runtime, syscall: link Solaris binaries directly instead of using dlopen/dlsym

Before CL 8214 (use .plt instead of .got on Solaris) Solaris used a
dynamic linking scheme that didn't permit lazy binding. To speed program
startup, Go binaries only used it for a small number of symbols required
by the runtime. Other symbols were resolved on demand on first use, and
were cached for subsequent use. This required some moderately complex
code in the syscall package.

CL 8214 changed the way dynamic linking is implemented, and now lazy
binding is supported. As now all symbols are resolved lazily by the
dynamic loader, there is no need for the complex code in the syscall
package that did the same. This CL makes Go programs link directly
with the necessary shared libraries and deletes the lazy-loading code
implemented in Go.

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.
