This deletes all sym.Symbol and sym.Reloc references. This is
certainly not complete, and there are more cleanups to do. But I
feel this makes a good first round.

Move the guts of ctxt.Errorf into loader.Loader, so that we can make
calls to it from functions that have a "*loader.Loader" available but
not a "ctxt *Link". This is needed to start converting hooks like
"adddynrel" in the arch-specific portions of the linker to use loader
APIs.

In the dev.link branch we implemented the new object file format
and (part of) the linker improvements described in
https://golang.org/s/better-linker
The new object file is index-based and provides random access.
The linker maps the object files into read-only memory, and
access symbols on-demand using indices, as opposed to reading
all object files sequentially into the heap with the old format.
The linker carries symbol informations using indices (as opposed
to Symbol data structure). Symbols are created after the
reachability analysis, and only created for reachable symbols.
This reduces the linker's memory usage.
Linking cmd/compile, it creates ~25% fewer Symbols, and reduces
memory usage (inuse_space) by ~15%. (More results from Than.)
Currently, both the old and new object file formats are supported.
The old format is used by default. The new format can be turned
on by using the compiler/assembler/linker's -newobj flag. Note
that the flag needs to be specified consistently to all
compilations, i.e.
go build -gcflags=all=-newobj -asmflags=all=-newobj -ldflags=-newobj

When linking a Go archive, if the archiver invocation is the very last
thing that needs to happen in the link (no "atexit" cleanups required
remove the locally created tmpdir) then call syscall.Exec to invoke
the archiver command instead of the usual exec.Command. This has the
effect of reducing peak memory use for the linker overall, since we
don't be holding onto all of the linker's live memory while the
archiver is running.

The standard library has plenty of polished encoder/decoder
implementations. No need for another ad-hoc one.
I considered using encoding/gob instead, but these strings go into the
package data part of the object file, so it's important they don't
contain "\n$$\n". Package json escapes newlines in strings, so it's
safe to use here.

Begin passing coutbuf by as a parameter. To make the initial plumbing
pass easier, it is also a field in the standard ctxt parameter.
Consolidate the byte writing functions into the OutBuf object.
The result is less architecture-dependent initialization.
To avoid plumbing out everywhere we want to report an error, move
handling of out file deletion to an AtExit function.

Now only cmd/asm and cmd/compile depend on cmd/internal/obj. Changing
the assembler backends no longer requires reinstalling cmd/link or
cmd/addr2line.
There's also now one canonical definition of the object file format in
cmd/internal/objabi/doc.go, with a warning to update all three
implementations.
objabi is still something of a grab bag of unrelated code (e.g., flag
and environment variable handling probably belong in a separate "tool"
package), but this is still progress.
