runtime: mark objects in free lists as allocated and unscannable.
On the plus side, we don't need to change the bits when mallocing
pointerless objects. On the other hand, we need to mark objects in the
free lists during GC. But the free lists are small at GC time, so it
should be a net win.

math/rand: Float32/64 must only return values in [0,1)
Float32 and Float64 are now both created by taking the ratio
of two integers which are chosen to fit entirely into the

could cast a Float64 with more than 23 bits of ".99999"

crypto/x509: set default signature hash to SHA256 and allow override.
Previously the hash used when signing an X.509 certificate was fixed
and, for RSA, it was fixed to SHA1. Since Microsoft have announced the
deprecation of SHA1 in X.509 certificates, this change switches the
default to SHA256.
It also allows the hash function to be controlled by the caller by
setting the SignatureAlgorithm field of the template.
crypto/x509: add non-cgo darwin system anchor certs
The set of certs fetched via exec'ing `security` is not quite identical
to the certs fetched via the cgo call. The cgo fetch includes
any trusted root certs that the user may have added; exec does not.
The exec fetch includes an Apple-specific root cert; the cgo fetch
does not. Other than that, they appear to be the same.
Unfortunately, os/exec depends on crypto/x509, via net/http. Break the
circular dependency by moving the exec tests to their own package.
This will not work in iOS; we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

They cause too much bloat in the internals as we find ourselves adding
