At the moment, gc and gccgo report compile-
time errors for certain constant indexes that
are out of bounds. The spec however requests
a run-time panic for out-of-bounds indexes
(http://tip.golang.org/ref/spec#Indexes).
Document the status quo.

Also: Be explicit what operator means with respect to conversion types.
The parenthesis requirement is a language change. At the moment,
literal function types in conversions that cannot possibly be
followed by a '(' don't need parentheses. For instance:
func(int)int(x) -> same as (func(int)int)(x)
func()()(x) -> same as (func())(x)
but:
func(int)(x) -> could be func(int)x {...}

Function and method calls are valid expression statements,
but calling certain built-in functions is not permitted.
Enumerate the built-ins.
Also: unsafe.Offsetof permits parenthesized selectors as
arguments.
This is simply documenting existing compiler behavior
(both gc and gccgo agree).

Both gc and gccgo permit calls such as unsafe.Sizeof(42). The

Strings happen to be represented similarly to
byte slices internally, but they don't quite
behave like them: While strings can be indexed,
sliced, and have their len() taken like byte
slices, string elements are not addressable,
make() and cap() is not supported, range loops
operate differently, and they are immutable (and
thus behave like values rather then references).

No changes to the meaning, just clearer language and more
examples, including illegal rune and string literals.

program values.

Another attempt at https://golang.org/cl/5754088.
Before, we only consulted $GOBIN for source code
found in $GOROOT, but that's confusing to explain
and less useful. The new behavior lets users set
GOBIN=$HOME/bin and have all go-compiled binaries
installed there.
Tested a few cases in test.bash.
Ran all.bash with and without $GOBIN and it works.
Even so, I expect it to break the builders,
like it did last time, we can debug from there.
