time: show how to get midnight on the current day

Browse Source 
A common task is trying to get today's date in the local time zone
with zero values for the hour, minute, second, and nanosecond fields.
I tried this recently and incorrectly used Truncate(24*time.Hour),
which truncates based on a UTC clock, and gave me 5pm Pacific time
instead of midnight Pacific.

I thought it would be helpful to show a "correct" way to do this.
