Compiler changes:
* Change map assignment to use mapassign and assign value directly.
* Change string iteration to use decoderune, faster for ASCII strings.
* Change makeslice to take int, and use makeslice64 for larger values.
* Add new noverflow field to hmap struct used for maps.
Unresolved problems, to be fixed later:
* Commented out test in go/types/sizes_test.go that doesn't compile.
* Commented out reflect.TestStructOf test for padding after zero-sized field.

This revision was committed January 7, 2014. The next
revision deleted runtime/mfinal.c. That will be done in a
subsequent merge.
This merge changes type descriptors to add a zero field,
pointing to a zero value for that type. This is implemented
as a common variable.
* go-gcc.cc (Gcc_backend::implicit_variable): Add is_common and
alignment parameters. Permit init parameter to be NULL.
