We are planning to use indices for symbol references, instead of
symbol names. Here we assign indices to symbols defined in the
package being compiled, and propagate the indices to the
dependent packages in the export data.
A symbol is referenced by a tuple, (package index, symbol index).
Normally, for a given symbol, this index is unique, and the
symbol index is globally consistent (but with exceptions, see
below). The package index is local to a compilation. For example,
when compiling the fmt package, fmt.Println gets assigned index
25, then all packages that reference fmt.Println will refer it
as (X, 25) with some X. X is the index for the fmt package, which
may differ in different compilations.
There are some symbols that do not have clear package affiliation,
such as dupOK symbols and linknamed symbols. We cannot give them
globally consistent indices. We categorize them as non-package
symbols, assign them with package index 1 and a symbol index that
is only meaningful locally.
Currently nothing will consume the indices.
All this is behind a flag, -newobj. The flag needs to be set for
all builds (-gcflags=all=-newobj -asmflags=all=-newobj), or none.

Currently, both asm and compile have a -symabis flag, but in asm it's
a boolean flag that means to generate a symbol ABIs file and in the
compiler its a string flag giving the path of the symbol ABIs file to
consume. I'm worried about this false symmetry biting us in the
future, so rename asm's flag to -gensymabis.
Updates #27539.

This adds a -symabis flag that runs the assembler in a special mode
that outputs symbol definition and reference ABIs rather than
assembling the code. This uses a fast and somewhat lax parser because
the go_asm.h definitions may not be available.
For #27539.

Prior to this CL, cmd/go invoked cmd/asm once
for every assembly file.
The exec and cmd/asm startup overhead dwarfed
the actual time spent assembling.
This CL adds support to cmd/asm to process
multiple input files and uses it in cmd/go.
This cuts 10% off the wall time for 'go build -a math'.

This CL removes the remaining visible uses of the "architecture letter" concept.
(They are no longer in tool names nor in source directory names.)
Because the architecture letter concept is now gone, delete GOCHAR
from "go env" output, and change go/build.ArchChar to return an
error always.
The architecture letter is still used in the compiler and linker sources
as a clumsy architecture enumeration, but that use is not visible to
Go users and can be cleaned up separately.

The creation of liblink and subsequent introduction of more explicit
TLS handling broke 6l's (unsupported) -shared flag. This change adds
-shared flags to cmd/asm and 6g and changes liblink to generate shared-
library compatible instruction sequences when they are passed, and
changes 6l to emit the appropriate ELF relocation.
A proper fix probably also requires go tool changes.
Fixes#9652.

verifyAsm is still on, but this CL changes the order to asm then 6a.
Before, it was 6a then asm, but that meant that any bugs in asm
for bad input would be prevented from happening because 6a would
catch them. Now asm gets first crack, as it must.
Also implement the -trimpath flag in asm. It's necessary and trivial.

Add the lexing code for the new portable assembler.
It is internal to the assembler, so lives in a subdirectory of cmd/asm/internal.
Its only new dependency is the flags package for the assembler, so
add that too; it's trivial. That package manages the command-line
flags in a central place.
The lexer builds on text/scanner to lex the input, including doing a
Plan 9-level implementation of the C preprocessor.
