The existing type checker was relying on augmenting ast.Object
fields (empty interfaces) for its purposes. While this worked
for some time now, it has become increasingly brittle. Also,
the need for package information for Fields and Methods would
have required a new field in each ast.Object. Rather than making
them bigger and the code even more subtle, in this CL we are moving
away from ast.Objects.
The types packge now defines its own objects for different
language entities (Const, Var, TypeName, Func), and they
implement the types.Object interface. Imported packages
create a Package object which holds the exported entities
in a types.Scope of types.Objects.
For type-checking, the current package is still using ast.Objects
to make this transition manageable. In a next step, the type-
checker will also use types.Objects instead, which opens the door
door to resolving ASTs entirely by the type checker. As a result,
the AST and type checker become less entangled, and ASTs can be
manipulated "by hand" or programmatically w/o having to worry
about scope and object invariants that are very hard to maintain.
(As a consequence, a future parser can do less work, and a
future AST will not need to define objects and scopes anymore.
Also, object resolution which is now split across the parser,
the ast, (ast.NewPackage), and even the type checker (for composite
literal keys) can be done in a single place which will be simpler
and more efficient.)
Change details:
- Check now takes a []*ast.File instead of a map[string]*ast.File.
It's easier to handle (I deleted code at all use sites) and does
not suffer from undefined order (which is a pain for testing).
- ast.Object.Data is now a *types.Package rather then an *ast.Scope
if the object is a package (obj.Kind == ast.Pkg). Eventually this
will go away altogether.
- Instead of an ast.Importer, Check now uses a types.Importer
(which returns a *types.Package).
- types.NamedType has two object fields (Obj Object and obj *ast.Object);
eventually there will be only Obj. The *ast.Object is needed during
this transition since a NamedType may refer to either an imported
(using types.Object) or locally defined (using *ast.Object) type.
- ast.NewPackage is not used anymore - there's a local copy for
package-level resolution of imports.
- struct fields now take the package origin into account.
- The GcImporter is now returning a *types.Package. It cannot be
used with ast.NewPackage anymore. If that functionality is still
used, a copy of the old GcImporter should be made locally (note
that GcImporter was part of exp/types and it's API was not frozen).
- dot-imports are not handled for the time being (this will come back).

This introduces a buffer between writing from a handler and
writing chunks. Further, it delays writing the header until
the first full chunk is ready. In the case where the first
full chunk is also the final chunk (for small responses), that
means we can also compute a Content-Length, which is a nice
side effect for certain benchmarks.

Changeset f483bfe81114 moved ELF generation to the architecture
independent code and in doing so added a Section* to the Sym
type and an Elf64_Shdr* to the Section type.
This caused the Plan 9 compilers to complain about incompatible
type signatures in the many files that reference the Sym type.

Back in the day, before the Go 1.0 release, $GOROOT was mandatory for building from source. Fast forward to now and $GOPATH is mandatory and $GOROOT is optional, and mainly used by those who use the binary distribution in uncommon places.
For example, most novices at least know about `sudo` as they would have used it to install the binary tarball into /usr/local. It is logical they would use the `sudo` hammer to `go get` other Go packages when faced with a permission error talking about the path they just had to use `sudo` on last time.
Even if they had read the documentation and set $GOPATH, go get will not work as expected as `sudo` masks most environment variables.
llucky(~) % ~/go/bin/go env | grep GOPATH
GOPATH="/home/dfc"
lucky(~) % sudo ~/go/bin/go env | grep GOPATH
GOPATH=""
This CL therefore proposes to remove support for using `go get` to download source into $GOROOT.
This CL also proposes an error when GOPATH=$GOROOT, as this is another place where new Go users can get stuck.

The linker split PKGDEF into (prefix, name, def) pairs,
and defines def to begin after a space following the identifier.
This is totally wrong for the following export data:
func "".FunctionName()
var SomethingCompletelyUnrelated int
The linker would parse
name=`"".FunctionName()\n\tvar`
def=`SomethingCompletelyUnrelated int`
since there is no space after FunctionName.
