Previously, go-marshal only allowed literals for array
lengths. However, it's very common for ABI structs to have a fix-sized
array whose length is defined by a constant; for example PATH_MAX.
Having to convert all such arrays to have literal lengths is too
awkward.

Previously, the import statement collision detection mechanism aborted
go-marshal whenever it detected two imports in any package that has
the same local name. Consider this trivial package, defined by the the
following two source files:
file1.go:
package example
import (
path/a/to/foo
)
...
file2.go:
package example
import (
another/package/with/final/component/foo
)
...
Go-marshal previously couldn't handle generating code for the the
above package, even if none of the types marked for marshalling used
either of the imported foo packages. This turns out to be too
restrictive as we run into this a lot in practice. Examples include
"encoding/binary" vs "gvisor/pkg/binary/binary", and "sync" vs
"gvisor/pkg/sync/sync".
This change allows go-marshal to proceed with marshalling, and only
abort if the code generated by go-marshal references any such
ambiguous import names.

Users of the API only care about whether the copy in/out succeeds in
their entirety, which is already signalled by the returned error.

Add new Marshallable interface methods CopyIn/CopyOut, which can be directly
called on the marshalled object, avoiding an interface indirection. Such
indirections are problematic because they always cause the marshalled object to
escape.

This CL implements go_marshal, a code generation utility for
automatically serializing and deserializing ABI structs.
The go_marshal tool automatically generates implementations of the new
marshal interface. Unlike binary.Marshal/Unmarshal, the generated
interface implementations use no runtime reflection, and translates to
a single memcpy for most structs. See go_marshal/README.md for
details.
