An identifier X in anonymous struct field struct{X} is both a
definition of a field (*Var) and reference to a type
(*TypeName). Now that we have split the map, we can capture
both of these aspects.
Interestingly, every client but one was going to extra effort
to iterate over just the uses or just the defs; this
simplifies them.
Also, fix two bug related to tagless switches:
- An entry was being recorded in the Object map for a piece of
synthetic syntax.
- The "true" identifier was being looked up in the current scope,
which allowed perverse users to locally redefine it. Now
we use the bool (not untyped boolean) constant true, per the
consequent clarification of the spec (issue 7404).

If a -pos argument is specified, a 'callgraph' query reports only the
functions within the query package. This produces a far more manageable
amount of information, and because we don't need to package-qualify the
names, the result is easier to read.
Added tests:
- callgraph query with/without -pos
(The test driver was extended to allow "nopos" queries.)
- callers and callees queries don't return wrappers
Also, in go/callgraph:

1) We remove context sensitivity from API. The pointer analysis is
not sufficiently context-sensitive for the context information to
be worth exposing. (The actual analysis precision still benefits
from being context-sensitive, though.) Since all clients would
discard the context info, we now do that for them.
2) Make the graph doubly-linked. Edges are now shared by the Nodes
at both ends of the edge so it's possible to navigate more easily
(e.g. to the callers).
3) Graph and Node are now concrete, not interfaces.

Previously, each {Indirect,}Query would return a set of Pointers, one per context; now it returns (at most) one Pointer combining information from all contexts.
The old API was more faithful to the implementation concepts, but the analysis is not sufficiently context-sensitive that it makes sense: all existing clients simply throw away the context information---so now we do that for them.
(I may remove the context-sensitivity from the callgraph too, but I'll benchmark that first to see if it reduces precision.)

The Importer type has been replaced with Config and Program.
Clients populate a Config, directly or more usually via
convenience functions. They then call its Load() method to do
all of the typechecking and transitive-closure computation.
ssa.NewProgram and ssa.CreatePackages have been fused into
ssa.Create, which now cannot fail, since (*Config).Load()
reports all type errors.
Also:
- The addition of an ssa.GlobalDebug builder mode flag
eliminates a loop-over-packages repeated in many clients.
- PackageInfo.Err flag unexported. Clients never see bad infos now.
- cmd/ssadump: now only looks for func "main" in package "main".

GCImporter is used to satisfy imports.

Command set:
- what: an extremely fast query that parses a single
file and returns the AST stack, package name and the
set of query modes that apply to the current selection.
Intended for GUI tools that need to grey out UI elements.
- definition: shows the definition of an identifier.
- pointsto: the PTA features of 'describe' have been split
out into their own command.
- describe: with PTA stripped out, the cost is now bounded by
type checking.
Performance:
- The importer.Config.TypeCheckFuncBodies predicate supports
setting the 'IgnoreFuncBodies' typechecker flag on a
per-package basis. This means we can load dependencies from
source more quickly if we only need exported types.
(We avoid gcimport data because it may be absent or stale.)
This also means we can run type-based queries on packages
that aren't part of the pointer analysis scope. (Yay.)
- Modes that require only type analysis of the query package
run a "what" query first, and restrict their analysis scope
to just that package and its dependencies (sans func
bodies), making them much faster.
- We call newOracle not oracle.New in Query, so that the
'needs' bitset isn't ignored (oops!). This makes the
non-PTA queries faster.
Also:
- removed vestigial timers junk.
- pos.go: existing position utilties split out into own file.
Added parsePosFlag utility.
- numerous cosmetic tweaks.

To do in follow-ups:
- sophisticated editor integration of "what".

