This flag is experimental and the semantics may change
even after Go 1.7 is released. There are no changes to code
not using the flag.
The first part is for reading by future compiles.
The second part is for reading by the final link step.
Splitting the file this way allows distributed build systems
to ship the compile-input part only to compile steps and
the linker-input part only to linker steps.
The first part is basically just the export data,
and the second part is basically everything else.
The overall files still have the same broad structure,
so that existing tools will work with both halves.
It's just that various pieces are empty in the two halves.
This also copies the two bits of data the linker needed from
export data into the object header proper, so that the linker
doesn't need any export data at all. That eliminates a TODO
that was left for switching to the binary export data.
(Now the linker doesn't need to know about the switch.)
The default is still to write out a combined output file.
Nothing changes unless you pass -linkobj to the compiler.
There is no support in the go command for -linkobj,
since the go command doesn't copy objects around.
The expectation is that other build systems (like bazel, say)
might take advantage of this.
The header adjustment and the option for the split output
was intended as part of the zip archives, but the zip archives
have been cut from Go 1.7. Doing this to the current archives
both unblocks one step in the switch to binary export data
and enables alternate build systems to experiment with the
new flag using the Go 1.7 release.

mapaccess{1,2} returns a pointer to the value. When the key
is not in the map, it returns a pointer to zeroed memory.
Currently, for large map values we have a complicated scheme which
dynamically allocates zeroed memory for this purpose. It is ugly
code and requires an atomic.Load in a bunch of places we'd rather
not have it.
Switch to a scheme where callsites of mapaccess{1,2} which expect
large return values pass in a pointer to zeroed memory that
mapaccess can return if the key is not found. This avoids the
atomic.Load on all map accesses with a few extra instructions only
for the large value acccesses, plus a bit of bss space.
There was a time (1.4 & 1.5?) where we did something like this but
all the tricks to make the right size zero value were done by the
linker. That scheme broke in the presence of dyamic linking.
The scheme in this CL works even when dynamic linking.

This is the first in a series of CLs to replace the use of pointers
in binary read-only data with offsets.
In standard Go binaries these CLs have a small effect, shrinking
8-byte pointers to 4-bytes. In position-independent code, it also
saves the dynamic relocation for the pointer. This has a significant
effect on the binary size when building as PIE, c-archive, or
c-shared.

For every string constant the compiler was creating 2 Sym's and 2
Node's. It would never refer to them again, but would keep them alive
in gostringpkg. This changes the code to just use obj.LSym's instead.
When compiling x/tools/go/types, this yields about a 15% reduction in
the number of calls to newname and a 3% reduction in the total number of
Node objects. Unfortunately I couldn't see any change in compile time,
but reducing memory usage is desirable anyhow.

Using a string's contents as it's symbol's name
was a thus a bad idea if the string's name was long.
Recent improvements by crawshaw have changed that.
Instead of placing long strings behind opaque names
in local packages, place them in the global string
package and make them content-addressable.
Symbol names still occur in the object files,
so use a hash to avoid needless length there.

This does not pass toolstash -cmp, because
this changes the order in which some relocations
get added, and thus it changes the output from
the compiler. It is not worth the execution time
to sort the relocs in the normal case.
However, compiling with -S -v generates identical
output if (1) you suppress printing of ADATA progs
in flushplist and (2) you suppress printing of
cpu timing. It is reasonable to suppress printing
the ADATA progs, since the data itself is dumped
later. I am therefore fairly confident that all
changes are superficial and non-functional.

in general.

Previously t.zero always pointed to runtime.zerovalue. Change the hashmap code
to always return a runtime pointer directly, and change that pointer to point
to a larger buffer if one is needed.
(It might be better to only copy from the pointer returned by the mapaccess
functions when the value type is small enough and have the compiler insert
explicit zeroing for larger value types, but I tried and failed to do this).
This removes all uses of the zero field of the type data; the field itself can
be removed in a separate change.
