cmd/compile: make the second argument to go:linkname optional
The //go:linkname directive can be used to make a symbol accessible to
another package (when it wouldn't normally be). Sometimes you want to
do this without actually changing the symbol's object file symbol
name; for example, in gccgo this makes unexported symbols non-static,
and in gc this provides ABI0 wrappers for Go symbols so they can be
called from assembly in other packages. Currently, this results in
stutter like
//go:linkname entersyscall runtime.entersyscall
This CL makes the second argument to go:linkname optional for the case
where the intent is simply to expose the symbol rather than to rename
it in the object file.
Updates #31230.
