a2a2c5b947 doc: update unsafe.Pointer rule in spec
The valid conversions consider the core types of operands, not just
their underlying type.

This also explains the valid arguments for unsafe.Slice which are
explained in terms of unsafe.Pointer conversions.

unsafe.SliceData simply refers to "slice argument" and we use
similar terminology elsewhere in the spec to denote values that
have a core type of slice (or any other type for that matter).
Leaving alone for now.

Fixes #64452.

856cf23a8a spec: specify evaluation order for binary logical operations
This CL clarifies the order of evaluation of the binary logical
operators, && and ||. The clarified semantics matches what cmd/compile
and x/tools/go/ssa already implement, and prohibit some optimizations
that are arguably allowed today but risk surprising users.

First, it specifies that the left operand is evaluated before the
right operand. This prohibits "(f() || true) && *p" from evaluating
"*p" before "f()".

Second, it specifies that binary logical operations are also ordered
lexically left-to-right with regard to function calls and receive
operations. This prohibits "h(*p || true || f(), g())" from evaluating
"*p" after "g()".

Finally, the "order of evaluation of [...] is not specified" wording
in the example is clarified to acknowledge that there are still some
other orderings that are implied lexically; e.g., x must be evaluated
and indexed before g(), and z now must be evaluated before h(). (Note:
Whether z is evaluated before or after f() remains unspecified, as
there's no lexical dependency.)

require that. This CL makes it clear that it must not evaluate to
[]byte(nil), which otherwise was allowed by the wording.

aa51c40b1c runtime: replace panic(nil) with panic(new(runtime.PanicNilError))
Long ago we decided that panic(nil) was too unlikely to bother
making a special case for purposes of recover. Unfortunately,
it has turned out not to be a special case. There are many examples
of code in the Go ecosystem where an author has written panic(nil)
because they want to panic and don't care about the panic value.

Using panic(nil) in this case has the unfortunate behavior of
making recover behave as though the goroutine isn't panicking.
As a result, code like:

	func f() {
		defer func() {
			if err := recover(); err != nil {
				log.Fatalf("panicked! %v", err)
			}
		}()
		call1()
		call2()
	}

looks like it guarantees that call2 has been run any time f returns,
but that turns out not to be strictly true. If call1 does panic(nil),
then f returns "successfully", having recovered the panic, but
without calling call2.

Instead you have to write something like:

	func f() {
		done := false
		defer func() {
			if err := recover(); !done {
				log.Fatalf("panicked! %v", err)
			}
		}()
		call1()
		call2()
		done = true
	}

which defeats nearly the whole point of recover. No one does this,
with the result that almost all uses of recover are subtly broken.

One specific broken use along these lines is in net/http, which
recovers from panics in handlers and sends back an HTTP error.
Users discovered in the early days of Go that panic(nil) was a
convenient way to jump out of a handler up to the serving loop
without sending back an HTTP error. This was a bug, not a feature.
Go 1.8 added panic(http.ErrAbortHandler) as a better way to access the feature.
Any lingering code that uses panic(nil) to abort an HTTP handler
without a failure message should be changed to use http.ErrAbortHandler.

Programs that need the old, unintended behavior from net/http
or other packages can set GODEBUG=panicnil=1 to stop the run-time error.

Uses of recover that want to detect panic(nil) in new programs
can check for recover returning a value of type *runtime.PanicNilError.

Because the new GODEBUG is used inside the runtime, we can't
import internal/godebug, so there is some new machinery to
cross-connect those in this CL, to allow a mutable GODEBUG setting.
That won't be necessary if we add any other mutable GODEBUG settings
in the future. The CL also corrects the handling of defaulted GODEBUG
values in the runtime, for #56986.

Fixes #25448.

72fdecafc0 spec: add a link to Allocation section in section on append built-in
If needed, the built-in function append allocates a new underlying
array. While we (probably) don't want to specify exactly how much
is allocated (the prose is deliberately vague), if there's more
space allocated than needed (cap > len after allocation), that
extra space is zeroed. Use an explicit link to the section on
Allocation which explicitly states that newly allocated memory
is zeroed.

753ad5e1d5 spec: document that trailing comma is valid after index in index expressions
At parse time we don't know if a[i] is an index expression or a
type (or function) instantiation. Because instantiations accept
a list of type arguments, and argument lists permit a trailing
comma, a[i,] is either an instantiation or index expression.

Document that a trailing comma is permitted in the syntax for
index expressions.

For comparison, the same problem arises with conversions which
cannot be distinguished from function calls at parse time. The
spec also permits a trailing comma for conversions T(x,). The
grammar adjustment is the same (see line 5239).

Fixes #55007.
