(*CallCommon).Signature() now returns non-nil even for
built-ins. Builtins are now created with specialized types for
each use. Added sanity-check.
CallCommon.HasEllipsis field eliminated. It was an incorrect
memoization of Signature().IsVariadic() used only for
printing.
Also: introduce and use newTypeVar utility.

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.

It is needed after all, as I discovered in the pointer analysis.
(ssa needs more API test coverage.)
Also:
- sanity: remove debugging cruft
- promote: don't redundantly include the function's
own name in its Synthetic string.
- print: IntuitiveMethodSet utility fixes a bug in the
printing logic (for interface types, mset(*T) is empty).
The function is also used by the Oracle.

Fix bug: the Signature for an interface method wrapper
erroneously had a non-nil receiver.
Function:
- Set Pkg field non-nil even for wrappers.
It is equal to that of the wrapped function.
Only wrappers of error.Error
(and its embeddings in other interfaces) may have nil.
Sanity checker now asserts this.
- FullName() now uses .Synthetic field to discriminate
synthetic methods, not Pkg==nil.
- Fullname() uses new relType() utility to print receiver type
name unqualified if it belongs to the same package.
(Alloc.String also uses relType utility.)
CallCommon:
- Description(): fix switch logic broken when we
eliminated the Recv field.
- better docs.

stdlib_test runs the builder (in sanity-checking mode) over
the Go standard library. It also prints some stats about
the time and memory usage.
Also:
- importer.LoadPackage too (not just doImport) must consult
the cache to avoid creating duplicate Package instances for
the same import path when called serially from a test.
- importer: skip empty directories without an error.
- importer: print all errors, not just the first.
- visit.go: added AllFunctions utility for enumerating all
Functions in a Program.
- ssa.MethodSet is not safe to expose from the package since
it must be accessed under an (inaccessible) lock. (!!!)
This CL makes it unexported and restricts its use to the
single function Program.LookupMethod().
- Program.MethodSet() has gone.
Clients should instead iterate over the types.MethodSet
and call LookupMethod.
- Package.DumpTo(): improved efficiency of methodset printing
(by not creating wrappers) and accuracy (by showing * on
receiver type only when necessary).
- Program.CreatePackage: documented precondition and added
assertion.

buildDecl was visiting all decls in source order, but the spec
calls for visiting all vars and init() funcs in order, then
all remaining functions. These two passes are now called
buildInit(), buildFuncDecl().

We now use LookupFieldOrMethod for all SelectorExprs, and
simplify the logic to discriminate the various cases.
We inline static calls to promoted/indirected functions,
dramatically reducing the number of functions created.
More tests are needed, but I'd like to submit this as-is.
In this CL, we:
- rely less on Id strings. Internally we now use
*types.Method (and its components) almost everywhere.
- stop thinking of types.Methods as objects. They don't
have stable identities. (Hopefully they will become
plain-old structs soon.)
- eliminate receiver indirection wrappers:
indirection and promotion are handled together by makeWrapper.
- Handle the interactions of promotion, indirection and
abstract methods much more cleanly.
- support receiver-bound interface method closures.
- break up builder.selectField so we can re-use parts
(emitFieldSelection).
- add importer.PackageInfo.classifySelector utility.
- delete interfaceMethodIndex()
- delete namedTypeMethodIndex()
- delete isSuperInterface() (replaced by types.IsAssignable)
- call memberFromObject on each declared concrete method's
*types.Func, not on every Method frem each method set, in the
CREATE phase for packages loaded by gcimporter.
go/types:
- document Func, Signature.Recv() better.
- use fmt in {Package,Label}.String
- reimplement Func.String to be prettier and to include method
receivers.
API changes:
- Function.method now holds the types.Method (soon to be
not-an-object) for synthetic wrappers.
- CallCommon.Method now contains an abstract (interface)
method object; was an abstract method index.
- CallCommon.MethodId() gone.
- Program.LookupMethod now takes a *Method not an Id string.

