The runtime traceback code has its own definition of which functions
mark the top frame of a stack, separate from the TOPFRAME bits that
exist in the assembly and are passed along in DWARF information.
It's error-prone and redundant to have two different sources of truth.
This CL provides the actual TOPFRAME bits to the runtime, so that
the runtime can use those bits instead of reinventing its own category.
This CL also adds a new bit, SPWRITE, which marks functions that
write directly to SP (anything but adding and subtracting constants).
Such functions must stop a traceback, because the traceback has no
way to rederive the SP on entry. Again, the runtime has its own definition
which is mostly correct, but also missing some functions. During ordinary
goroutine context switches, such functions do not appear on the stack,
so the incompleteness in the runtime usually doesn't matter.
But profiling signals can arrive at any moment, and the runtime may
crash during traceback if it attempts to unwind an SP-writing frame
and gets out-of-sync with the actual stack. The runtime contains code
to try to detect likely candidates but again it is incomplete.
Deriving the SPWRITE bit automatically from the actual assembly code
provides the complete truth, and passing it to the runtime lets the
runtime use it.
This CL is part of a stack adding windows/arm64
support (#36439), intended to land in the Go 1.17 cycle.
This CL is, however, not windows/arm64-specific.
It is cleanup meant to make the port (and future ports) easier.

The code in the new (introduced in 1.15) Go object file reader was
casting a pointer-mmaped-memory into a large array prior to performing
a read of the relocations section:
return (*[1<<20]Reloc)(unsafe.Pointer(&r.b[off]))[:n:n]
For very large object files, this artificial array isn't large enough
(that is, there are more than 1048576 relocs to read), so update the
code to use a larger artifical array size.
Fixes#41621.

cmd/internal/objabi/doc.go has comments decribing the (old)
object file format. But cmd/internal/objabi has nothing to do
with object files, and never did. Delete.
Move some comment to cmd/internal/goobj, where the (new) object
file format is actually defined, and update to reflect the
current status.

Switch pcdata over to content addressable symbols. This is the last
step before removing these from pclntab_old.
No meaningful benchmarks changes come from this work.
