We create appropriate ELF files automatically based on GOOS. There's
no point in supporting -H elf flag, particularly since we need to emit
different flavors of ELF depending on GOOS anyway.
If that weren't reason enough, -H elf appears to be broken since at
least Go 1.4. At least I wasn't able to find a way to make use of it.
As best I can tell digging through commit history, -H elf is just an
artifact leftover from Plan 9's 6l linker.

No performance improvement, but possibly more readable.

The tree's pretty inconsistent about single space vs double space
after a period in documentation. Make it consistently a single space,
per earlier decisions. This means contributors won't be confused by
misleading precedence.

The GNU binutils recently picked up support for new 386/amd64
relocations. Add support for them in the Go linker when doing an
internal link.
The 386 relocation R_386_GOT32X was proposed in
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ia32-abi/GbJJskkid4I . It can
be treated as identical to the R_386_GOT32 relocation.
The amd64 relocations R_X86_64_GOTPCRELX and R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX were
proposed in
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/x86-64-abi/n9AWHogmVY0 . They
can both be treated as identical to the R_X86_64_GOTPCREL relocation.
The purpose of the new relocations is to permit additional linker
relaxations in some cases. We do not attempt to support those cases.
While we're at it, remove the unused and in some cases out of date
_COUNT names from ld/elf.go.
Fixes#13114.

When dynamically linking, we want references to functions defined
in this module to always be to the function object, not to the
PLT. We force this by writing an additional local symbol for
every global function symbol and making all relocations against
the global symbol refer to this local symbol instead. This is
approximately equivalent to the ELF linker -Bsymbolic-functions
option, but that is buggy on several platforms.

This was always a bit confusing, but it also fixes a problem: runtime.firstmoduledata
was always overridden in the linker to be a local symbol but cmd/internal/obj had
already rewritten code accessing it to access it via the GOT. This works on amd64, but
causes link failures on other platforms (e.g. arm64).

The LSym.Section and Section.Elfsect fields were defined as interface{} but
always had the same concrete type (*Section and *ElfShdr respectively) so just
define them with that type. Reduces size of LSym from 328 to 320 bytes and
reduces best-of-10 maxresident size from 246028k to 238036k when linking
libstd.so.

Trivial merging of 5g, 6g, ... into go tool compile,
and similarlly 5l, 6l, ... into go tool link.
The files compile/main.go and link/main.go are new.
Everything else in those directories is a move followed by
change of imports and package name.
This CL breaks the build. Manual fixups are in the next CL.
See golang-dev thread titled "go tool compile, etc" for background.
