Issue 2856 asks for a rename of a few methods to a
more idiomatic Go style. This is a very early API
that evolved organically throughout the years.
Together with the fact that ErrorVectors were embedded
in other data structures (e.g. Parser), just renaming
methods (e.g. GetError -> Error) would lead to undesired
behavior (e.g., Parser would act like an Error). Instead,
cleaned up API a bit more:
- removed ErrorVector in favor of ErrorList (already
present)
- simplified Scanner.Init by making the error handler a
function instead of requiring an ErrorHandler implementation
- adjusted helper functions accordingly
- updated Go 1 doc
Fixes#2856.

On 64 bit UML it is not possible to reserve memory at 0xF8<<32.
Detect when linux cannot use these high virtual memory addresses
and drop back to the 32 bit memory allocator.

Otherwise, the registration semantics are
init-order-dependent, which I was trying very hard
to avoid in the API. This may break broken programs.

Same idea as heap profile: how did each thread get created?
Low memory (256 bytes per OS thread), high reward for
programs that suddenly have many threads running.

This changes makes constant propagation compare 'from' values using node
pointers rather than symbol names when checking to see whether a set
operation is redundant. When a function is inlined multiple times in a
calling function its arguments will share symbol names even though the values
are different. Prior to this fix the bug409 test would hit a case with 6g
where an LEAQ instruction was incorrectly eliminated from the second inlined
function call. 8g appears to have had the same bug, but the test did not fail
there.

- convert from nil pointers to the nil interface{}
- dereference non-nil pointers
- convert from nil interface{}s to nil pointers
- allocate pointers for non-nil interface{}s
- tests for all of the above

encoding/xml: handle time.Time as recognized type
The long term plan is to define an interface that time.Time
can implement and that encoding/xml can call, but we are
not going to try to define that interface before Go 1.
Instead, special-case time.Time in package xml, because
it is such a fundamental type, as a stop-gap.
The eventual methods will behave this way.
Fixes#2793.

This also changes the behavior of attribute marshalling so
that strings and byte slices are marshalled even if empty.
The omitempty flag may be used to obtain the previous behavior.

The function has a bizarre signature: it was the only public function there
that exposed the reflect package. Also, its definition is peculiar and hard to
explain. It doesn't merit being exported.
This is an API change but really, it should never have been exported and
it's certain very few programs will depend on it: it's too weird.
Fixes#2846.

It complicates the interface unnecessarily.
Document this in go1.html.
Also update the go/doc Makefile.

Be careful when printing line comments with incorrect
position information. Maintain additional state
impliedSemi: when set, a comment containing a newline
would imply a semicolon and thus placement must be
delayed.
Precompute state information pertaining to the next
comment for faster checks (the printer is marginally
faster now despite additional checks for each comment).
No effect on existing src, misc sources.

Also bring the names in doc.go in line with the source.
More radical resolutions are possible but require substantial internal
changes for very little benefit. Fixing it this way lets us keep the
embedding, which has a huge simplifying effect, and guarantees
binary compatibility.

Commands such as "dist version > VERSION" will cause
the shell to create an empty VERSION file and set dist's
stdout to its fd. dist in turn looks at VERSION and uses
its content if available, which is empty at this point.
Fix that by ignoring VERSION if it's empty.
Also prevent cmdversion from running findgoversion a
second time. It was already loaded by init.
