// deadcode marks all reachable symbols.
//
// The basis of the dead code elimination is a flood fill of symbols,
// following their relocations, beginning at *flagEntrySymbol.
//
// This flood fill is wrapped in logic for pruning unused methods.
// All methods are mentioned by relocations on their receiver's *rtype.
// These relocations are specially defined as R_METHODOFF by the compiler
// so we can detect and manipulated them here.
//
// There are three ways a method of a reachable type can be invoked:
//
//	1. direct call
//	2. through a reachable interface type
//	3. reflect.Value.Call, .Method, or reflect.Method.Func
//
// The first case is handled by the flood fill, a directly called method
// is marked as reachable.
//
// The second case is handled by decomposing all reachable interface
// types into method signatures. Each encountered method is compared
// against the interface method signatures, if it matches it is marked
// as reachable. This is extremely conservative, but easy and correct.
//
// The third case is handled by looking to see if any of:
//	- reflect.Value.Call is reachable
//	- reflect.Value.Method is reachable
// 	- reflect.Type.Method or MethodByName is called.
// If any of these happen, all bets are off and all exported methods
// of reachable types are marked reachable.
//
// Any unreached text symbols are removed from ctxt.Textp.
