Russ Cox e375ca2a25 runtime: reorder bits in heap bitmap bytes
The runtime deals with 1-bit pointer bitmaps and 2-bit heap bitmaps
that have entries for both pointers and mark bits.

Each byte in a 1-bit pointer bitmap looks like pppppppp (all pointer bits).
Each byte in a 2-bit heap bitmap looks like mpmpmpmp (mark, pointer, ...).
This means that when converting from 1-bit to 2-bit, as we do
during malloc, we have to pick up 4 bits in pppp form and use
shifts to create the mpmpmpmp form.

This CL changes the 2-bit heap bitmap form to mmmmpppp,
so that 4 bits picked up in 1-bit form can be used directly in
the low bits of the heap bitmap byte, without expansion.
This simplifies the code, and it also happens to be faster.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
