cmd/compile, cmd/link: separate stable and internal ABIs
This implements compiler and linker support for separating the
function calling ABI into two ABIs: a stable and an internal ABI. At
the moment, the two ABIs are identical, but we'll be able to evolve
the internal ABI without breaking existing assembly code that depends
on the stable ABI for calling to and from Go.
The Go compiler generates internal ABI symbols for all Go functions.
It uses the symabis information produced by the assembler to create
ABI wrappers whenever it encounters a body-less Go function that's
defined in assembly or a Go function that's referenced from assembly.
Since the two ABIs are currently identical, for the moment this is
implemented using "ABI alias" symbols, which are just forwarding
references to the native ABI symbol for a function. This way there's
no actual code involved in the ABI wrapper, which is good because
we're not deriving any benefit from it right now. Once the ABIs
diverge, we can eliminate ABI aliases.
The linker represents these different ABIs internally as different
versions of the same symbol. This way, the linker keeps us honest,
since every symbol definition and reference also specifies its
version. The linker is responsible for resolving ABI aliases.
Fixes#27539.
