cmd/compile: remove amd64 code from package gc and the core gen tool

Parts of the SSA compiler in package gc contain amd64-specific code,
most notably Prog generation. Move this code into package amd64, so that
other architectures can be added more easily.

In package gc, this change is just moving code. There are no functional
changes or even any larger structural changes beyond changing function
names (mostly for export).

In the cmd/compile/internal/ssa/gen tool, more information is included
in arch to remove the AMD64-specific behavior in the main portion of the
tool. The generated opGen.go is identical.

The Go Programming Language

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Note that we do not accept pull requests and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. Please ask questions on https://forum.golangbridge.org or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts.

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.
