This adds Uint64 methods to Rand and rngSource.
Rand.Uint64 uses Source.Uint64 directly if it is present.
rngSource.Uint64 provides access to all 64 bits generated by the
underlying ALFG. To ensure high seed quality a 64th bit has been added
to all elements of the array of "cooked" random numbers that are used
for seeding. gen_cooked.go generates both the 63 bit and 64 bit array.

1.7 introduced a significant regression compared to 1.6:
SqrtIndirect-4 2.32ns ± 0% 7.86ns ± 0% +238.79% (p=0.000 n=20+18)
This is caused by sqrtsd preserving upper part of destination register.
Which introduces dependency on previous value of X0.
In 1.6 benchmark loop didn't use X0 immediately after call:
callq *%rbx
movsd 0x8(%rsp),%xmm2
movsd 0x20(%rsp),%xmm1
addsd %xmm2,%xmm1
mov 0x18(%rsp),%rax
inc %rax
jmp loop
In 1.7 however xmm0 is used just after call:
callq *%rbx
mov 0x10(%rsp),%rcx
lea 0x1(%rcx),%rax
movsd 0x8(%rsp),%xmm0
movsd 0x18(%rsp),%xmm1
I've verified that this is caused by dependency, by inserting
XORPS X0,X0 in the beginning of math.Sqrt, which puts performance back on 1.6 level.
Splitting SQRTSD mem,reg into:
MOVSD mem,reg
SQRTSD reg,reg
Removes dependency, because MOVSD (load version)
doesn't need to preserve upper part of a register.
And reg,reg operation is solved by renamer in CPU.
As a result of this change regression is gone:
SqrtIndirect-4 7.86ns ± 0% 2.33ns ± 0% -70.36% (p=0.000 n=18+17)
This also removes old Sqrt benchmarks, in favor of benchmarks measuring latency.
Only SqrtIndirect is kept, to show impact of this patch.

Previously, a 0 mantissa was special-cased during big.Float
parsing, but not during big.Rat parsing. This meant that a value
like 0e9999999999 would parse successfully in big.Float.SetString,
but would hang in big.Rat.SetString. This discrepancy became an
issue in https://golang.org/src/go/constant/value.go?#L250,
where the big.Float would report an exponent of 0, so
big.Rat.SetString would be used and would subsequently hang.
A Go Playground example of this is https://play.golang.org/p/3fy28eUJuF
The solution is to special-case a zero mantissa during big.Rat
parsing as well, so that neither big.Rat nor big.Float will hang when
parsing a value with 0 mantissa but a large exponent.

Follow-up to https://golang.org/cl/21755.
This turned out to be a bit more than just a few nits
as originally expected in that CL.
1) The actual mantissa may be shorter than required for the
given precision (because of trailing 0's): no need to
allocate space for it (and transmit 0's). This can save
a lot of space when the precision is high: E.g., for
prec == 1000, 16 words or 128 bytes are required at the
most, but if the actual number is short, it may be much
less (for the test cases present, it's significantly less).
2) The actual mantissa may be longer than the number of
words required for the given precision: make sure to
not overflow when encoding in bytes.
3) Add more documentation.
4) Add more tests.

Also, testing uses "close" instead of "veryclose" because 386's

Exp(vf[i]*10)-1 on 386, whereas with the portable implementation

This is not nearly as helpful, but at least it's truthful. A number of

Current result of DecimalConversion benchmark (for future reference):
BenchmarkDecimalConversion-8 10000 204770 ns/op
Measured on Mac Mini (late 2012) running OS X 10.10.5,
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3.
Also: Removed comment suggesting to implement decimal by representing
digits as numbers 0..9 rather than ASCII chars '0'..'9' to avoid
repeated +/-'0' operations. Tried and it appears (per above benchmark)
that the +/-'0' operations are neglibile but the addition conversion
passes around it are not and that it makes things significantly slower.

Instead of computing the final adjustment factor as a power of 10,
it's more efficient to split 10**e into 2**e * 5**e . Powers of 2
are trivially added to the Float exponent, and powers of 5 are
smaller and thus faster to compute.
Also, use a table of uint64 values rather than float64 values for
initial power value. uint64 values appear to be faster to convert
to Floats (useful for small exponents).

