As of July 2020, a fair amount of the new linker's live memory, and
runtime is spent generating pclntab. In an effort to streamline that
code, this change starts breaking up the generation of runtime.pclntab
into smaller chunks that can run later in a link. These changes are
described in an (as yet not widely distributed) document that lays out
an improved format. Largely the work consists of breaking up
runtime.pclntab into smaller pieces, stopping much of the data
rewriting, and getting runtime.pclntab into a form where we can reason
about its size and look to shrink it. This change is the first part of
that work -- just pulling out the header, and demonstrating where a
majority of that work will be.

Currently, TestPCLine manually invokes asm and link on its test data.
Once we introduce symbol ABIs this is going to become problematic
because the test program defines main.main and main.init in assembly
so they use ABI0, but the runtime expects to find them with the
internal ABI.
There are various ways we could solve this. This CL moves main.main
and main.init into Go code and switches to using "go build" to compile
and link the test binary. This has the added advantage of simplifying
this test.
For #27539.
