With help of a new interactive commit classifier tool (tool location
TBD, likely x/build/cmd/writenotes), classify all commits from go1.7
up to 56d35d4.
We can selectively cull this list later. When in doubt, I erred on the
side of inclusion for now.

This simply documents the status quo accepted by cmd/compile, gccgo,
and go/types. The new language matches the language used for indices
of index expressions for arrays and slices.
Fixes#16679.

This is a backwards-compatible language change.
Per the proposal (#16085), the rules for conversions are relaxed
such that struct tags in any of the structs involved in the conversion
are ignored (recursively).
Because this is loosening the existing rules, code that compiled so
far will continue to compile.
For #16085.
Fixes#6858.

The download page says "OS X 10.8 or later", but other pages said 10.7.
Say 10.8 everywhere.
Turns out Go doesn't even compile on OS X 10.7 (details in bug) and we
only run builders for OS X 10.8+, which is likely why 10.7
regressed. Until recently we only had OS X 10.10 builders, even.
We could run 10.7 builders, but there's basically no reason to do so,
especially with 10.12 coming out imminently.

Currently the footnote says "gcc is required only if you plan to use cgo",
but the footnote was referenced from the text:
"use the clang or gcc† that comes with Xcode‡ for cgo support"
That seems to imply that clang doesn't get you cgo support on OS X,
which isn't true. The update text matches what the install-source.html
page says.

New Gophers sometimes misconstrue the advice in the "Generality" section
as "export interfaces instead of implementations" and add needless
interfaces to their code as a result. Down the road, they end up
needing to add methods and either break existing callers or have to
resort to unpleasant hacks (e.g. using "magic method" type-switches).
Weaken the first paragraph of this section to only advise leaving types
unexported when they will never need additional methods.
