In particular, we can initialize globals with them at link time instead
of generating code for them in an init() function. Less code, less
startup cost.
But the real reason for this change is binary size. This change reduces
the binary size of hello world by ~4%.
The culprit is fmt.ssFree, a global variable which is a sync.Pool of
scratch scan states. It is initalized with a captureless closure as the
pool's New action. That action in turn references all the scanf code.
If you never call any of the fmt.Scanf* routines, ssFree is never used.
But before this change, ssFree is still referenced by fmt's init
function. That keeps ssFree and all the code it references in the
binary. With this change, ssFree is initialized at link time. As a
result, fmt.init never mentions ssFree. If you don't call fmt.Scanf*,
ssFree is unreferenced and it and the scanf code are not included.
This change is an easy fix for what is generally a much harder problem,
the unnecessary initializing of unused globals (and retention of code
that they reference). Ideally we should have separate init code for
each global and only include that code if the corresponding global is
live. (We'd need to make sure that the initializing code has no side
effects, except on the global being initialized.) That is a much harder
change.

It confuses live variable analysis to have a bunch of unreachable
no-ops at the end of a function. Symptom is:
gc/plive.go:483 panic: interface conversion: interface {} is nil, not *gc.BasicBlock
I don't see any reason why the old compiler needs these no-ops either.
all.bash passes with the equivalent code removed on master.

The existing backend recognizes special
assignment statements as being implementable
with static data rather than code.
Unfortunately, it assumes that it is in the middle
of codegen; it emits data and modifies the AST.
This does not play well with SSA's two-phase
bootstrapping approach, in which we attempt to
compile code but fall back to the existing backend
if something goes wrong.
To work around this:
* Add the ability to inquire about static data
without side-effects.
* Save the static data required for a function.
* Emit that static data during SSA codegen.

This avoids both a write barrier and then dynamic initialization
globals of the form
var x something
var xp = unsafe.Pointer(&x)
Using static initialization avoids emitting a relocation for &x,
which helps cgo.

The expansion of structure, array, slice, and map literals
does not use the right line number in its introduced assignments
to temporaries, which leads to incorrect line number attribution
for expressions in those literals.
Inlining also incorrectly replaced the line numbers of args to
inlined functions.
This was revealed in CL 9721 because a now-avoided temporary
assignment introduced the correct line number.
I.e. before CL 9721
"tmp_wrongline := expr"
was transformed to
"tmp_rightline := expr; tmp_wrongline := tmp_rightline"
Also includes a repair to CL 10334 involving line numbers
where a spurious -1 remained (should have been 0, now is 0).
Fixes#11400.

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.
