Does Go, the tool chain itself, need libbio?  If not, then it is there
only for building Go on platforms other than Plan 9 and the Go libbio
should be a subset of the Plan 9 one.  Breaking this concept seems
unnecessary, not unforgivable: Go does this with libmach, but there
the details are much more complex and a merge of libmachs between Go
and Plan 9 would in any case be an asset.

As an interesting issue, we could have avoided introducing 21-bit
runes in Plan 9 by extracting a libutf from libc for use in Plan 9,
but we would have gained some time and nothing else.  The same, more
or less, applies to libbio, in my opinion.
