Dan Scales 15ad61aff5 [dev.typeparams] cmd/compile: get export/import of generic types & functions working
The general idea is that we now export/import typeparams, typeparam
lists for generic types and functions, and instantiated types
(instantiations of generic types with either new typeparams or concrete
types).

This changes the export format -- the next CL in the stack adds the
export versions and checks for it in the appropriate places.

We always export/import generic function bodies, using the same code
that we use for exporting/importing the bodies of inlineable functions.

To avoid complicated scoping, we consider all type params as unique and
give them unique names for types1. We therefore include the types2 ids
(subscripts) in the export format and re-create on import. We always
access the same unique types1 typeParam type for the same typeparam
name.

We create fully-instantiated generic types and functions in the original
source package. We do an extra NeedRuntimeType() call to make sure that
the correct DWARF information is written out. We call SetDupOK(true) for
the functions/methods to have the linker automatically drop duplicate
instantiations.

Other miscellaneous details:
 - Export/import of typeparam bounds works for methods (but not
   typelists) for now, but will change with the typeset changes.

 - Added a new types.Instantiate function roughly analogous to the
   types2.Instantiate function recently added.

 - Always access methods info from the original/base generic type, since
   the methods of an instantiated type are not filled in (in types2 or
   types1).

 - New field OrigSym in types.Type to keep track of base generic type
   that instantiated type was based on. We use the generic type's symbol
   (OrigSym) as the link, rather than a Type pointer, since we haven't
   always created the base type yet when we want to set the link (during
   types2 to types1 conversion).

 - Added types2.AsTypeParam(), (*types2.TypeParam).SetId()

 - New test minimp.dir, which tests use of generic function Min across
   packages. Another test stringimp.dir, which also exports a generic
   function Stringify across packages, where the type param has a bound
   (Stringer) as well. New test pairimp.dir, which tests use of generic
   type Pair (with no methods) across packages.

 - New test valimp.dir, which tests use of generic type (with methods
   and related functions) across packages.

 - Modified several other tests (adder.go, settable.go, smallest.go,
   stringable.go, struct.go, sum.go) to export their generic
   functions/types to show that generic functions/types can be exported
   successfully (but this doesn't test import).
