Compiler changes:
* Change map assignment to use mapassign and assign value directly.
* Change string iteration to use decoderune, faster for ASCII strings.
* Change makeslice to take int, and use makeslice64 for larger values.
* Add new noverflow field to hmap struct used for maps.
Unresolved problems, to be fixed later:
* Commented out test in go/types/sizes_test.go that doesn't compile.
* Commented out reflect.TestStructOf test for padding after zero-sized field.

I looked at a diff of proc.go between Go 1.7 and gccgo, and copied
over all the easy stuff.

While we're at it, update the runtime/debug package, and start running
its testsuite by default. I'm not sure why runtime/debug was not
previously updated to 1.7. Doing that led me to fix some minor aspects
of runtime.Stack and the C function runtime/debug.readGCStats.

Also create a gccgo version of some of the traceback code in
traceback_gccgo.go, replacing some code currently in C.
This required modifying the compiler so that when compiling the runtime
package a slice expression does not cause a local array variable to
escape to the heap.

This upgrades all of libgo other than the runtime package to
the Go 1.4 release. In Go 1.4 much of the runtime was
rewritten into Go. Merging that code will take more time and
will not change the API, so I'm putting it off for now.
There are a few runtime changes anyhow, to accomodate other
packages that rely on minor modifications to the runtime
support.
The compiler changes slightly to add a one-bit flag to each
type descriptor kind that is stored directly in an interface,
which for gccgo is currently only pointer types. Another
one-bit flag (gcprog) is reserved because it is used by the gc
compiler, but gccgo does not currently use it.
There is another error check in the compiler since I ran
across it during testing.
gotools/:
* Makefile.am (go_cmd_go_files): Sort entries. Add generate.go.
* Makefile.in: Rebuild.
