Subject: go_marshal: Implement automatic generation of ABI marshalling code.

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.
