cmd/compile: export inlined function bodies

Completed implementation for exporting inlined functions
using the new binary export format. This change passes
(export GO_GCFLAGS=-newexport; make all.bash) but for
gc's builtin_test.go which we need to adjust before enabling
this code by default.

For a high-level description of the export format see the
comment at the top of bexport.go.

Major changes:

1) The export format for the platform independent export data
   changed: When we export inlined function bodies, additional
   objects (other functions, types, etc.) that are referred to
   by the function bodies will need to be exported. While this
   doesn't affect the platform-independent portion directly, it
   adds more objects to the exportlist while we are exporting.
   Instead of trying to sort the objects into groups, just export
   objects as they appear in the export list. This is slightly
   less compact (one extra byte per object), but it is simpler
   and much more flexible.

2) The export format contains now three sections: 1) The plat-
   form independent objects, 2) the objects pulled in for export
   via inlined function bodies, and 3) the inlined function bodies.

3) Completed the exporting and importing code for inlined function
   bodies. The format is completely compiler-specific and easily
   changeable w/o affecting other tools. There is still quite a
   bit of room for denser encoding. This can happen at any time
   in the future.

This change contains also the adjustments for go/internal/gcimporter,
necessary because of the export format change 1) mentioned above.

For #13241.

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.
