In linker, refuse to write conservative (array of pointers) as the
garbage collection type for any variable in the data/bss GC program.
In the linker, attach the Go type to an already-read C declaration
during dedup. This gives us Go types for C globals for free as long
as the cmd/dist-generated Go code contains the declaration.
(Most runtime C declarations have a corresponding Go declaration.
Both are bss declarations and so the linker dedups them.)
In cmd/dist, add a few more C files to the auto-Go-declaration list
in order to get Go type information for the C declarations into the linker.
In C compiler, mark all non-pointer-containing global declarations
and all string data as NOPTR. This allows them to exist in C files
without any corresponding Go declaration. Count C function pointers
as "non-pointer-containing", since we have no heap-allocated C functions.
In runtime, add NOPTR to the remaining pointer-containing declarations,
none of which refer to Go heap objects.
In runtime, also move os.Args and syscall.envs data into runtime-owned
variables. Otherwise, in programs that do not import os or syscall, the
runtime variables named os.Args and syscall.envs will be missing type
information.
I believe that this CL eliminates the final source of conservative GC scanning
in non-SWIG Go programs, and therefore...
Fixes#909.

In Go 1.3 the runtime called panicstring to report errors like
divide by zero or memory faults. Now we call panic (gopanic)
with pre-allocated error values. That new path is missing the
checking that panicstring did, so add it there.
The only call to panicstring left is in cnew, which is problematic
because if it fails, probably the heap is corrupt. In that case,
calling panicstring creates a new errorCString (no allocation there),
but then panic tries to print it, invoking errorCString.Error, which
does a string concatenation (allocating), which then dies.
Replace that one panicstring with a throw: cnew is for allocating
runtime data structures and should never ask for an inappropriate
amount of memory.
With panicstring gone, delete newErrorCString, errorCString.
While we're here, delete newErrorString, not called by anyone.
(It can't be: that would be C code calling Go code that might
block or grow the stack.)
Found while debugging a malloc corruption.
This resulted in 'panic during panic' instead of a more useful message.

Now it's two allocations. I don't see much downside to that,
since the two pieces were in different cache lines anyway.
Rename 'conservative' to 'cgo_conservative_type' and make
clear that _cgo_allocate is the only allowed user.
This depends on CL 141490043, which removes the other
use of conservative (in defer).

The C header files are the single point of truth:
every C enum constant Foo is available to Go as _Foo.
Remove or redirect duplicate Go declarations so they
cannot be out of sync.
Eventually we will need to put constants in Go, but for now having
them be out of sync with C is too risky. These predate the build
support for auto-generating Go constants from the C definitions.

I assumed they were the same when I wrote
cgocallback.go earlier today. Merge them
to eliminate confusion.
I can't tell what gomallocgc did before with
a nil type but without FlagNoScan.
I created a call like that in cgocallback.go
this morning, translating from a C file.
It was supposed to do what the C version did,
namely treat the block conservatively.
Now it will.

The code was already careful not to use malloc/free
for stack growth during calls to malloc.
Avoid them during calls to free too.

trying to find all the places where
spans might be recorded.
Free can cascade into complicated
span manipulations that move them
from list to list; the old code had the
possibility of accidentally processing
a span twice or jumping to a different
list, causing an infinite loop.