This is a fairly significant _internal_ representation change. Instead
of encoding 0, finite, infinite, and NaN values with special mantissa
and exponent values, a new (1 byte) 'form' field is used (without making
the Float struct bigger). The form field permits simpler and faster
case distinctions. As a side benefit, for zero and non-finite floats,
fewer fields need to be set. Also, the exponent range is not the full
int32 range (in the old format, infExp and nanExp were used to represent
Inf and NaN values and tests for those values sometimes didn't test
for the empty mantissa, so the range was reduced by 2 values).
The correspondence between the old and new fields is as follows.
Old representation:
x neg mant exp
---------------------------------------------------------------
+/-0 sign empty 0
0 < |x| < +Inf sign mantissa exponent
+/-Inf sign empty infExp
NaN false empty nanExp
New representation (- stands for ignored fields):
x neg mant exp form
---------------------------------------------------------------
+/-0 sign - - zero
0 < |x| < +Inf sign mantissa exponent finite
+/-Inf sign - - inf
NaN - - - nan

Implemented:
- +, -, *, /, and some unary ops
- all rounding modes
- basic conversions
- string to float conversion
- tests
Missing:
- float to string conversion, formatting
- handling of +/-0 and +/-inf (under- and overflow)
- various TODOs and cleanups
With precision set to 24 or 53, the results match
float32 or float64 operations exactly (excluding
NaNs and denormalized numbers which will not be
supported).

The comment says to use (y-1), but then we did add(y.abs, natOne). We meant sub.

Fix include paths that got moved in the great pkg/ rename. Add
missing runtime/arch_* files for power64. Port changes that
happened on default since branching to
runtime/{asm,atomic,sys_linux}_power64x.s (precise stacks,
calling convention change, various new and deleted functions.
Port struct renaming and fix some bugs in
runtime/defs_linux_power64.h.

This brings dev.power64 up-to-date with the current tip of
default. go_bootstrap is still panicking with a bad defer
when initializing the runtime (even on amd64).

The inverse is defined whenever the element and the
modulus are relatively prime. The code already handles
this situation, but the spec does not.
Test that it does indeed work.

The documentation states that Exp(x, y, m)
computes x**y mod |m| for m != nil && m > 0.
In math.big, Mod is the Euclidean modulus,
which is always >= 0.

The extra-clever code in Sincos is trying to do
if v&2 == 0 {
mask = 0xffffffffffffffff
} else {
mask = 0
}
It does this by turning v&2 into a float64 X0 and then using
MOVSD $0.0, X3
CMPSD X0, X3, 0
That CMPSD is defined to behave like:
if X0 == X3 {
X3 = 0xffffffffffffffff
} else {
X3 = 0
}
which gives the desired mask in X3. The goal in using the
CMPSD was to avoid a conditional branch.
This code fails when called from a PortAudio callback.
In particular, the failure behavior is exactly as if the
CMPSD always chose the 'true' execution.
Notice that the comparison X0 == X3 is comparing as
floating point values the 64-bit pattern v&2 and the actual
floating point value zero. The only possible values for v&2
are 0x0000000000000000 (floating point zero)
and 0x0000000000000002 (floating point 1e-323, a denormal).
If they are both comparing equal to zero, I conclude that
in a PortAudio callback (whatever that means), the processor
is running in "denormals are zero" mode.
I confirmed this by placing the processor into that mode
and running the test case in the bug; it produces the
incorrect output reported in the bug.
In general, if a Go program changes the floating point math
modes to something other than what Go expects, the math
library is not going to work exactly as intended, so we might
be justified in not fixing this at all.
However, it seems reasonable that the client code might
have expected "denormals are zero" mode to only affect
actual processing of denormals. This code has produced
what is in effect a gratuitous denormal by being extra clever.
There is nothing about the computation being requested
that fundamentally requires a denormal.
It is also easy to do this computation in integer math instead:
mask = ((v&2)>>1)-1
Do that.
For the record, the other math tests that fail if you put the
processor in "denormals are zero" mode are the tests for
Frexp, Ilogb, Ldexp, Logb, Log2, and FloatMinMax, but all
fail processing denormal inputs. Sincos was the only function
for which that mode causes incorrect behavior on non-denormal inputs.
The existing tests check that the new assembly is correct.
There is no test for behavior in "denormals are zero" mode,
because I don't want to add assembly to change that.
Fixes#8623.
