Go patch committed: Put nointerface methods in unique sections

[Ian Lance Taylor]

This patch to the Go frontend puts nointerface methods in unique
sections.  A method marked nointerface may not be needed in the final
link, and putting it in a unique section makes it possible for the
linker to discard it if possible.  Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.  Committed to mainline.
