It implements parsing of the header and symbol table for both
32-bit and 64-bit Plan 9 binaries. The nm tool was updated to
use this package.

When printing the size, we often want to sort on that key.
Because it's used when looking for large things, make the
sort go from largest to smallest.
Perfect recreation of CL 45150044, which was lost to some blunder.

The immediate goal is to support the new object file format,
which libmach (nm's support library) does not understand.
Rather than add code to libmach or reengineer liblink to
support this new use, just write it in Go.
The C version of nm reads the Plan 9 symbol table stored in
Go binaries, now otherwise unused.
This reimplementation uses the standard symbol table for
the corresponding file format instead, bringing us one step
closer to removing the Plan 9 symbol table from Go binaries.
Tell cmd/dist not to build cmd/nm anymore.
Tell cmd/go to install cmd/nm in the tool directory.
