To allow these types as map keys, we must fill in
equal and hash functions in their algorithm tables.
Structs or arrays that are "just memory", like [2]int,
can and do continue to use the AMEM algorithm.
Structs or arrays that contain special values like
strings or interface values use generated functions
for both equal and hash.
The runtime helper func runtime.equal(t, x, y) bool handles
the general equality case for x == y and calls out to
the equal implementation in the algorithm table.
For short values (<= 4 struct fields or array elements),
the sequence of elementwise comparisons is inlined
instead of calling runtime.equal.

Equality on structs will require arbitrary code for type equality,
so change algorithm in type data from uint8 to table pointer.
In the process, trim top-level map structure from
104/80 bytes (64-bit/32-bit) to 24/12.
Equality on structs will require being able to call code generated
by the Go compiler, and C code has no way to access Go return
values, so change the hash and equal algorithm functions to take
a pointer to a result instead of returning the result.

This CL grew the archive file name length from 16 to 64:

Back then, every x.go file in a package became an x.6 file
in the archive. It was important to be able to allow the
use of long Go source file names, hence the increase in size.
Today, all Go source files compile into a single _go_.6 file
regardless of their names, so the archive file name length
no longer needs to be long. The longer name causes some
problems on Plan 9, where the native archive format is the
same but with 16-byte names, so revert back to 16.

Move string table to the end of the __LINKEDIT segment.
This change allows Apple's codesign(1) utility to successfully sign
Go binaries, as long as they don't contain DWARF data (-w flag to
8l/6l). This is because codesign(1) expects the string table to be
the last part of the file.

The Windows signtool.exe thinks our binaries are 'invalid
Win32 programs' unless the PE linker version field is 3.0
or greater.
This minor change makes it possible to successfully sign
gc-built binaries on Windows.

The map implementation was using the C idiom of using
a pointer just past the end of its table as a limit pointer.
Unfortunately, the garbage collector sees that pointer as
pointing at the block adjacent to the map table, pinning
in memory a block that would otherwise be freed.
Fix by making limit pointer point at last valid entry, not
just past it.

The Go version has 64 character long section names; originally,
in Plan 9, the limit was 16. To provide compatibility, this
change allows the input length to be either the target length
or the earlier option. The section name is extended with spaces
where required.
This has been tested to work without regressions in the
Go environment, testing the older alternative has not been
possible yet.

The EXTERN lines in elf.h already define these.
That's not a problem for most C compilers, but
apparently it is for some copies of the OS X linker.

The dynamic ELF sections were pointing to the proper data,
but that data was already owned by the rodata and text sections.
Some ELF references explicitly prohibit multiple sections from
owning the same data, and strip behaves accordingly.
The data for these sections was moved out and their ranges are
now owned by their respective sections. This change makes strip
happy both with and without -s being provided at link time.
A test was added in debug/elf to ensure there are no regressions
on this area in the future.
Fixes#1242.
Fixes#2022.

The gosymtab and gopclntab sections were pointing to the proper
data, but that data was already owned by the rodata section.
Some ELF references explicitly prohibit multiple sections from
owning the same data, and strip behaves accordingly.
The data for these sections was moved to after rodata, and the
gosymtab and gopclntab sections now own their respective ranges.
This change makes strip happy both with and without -s being
provided at link time. Note that it won't remove these sections
because they are still allocated, and that's by design since
they are necessary at runtime for generating proper backtraces
and similar introspection operations.
Unlike the previous behavior, -s will now maintain zero-sized
gosymtab and gopclntab sections. This makes the implementation
slightly cleaner.
Fixes#1242.

This prevents ld from generating zeroed symtab entries for
sections that aren't going to be generated because dynamic
linkage has been disabled (-d was used or no dynamic libs
were seen). Even though they were not explicitly added by
doelf, the section creation process was making them
reachable again.
The windows head is being disconsidered for this because
apparently it's not taking into account debug['d'].
This makes elflint 0.1% happier.