Before, all values received on some channel by Select would
flow to an empty interface, creating a spurious confluence for
flow analyses. Now, the tuple returned by Select has one
component for each 'receive' case.
Also, fixes:
- Removed workarounds for now-fixed typechecker bug in FuncLit+TypeAssert.
- sanity check that all Value Instructions have non-nil Type().
- Convert: document and sanity-check that at least one of the types is basic.
Also, other things to help clients:
- Define CallInstruction interface: common parts of Call, Go, Defer.
- Add CallCommon.Signature() method.
- Literal.Pos() is now populated.

methodIndex() utility was split and specialized to its two
cases, *Interface vs *Named, which are logically quite
different.
We can't memoize promotion wrappers yet; we need typemap.

Method sets:
- Simplify CallCommon.
Avoid the implicit copy when calling a T method on a *T
receiver. This simplifies clients. Instead we generate
"indirection wrapper" functions that do this (like gc does).
New invariant:
m's receiver type is exactly T for all m in MethodSet(T)
- MakeInterface no longer holds the concrete type's MethodSet.
We can defer its computation this way.
- ssa.Type now just wraps a types.TypeName object.
MethodSets are computed as needed, not eagerly.
Position info:
- new CanonicalPos utility maps ast.Expr to canonical
token.Pos, as returned by {Instruction,Value}.Pos() methods.
- Don't set posn for implicit operations (e.g. varargs array alloc)
- Set position info for ChangeInterface and Slice instructions.
Cosmetic:
- add Member.Token() method
- simplify isPointer
- Omit words "interface", "slice" when printing MakeInterface,
MakeSlice; the type is enough.
- Comments on PathEnclosingInterval.
- Remove Function.FullName() where implicit String() suffices.
Also:
- Exposed NewLiteral to clients.
- Added ssa.Instruction.Parent() *Function
Added ssa.BasicBlock.Parent() *Function.
Added Sanity checks for above.

PLEASE NOTE: the APIs for both "importer" and "ssa" packages
will continue to evolve and both need some polishing; the key
thing is that this CL splits them.
The go.types/importer package contains contains the Importer,
which takes care of the mechanics of loading a set of packages
and type-checking them. It exposes for each package a
PackageInfo containing:
- the package's ASTs (i.e. the input to the typechecker)
- the types.Package object
- the memoization of the typechecker callbacks for identifier
resolution, constant folding and expression type inference.
Method-set computation (and hence bridge-method creation) is
now moved to after creation of all packages: since they are no
longer created in topological order, we can't guarantee the
needed delegate methods exist yet.
ssa.Package no longer has public TypeOf, ObjectOf, ValueOf methods.
The private counterparts are valid only during the build phase.
Also:
- added to go/types an informative error (not crash) for an
importer() returning nil without error.
- removed Package.Name(), barely needed.
- changed Package.String() slightly.
- flag what looks like a bug in makeBridgeMethod. Will follow up.

Extracted Builder.findMethod function to handle
methodset/receiver logic common to
function calls (Builder.setCall) and
bound method closure creation (Builder.selector).
Capture: added explicit Name, Type fields to Capture instead
of relying on Outer field, which is now un-exported since its
only purpose is to let Builder.expr(case *ast.FuncLit) know
which values to put in the closure; it is nilled immediately
after.
Simplified Function.lookup() logic: there's no need to walk
the Outer chain each time to set Alloc.Heap=true, as it's
already set during creation of the outermost
Capture{outer:*Alloc}.
Added interp/testdata/boundmeth.go test.
Cosmetic changes:
- add support for bound method thunks to Function.FullName().
- Simplified {Literal,Global,Builtin,Function}.String()
- doc: Captures are no longer necessarily addresses.
- added yet another missing pair of "()" (go/types accessors).
- print "Synthetic" not "Declared at -" for synthetic functions.
- use '$' not center-dot in synthetic identifiers (easier to type).
