[dev.regabi] cmd/compile: add Linksym helpers
Syms are meant to be just interned (pkg, name) tuples, and are a purely abstract, Go-language concept. As such, associating them with linker symbols (a low-level, implementation-oriented detail) is inappropriate. There's still work to be done before linker symbols can be directly attached to their appropriate, higher-level objects instead. But in the mean-time, we can at least add helper functions and discourage folks from using Sym.Linksym directly. The next CL will mechanically rewrite code to use these helpers where possible. Passes toolstash -cmp.
