The gc toolchain decides whether a goroutine is a system goroutine by
comparing startpc to a list of saved special PCs. In gccgo that
approach does not work as startpc is often a thunk that invokes the
real function with arguments, so the thunk address never matches the
saved special PCs.
This patch fixes gccgo's understanding of system goroutines. Since
there are only a limited number of them, we simply change each one to
mark itself as special.
This fixes stack dumps and functions like runtime.NumGoroutine to
behave more like gc. It also fixes the goprint test in the gc
testsuite.

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.

Fix handling of function values for -fgo-c-header to generate FuncVal*,
not simply FuncVal.
While we're here change runtime.nanotime to use clock_gettime with
CLOCK_MONOTONIC, rather than gettimeofday. This is what the gc library
does. It provides nanosecond precision and a monotonic clock.

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.
