* Document Parse's zone interpretation.
* Add ParseInLocation (API change).
* Recognize "wrong" time zone names, like daylight savings time in winter.
* Disambiguate time zone names using offset (like winter EST vs summer EST in Sydney).
The final two are backwards-incompatible changes, but I believe
they are both buggy behavior in the Go 1.0 versions; the old results
were more wrong than the new ones.
Fixes#3604.
Fixes#3653.
Fixes#4001.

This fixes the incorrect unix timestamp of the standard time and adds
an example for (Time) Format to clarify how timezones work in format strings.
Fixes#4364.

New in Go 1 will be nanosecond precision in the result of time.Now on Linux.
This will break code that stores time in external formats at microsecond
precision, reads it back, and expects to get exactly the same time.
Code like that can be fixed by using time.Now().Round(time.Microsecond)
instead of time.Now() in those contexts.

go/doc: move Examples to go/ast
cmd/go: use go/doc to read examples
src/pkg: update examples to use new convention
This is to make whole file examples more readable. When presented as a
complete function, preceding an Example with its output is confusing.
The new convention is to put the expected output in the final comment
of the example, preceded by the string "output:" (case insensitive).
An idiomatic example looks like this:
// This example demonstrates Foo by doing bar and quux.
func ExampleFoo() {
// example body that does bar and quux
// Output:
// example output
}

This change shows all the information present
in the Time value (now including fractional seconds)
and also arranges the fields so that, within a single time zone,
string comparison and time comparison agree.
