zero-, one-, or two-case with a
default case, we can generate simpler code instead of calling the
generic selectgo. A zero-case select is just blocking the
execution. A one-case select is mostly just executing the case. A
two-case select with a default case is a non-blocking send or
receive. We add these special cases for lowering a select
statement.

On AIX, a function has two symbols, a text symbol (with a leading dot)
and a data one (without it).
As the tests must be run only once, only the data symbol can be used to
retrieve the final go symbol. Therefore, all symbols beginning with a dot
are ignored by symtogo.

runtime.concatstring{2,3,4,5} are just wrappers of concatstrings.
These wrappers don't provide any benefit, at least in the C
calling convention we use, where passing arrays by value isn't an
efficient thing. Change it to always use concatstrings.
Also, the cap field of the slice passed to concatstrings is not
necessary. So change it to pass a pointer and a length directly,
which is more efficient than passing a slice header by value.

Currently, the compiler already generates common symbols for type
descriptors, so the type descriptors are unique. However, when a
type is created through reflection, it is not deduplicated with
compiler-generated types. As a consequence, we cannot assume type
descriptors are unique, and cannot use pointer equality to
compare them. Also, when constructing a reflect.Type, it has to
go through a canonicalization map, which introduces overhead to
reflect.TypeOf, and lock contentions in concurrent programs.
In order for the reflect package to deduplicate types with
compiler-created types, we register all the compiler-created type
descriptors at startup time. The reflect package, when it needs
to create a type, looks up the registry of compiler-created types
before creates a new one. There is no lock contention since the
registry is read-only after initialization.
This lets us get rid of the canonicalization map, and also makes
it possible to compare type descriptors with pointer equality.

When the runtime collects a stack trace to associate it with some
profiling event (mem alloc, mutex, etc) there is a skip count passed
to runtime.Callers (or equivalent) to skip some known count of frames
in order to get to the "interesting" frame corresponding to the
profile event. Now that the profiling mechanism uses lazy fixup (when
removing compiler artifacts like thunks, morestack calls etc), we also
need to move the frame skipping logic after the fixup, so as to insure
that the skip count isn't thrown off by these artifacts.

The gc compiler recognizes append(s, make([]T, n)...), and
generates code to directly zero the tail instead of allocating a
new slice and copying. This CL lets the Go frontend do basically
the same.
The difficulty is that at the point we handle append, there may
already be temporaries introduced (e.g. in order_evaluations),
which makes it hard to find the append-of-make pattern. The
compiler could "see through" the value of a temporary, but it is
only safe to do if the temporary is not assigned multiple times.
For this, we add tracking of assignments and uses for temporaries.
This also helps in optimizing non-escape slice make. We already
optimize non-escape slice make with constant len/cap to stack
allocation. But it failed to handle things like f(make([]T, n))
(where the slice doesn't escape and n is constant), because of
the temporary. With tracking of temporary assignments and uses,
it can handle this now as well.

Revise the gccgo version of memory/block/mutex profiling to reduce
runtime overhead. The main change is to collect raw stack traces while
the profile is on line, then post-process the stacks just prior to the
point where we are ready to use the final product. Memory profiling
(at a very low sampling rate) is enabled by default, and the overhead
of the symbolization / DWARF-reading from backtrace_full was slowing
things down relative to the main Go runtime.

A direct interface is an interface whose data word contains the
actual data value, instead of a pointer to it. The gc toolchain
creates a direct interface if the value is pointer shaped, that
includes pointers (including unsafe.Pointer), functions, channels,
maps, and structs and arrays containing a single pointer-shaped
field. In gccgo, we only do this for pointers. This CL unifies
direct interface types with gc. This reduces allocations when
converting such types to interfaces.
Our method functions used to always take pointer receivers, to
make interface calls easy. Now for direct interface types, their
value methods will take value receivers. For a pointer to those
types, when converted to interface, the interface data contains
the pointer. For that interface to call a value method, it will
need a wrapper method that dereference the pointer and invokes
the value method. The wrapper method, instead of the actual one,
is put into the itable of the pointer type.
In the runtime, adjust funcPC for the new layout of interfaces of
functions.

Previously, each time we do an interface conversion for which the
method table is not known at compile time, we allocate a new
method table.
This CL ports the mechanism of itab caching from the gc runtime,
adapted to our itab representation and method finding mechanism.
With the cache, we reuse the same itab for the same (interface,
concrete) type pair. This reduces allocations in interface
conversions.
Unlike the gc runtime, we don't prepopulate the cache with
statically allocated itabs, as currently we don't have a way to
find them. This means we don't deduplicate run-time allocated
itabs with compile-time allocated ones. But that is not too bad
-- it is just a cache anyway.
As now itabs are never freed, it is also possible to drop the
write barrier for writing the first word of an interface header.
I'll leave this optimization for the future.

In the C calling convention, on AMD64, and probably a number of
other architectures, a 3-word struct argument is passed on stack.
This is less efficient than passing in three registers. Further,
this may affect the code generation in other part of the program,
even if the function is not actually called.
Slices are common in Go and append is a common slice operation,
which calls growslice in the growing path. To improve the code
generation, pass the slice header's three fields as separate
values, instead of a struct, to growslice.
The drawback is that this makes the runtime implementation
slightly diverges from the gc runtime.
