cmd/nm: reimplement in Go

The immediate goal is to support the new object file format,
which libmach (nm's support library) does not understand.
Rather than add code to libmach or reengineer liblink to
support this new use, just write it in Go.

The C version of nm reads the Plan 9 symbol table stored in
Go binaries, now otherwise unused.

This reimplementation uses the standard symbol table for
the corresponding file format instead, bringing us one step
closer to removing the Plan 9 symbol table from Go binaries.

Tell cmd/dist not to build cmd/nm anymore.
Tell cmd/go to install cmd/nm in the tool directory.

-Nm is a version of the Plan 9 nm command.  The original is documented at
-
-	http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/1/nm
-
-It prints the name list (symbol table) for programs compiled by gc as well as the
-Plan 9 C compiler.
-
-This implementation adds the flag -S, which prints each symbol's size
-in decimal after its address.
-
-Usage:
-	go tool nm [-aghnsSTu] file
-
-*/
+// Nm lists the symbols defined or used by an object file, archive, or executable.
+//
+// Usage:
+//	go tool nm [options] file...
+//
+// The default output prints one line per symbol, with three space-separated
+// fields giving the address (in hexadecimal), type (a character), and name of
+// the symbol. The types are:
+//
+//	T	text (code) segment symbol
+//	t	static text segment symbol
+//	D	data segment symbol
+//	d	static data segment symbol
+//	B	bss segment symbol
+//	b	static bss segment symbol
+//	U	referenced but undefined symbol
+//
+// Following established convention, the address is omitted for undefined
+// symbols (type U).
+//
+// The options control the printed output:
+//
+//	-n
+//		an alias for -sort address (numeric),
+//		for compatiblity with other nm commands
+//	-size
+//		print symbol size in decimal between address and type
+//	-sort {address,name,none}
+//		sort output in the given order (default name)
+//	-type
+//		print symbol type after name
