ld: change DWARF output for structs
The debug/dwarf package cannot parse the format generated here,
but the format can be changed so it does.
After this edit, tweaking the expression defining the offset
of a struct field, the dwarf package can parse the tables (again?).

spec: permit "for range x" (no index variables)

This is a fully backward-compatible language change.

There are not a lot of cases in the std library, but
there are some. Arguably this makes the syntax a bit
more regular - any trailing index variable that is _
can be left away, and there's some analogy to type
switches where the temporary can be left away.

Implementation-wise the change should be trivial as
it can be done completely syntactically. For instance,
the respective change in go/parser is a dozen lines
(see https://codereview.appspot.com/112970044 ).

Fixes issue 6102.

runtime: refactor routines for stopping, running goroutine from m

This CL adds 'dropg', which is called to drop the association
between m and its current goroutine, and it makes schedule
handle locked goroutines correctly, instead of requiring all
callers of schedule to do that.

The effect is that if you want to take over an m for, say,
garbage collection work while still allowing the current g
to run on some other m, you can do an mcall to a function
that is:

        // dissociate gp
        dropg();
        gp->status = Gwaiting; // for ready

        // put gp on run queue for others to find
        runtime·ready(gp);

        /* ... do other work here ... */

        // done with m, let it run goroutines again
        schedule();

Before this CL, the dropg() body had to be written explicitly,
and the check for lockedg before schedule had to be
written explicitly too, both of which make the code a bit
more fragile than it needs to be.
