Both gc and gccgo always checked this for constant
expressions but the spec only mentions run-time
exceptions.
This CL also requires that constant divisors
must not be zero in non-constant integer expressions:
This is consistent with the spirit of the most
recent changes and it is consistent with constant
expressions. We don't want to specify the effect for
non-integer expressions (f/0.0 where f is a float or
complex number) because there the result f/g is not
further specified if a non-constant g is 0.

This is a language change: Until now, the spec required run-
time panics for some of these errors. Note that gc and gccgo
implemented this inconsistently, and that both compilers already
reported compile-time errors in some cases. This change makes
make() behave along the same vein as index expressions.
This addresses the spec aspect of issue 4085.

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.

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).

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.
