various: avoid %ld etc
The Plan 9 tools assume that long is 32 bits.
We converted all instances of long to int32 when
importing the code but missed the print formats.
Because int32 is always int on the compilers we use,
it is never correct to use %lux, %ld, etc. Convert to %ux, %d, etc.
(It matters because on 64-bit gcc, long is 64 bits,
so we were printing 32-bit quantities with 64-bit formats.)

5l, 6l, 8l: first pass cleanup
* Maintain Sym* list for text with individual
prog lists instead of using one huge list and
overloading p->pcond.
* Comment what each file is for.
* Move some output code from span.c to asm.c.
* Move profiling into prof.c, symbol table into symtab.c.
* Move mkfwd to ld/lib.c.
* Throw away dhog dynamic loading code.
* Throw away Alef become.
* Fix printing of WORD instructions in 5l -a.
Goal here is to be able to handle each piece of text or data
as a separate piece, both to make it easier to load the
occasional .o file and also to make it possible to split the
work across multiple threads.

6l: work with OS X nm/otool
6l was skipping emitting the (2 byte) symbol table if there were no imported or exported
symbols. You can't just drop the symbol table entirely - the linker dies if you have
a linkedit section but no table. You can omit the linkedit section or both the linkedit
and the dlyd parts in the right circumstances, but that seems much more risky to me.

log: new interface
New logging interface simplifies and generalizes.
1) Loggers now have only one output.
2) log.Stdout, Stderr, Crash and friends are gone.
Logging is now always to standard error by default.
3) log.Panic* replaces log.Crash*.
4) Exiting and panicking are not part of the logger's state; instead
the functions Exit* and Panic* simply call Exit or panic after
printing.
5) There is now one 'standard logger'. Instead of calling Stderr,
use Print etc. There are now triples, by analogy with fmt:
Print, Println, Printf
What was log.Stderr is now best represented by log.Println,
since there are now separate Print and Println functions
(and methods).
6) New functions SetOutput, SetFlags, and SetPrefix allow global
editing of the standard logger's properties. This is new
functionality. For instance, one can call
log.SetFlags(log.Lshortfile|log.Ltime|log.Lmicroseconds)
to get all logging output to show file name, line number, and
time stamp.
In short, for most purposes
log.Stderr -> log.Println or log.Print
log.Stderrf -> log.Printf
log.Crash -> log.Panicln or log.Panic
log.Crashf -> log.Panicf
log.Exit -> log.Exitln or log.Exit
log.Exitf -> log.Exitf (no change)
This has a slight breakage: since loggers now write only to one
output, existing calls to log.New() need to delete the second argument.
Also, custom loggers with exit or panic properties will need to be
reworked.
All package code updated to new interface.
The test has been reworked somewhat.
The old interface will be removed after the new release.
For now, its elements are marked 'deprecated' in their comments.

exp/iterable: delete
Package iterable has outlived its utility.
It is an interesting demonstration, but it encourages
people to use iteration over channels where simple
iteration over array indices or a linked list would be
cheaper, simpler, and have fewer races.

new command gotry.
An exercise in reflection and an unusual tool.
From the usage message:
usage: gotry [packagedirectory] expression ...
Given one expression, gotry attempts to evaluate that expression.
Given multiple expressions, gotry treats them as a list of arguments
and result values and attempts to find a function in the package
that, given the first few expressions as arguments, evaluates to
the remaining expressions as results. If the first expression has
methods, it will also search for applicable methods.
If there are multiple expressions, a package directory must be
specified. If there is a package argument, the expressions are
evaluated in an environment that includes
import . "packagedirectory"

Make.pkg: remove .so before installing new one
On Linux, overwriting an mmap'ed file causes
all the MAP_PRIVATE pages to get refreshed
with the new content, even ones that have been
modified by the process that did the mmap.
One specific instance of this is that after the
dynamic linker has relocated a page from a .so,
overwriting the .so will un-relocate it, making
the next use of one of the no-longer-relocated
addresses incorrect and probably crash the
program.
Linux must go out of its way to break programs
in this way: the pages have already been copied
on write, so they're not shared with the file system
cache, and it trashes them anyway. The manual
says the behavior when the file gets overwritten
is "undefined". Removing before copy avoids the
undefined behavior.

doc: consolidate FAQs into a single file, go_faq.html
An entirely mechanical change, with these exceptions:
- removed 'stub questions' that reference the other FAQs
- removed "Why doesn't Go run on Windows yet?" - out of date
I will follow this CL with another that updates many of the
answers to make them more current.
