Currently, Windows stacks are either 128kB or 2MB depending on whether
the binary uses cgo. This is because we assume that Go system stacks
and the small amount of C code invoked by the standard library can
operate within smaller stacks, but general Windows C code assumes
larger stacks.
However, it's easy to call into arbitrary C code using the syscall
package on Windows without ever importing cgo into a binary. Such
binaries need larger system stacks even though they don't use cgo.
Fix this on 64-bit by increasing the system stack size to 2MB always.
This only costs address space, which is free enough on 64-bit to not
worry about. We keep (for now) the existing heuristic on 32-bit, where
address space comes at more of a premium.

Many (most!) of the values of objapi.SymKind are used only in the linker, so
this creates a separate cmd/link/internal/ld.SymKind type, removes most values
from SymKind and maps one to the other when reading object files in the linker.
Two of the remaining objapi.SymKind values are only checked for, never set and
so will never be actually found but I wanted to keep this to the most

The table is quite large. For example, my go.exe has 11736 records.
To generate symbol table:
1) we walk "all symbols" list to count symbols we want for the table;
2) we allocate large global array of COFFSym structs (32 bytes each)
to fit our symbols;
3) we walk "all symbols" list again to fill our array with contents;
4) we iterate over our global array to write all records to the file.
This CL changes all these steps with single step:

On Windows, externalthreadhandler currently sets the assumed stack
size for the profiler thread and the ctrlhandler threads to 8KB. The
actual stack size is determined by the SizeOfStackReserve field in the
binary set by the linker, which is currently at least 64KB (and
typically 128KB).
It turns out the profiler thread is running within a few words of the
8KB-(stack guard) bound set by externalthreadhandler. If it overflows
this bound, morestack crashes unceremoniously with an access
violation, which we then fail to handle, causing the whole process to
exit without explanation.
To avoid this problem and give us some breathing room, increase the
assumed stack size in externalthreadhandler to 32KB (there's some
unknown amount of stack already in use, so it's not safe to increase
this all the way to the reserve size).
We also document the relationships between externalthreadhandler and
SizeOfStackReserve to make this more obvious in the future.
