An experiment: allow structs to be copied even if they
contain unexported fields. This gives packages the
ability to return opaque values in their APIs, like reflect
does for reflect.Value but without the kludgy hacks reflect
resorts to.
In general, we trust programmers not to do silly things
like *x = *y on a package's struct pointers, just as we trust
programmers not to do unicode.Letter = unicode.Digit,
but packages that want a harder guarantee can introduce
an extra level of indirection, like in the changes to os.File
in this CL or by using an interface type.
All in one CL so that it can be rolled back more easily if
we decide this is a bad idea.

There are three classes of methods/functions called Error:
a) The Error method in the just introduced error interface
b) Error methods that create or report errors (http.Error, etc)
c) Error methods that return errors previously associated with
the receiver (Tokenizer.Error, rows.Error, etc).
This CL introduces the convention that methods in case (c)
should be named Err.
The reasoning for the change is:
- The change differentiates the two kinds of APIs based on
names rather than just on signature, unloading Error a bit
- Err is closer to the err variable name that is so commonly
used with the intent of verifying an error
- Err is shorter and thus more convenient to be used often
on error verifications, such as in iterators following the
convention of the sql package.

Back then, every x.go file in a package became an x.6 file
in the archive. It was important to be able to allow the
use of long Go source file names, hence the increase in size.
Today, all Go source files compile into a single _go_.6 file
regardless of their names, so the archive file name length
no longer needs to be long. The longer name causes some
problems on Plan 9, where the native archive format is the
same but with 16-byte names, so revert back to 16.

goinstall has built in support for a few common code hosting sites. The
identification of which vcs tool should be used was based purely on a
regex match against the provided import path. The problem with this
approach is that it requires distinct import paths for different vcs
tools on the same site.
Since bitbucket has recently starting hosting Git repositories under the
same bitbucket.org/user/project scheme as it already hosts Mercurial
repositories, now would seem a good time to take a more flexible
approach.
We still match the import path against a list of regexes, but now the
match is purely to distinguish the different hosting sites. Once the
site is identified, the specified function is called with the repo and
path matched out of the import string. This function is responsible for
creating the vcsMatch structure that tells us what we need to download
the code.
For github and launchpad, only one vcs tool is currently supported, so
these functions can simply return a vcsMatch structure. For googlecode,
we retain the behaviour of determing the vcs from the import path - but
now it is done by the function instead of the regex. For bitbucket, we
use api.bitbucket.org to find out what sort of repository the specified
import path corresponds to - and then construct the appropriate vcsMatch
structure.

The loop recognizer uses the standard dominance
frontiers but gets confused by dead code, which
has a (not explicitly set) rpo number of 0, meaning it
looks like the head of the function, so it dominates
everything. If the loop recognizer encounters dead
code while tracking backward through the graph
it fails to recognize where it started as a loop, and
then the optimizer does not registerize values loaded
inside that loop. Fix by checking rpo against rpo2r.
Separately, run a quick pass over the generated
code to squash JMPs to JMP instructions, which
are convenient to emit during code generation but
difficult to read when debugging the -S output.
A side effect of this pass is to eliminate dead code,
so the output files may be slightly smaller and the
optimizer may have less work to do.
There is no semantic effect, because the linkers
flatten JMP chains and delete dead instructions
when laying out the final code. Doing it here too
just makes the -S output easier to read and more
like what the final binary will contain.
The "dead code breaks loop finding" bug is thus
fixed twice over. It seemed prudent to fix loopit
separately just in case dead code ever sneaks back
in for one reason or another.

There's some ambiguity in the U{url: url} case as it could be
both a map or a struct literal, but given context it's more
likely a struct, so U{url: url_} rather than U{url_: url_}.
At least that was the case for me.

- read search index files in groutine to avoid
start-up failure on app engine because reading
the files takes too long
- permit usage of search index files and indexer
- minor cosmetic cleanups

Was keeping a pointer to the labeled statement in n->right,
which meant that generic traversals of the tree visited it twice.
That combined with aggressive flattening of the block
structure when possible during parsing meant that
the kinds of label: code label: code label: code sequences
generated by yacc were giving the recursion 2ⁿ paths
through the program.
Fixes#2212.

- KindRuns don't need to repeat SpotKind,
it is stored in each Spot
- removed extra indirection from FileRuns
to KindRuns
- slight reduction of written index size

Does as much as possible in data layout instead
of during the init function.
Handles var x = y; var y = z as a special case too,
because it is so prevalent in package unicode
(var Greek = _Greek; var _Greek = []...).
Introduces InitPlan description of initialized data
so that it can be traversed multiple times (for example,
in the copy handler).
Cuts package unicode's init function size by 8x.
All that remains there is map initialization, which
is on the chopping block too.
Fixes sinit.go test case.
Aggregate DATA instructions at end of object file.
Checkpoint. More to come.
