As we move toward the Go 1.7 garbage collector, it's essential that all
allocation of values that can contain Go pointers be done using the
correct type descriptor. That is simplest if we do all such allocation
in Go code. This rewrites the code that converts from a Go type to a
libffi CIF into Go.

reflect: Allocate space for FFI functions returning a zero-sized type.
The libffi library does not understand zero-sized types. We represent
them as a struct with a single field of type void. If such a type is
returned from a function, libffi will copy 1 byte of data. Allocate
space for that byte, although we won't use it.
Fixes https://gcc.gnu.org/PR68496.

Change from using __go_set_closure to passing the closure
value in the static chain field. Uses new backend support for
setting the closure chain in a call from C via
__builtin_call_with_static_chain. Uses new support in libffi
for Go closures.
The old architecture specific support for reflect.MakeFunc is
removed, replaced by the libffi support.
All work done by Richard Henderson.
* go-gcc.cc (Gcc_backend::call_expression): Add chain_expr argument.
(Gcc_backend::static_chain_variable): New method.

Fixes issue 6761
This simple change seems to work fine, slightly to my surprise.
This includes the tests I submitted to the main Go repository at

This changes the compiler and runtime to not pass a closure
value as the last argument, but to instead pass it via
__go_set_closure and retrieve it via __go_get_closure. This
eliminates the need for function descriptor wrapper functions.
It will make it possible to retrieve the closure value in a
reflect.MakeFunc function.

This changes the representation of a Go value of function type
from being a pointer to function code (like a C function
pointer) to being a pointer to a struct. The first field of
the struct points to the function code. The remaining fields,
if any, are the addresses of variables referenced in enclosing
functions. For each call to a function, the address of the
function descriptor is passed as the last argument.
This lets us avoid generating trampolines, and removes the use
of writable/executable sections of the heap.
