cmd/gc: implement -pack flag

The -pack flag causes 5g, 6g, 8g to write a Go archive directly,
instead of requiring the use of 'go tool pack' to convert the .5/.6/.8
to .a format.

Writing directly avoids the copy and also avoids having the
export data stored twice in the archive (once in __.PKGDEF,
once in .5/.6/.8).

A separate CL will enable the use of this flag by cmd/go.

Other build systems that do not know about -pack will be unaffected.

The changes to cmd/ld handle a minor simplification to the format:
an unused section is removed.