A DebugRef associates a source expression E with an ssa.Value
V, but until now did not record whether V was the value or the
address of E. So, we would guess from the "pointerness" of
the Value, leading to confusion in some cases, e.g.
type N *N
var n N
n = &n // lvalue and rvalue are both pointers
Now we explicitly record 'IsAddress bool' in DebugRef, and
plumb this everywhere: through (*Function).ValueForExpr and
(*Program).VarValue, all the way to forming the pointer
analysis query.
Also:
- VarValue now treats each reference to a global distinctly,
just like it does for other vars. So:
var g int
func f() {
g = 1 // VarValue(g) == Const(1:int), !isAddress
print(g) // VarValue(g) == Global(g), isAddress
}
- DebugRefs are not emitted for references to predeclared
identifiers (nil, built-in).
- DebugRefs no longer prevent lifting of an Alloc var into a
register; now we update or discard the debug info.
- TestValueForExpr: improve coverage of ssa.EnclosingFunction
by putting expectations in methods and init funcs, not just
normal funcs.
- oracle: fix golden file broken by recent
(*types.Var).IsField change.

Motivation:
Previously, we assumed that the set of types for which a
complete method set (containing all synthesized wrapper
functions) is required at runtime was the set of types
used as operands to some *ssa.MakeInterface instruction.
In fact, this is an underapproximation because types can
be derived from other ones via reflection, and some of
these may need methods. The reflect.Type API allows *T to
be derived from T, and these may have different method
sets. Reflection also allows almost any subcomponent of a
type to be accessed (with one exception: given T, defined
'type T struct{S}', you can reach S but not struct{S}).
As a result, the pointer analysis was unable to generate
all necessary constraints before running the solver,
causing a crash when reflection derives types whose
methods are unavailable. (A similar problem would afflict
an ahead-of-time compiler based on ssa. The ssa/interp
interpreter was immune only because it does not require
all wrapper methods to be created before execution
begins.)
Description:
This change causes the SSA builder to record, for each
package, the set of all types with non-empty method sets that
are referenced within that package. This set is accessed via
Packages.TypesWithMethodSets(). Program.TypesWithMethodSets()
returns its union across all packages.
The set of references that matter are:
- types of operands to some MakeInterface instruction (as before)
- types of all exported package members
- all subcomponents of the above, recursively.
This is a conservative approximation to the set of types
whose methods may be called dynamically.
We define the owning package of a type as follows:
- the owner of a named type is the package in which it is defined;
- the owner of a pointer-to-named type is the owner of that named type;
- the owner of all other types is nil.
A package must include the method sets for all types that it
owns, and all subcomponents of that type that are not owned by
another package, recursively. Types with an owner appear in
exactly one package; types with no owner (such as struct{T})
may appear within multiple packages.
(A typical Go compiler would emit multiple copies of these
methods as weak symbols; a typical linker would eliminate
duplicates.)
Also:
- go/types/typemap: implement hash function for *Tuple.
- pointer: generate nodes/constraints for all of
ssa.Program.TypesWithMethodSets().
Add rtti.go regression test.
- Add API test of Package.TypesWithMethodSets().
- Set Function.Pkg to nil (again) for wrapper functions,
since these may be shared by many packages.
- Remove a redundant logging statement.
- Document that ssa CREATE phase is in fact sequential.

The existing standalone Query function builds an importer, ssa.Program, oracle,
and query position, executes the query and returns the result.
For clients (such as Frederik Zipp's web-based github.com/fzipp/pythia tool)
that wish to load the program once and make several queries, we now expose
these as separate operations too. Here's a client, in pseudocode:
o := oracle.New(...)
for ... {
qpos := o.ParseQueryPos(...)
res := o.Query(mode, qpos)
print result
}
NB: this is a slight deoptimisation in the one-shot case since we have to
build the entire SSA program with debug info, not just the query package,
since we now don't know the query package at that time.
The 'exact' param to ParseQueryPos needs more thought since its
ideal value is a function of the query mode. This will do for now.
Details:
- expose Oracle type, New() func and Query() method.
- expose QueryPos type and ParseQueryPos func.
