ppc64{,le} processor level selection allows the compiler to generate instructions
targeting newer processors and processor-specific optimizations without breaking
compatibility with our current baseline. This feature introduces a new environment
variable, GOPPC64.
GOPPC64 is a GOARCH=ppc64{,le} specific option, for a choice between different
processor levels (i.e. Instruction Set Architecture versions) for which the
compiler will target. The default is 'power8'.

This CL documents the new binary and octal integer literals,
hexadecimal floats, generalized imaginary literals and digit
separators for all number literals in the spec.
Added empty lines between abutting paragraphs in some places
(a more thorough cleanup can be done in a separate CL).
A minor detail: A single 0 was considered an octal zero per the
syntax (decimal integer literals always started with a non-zero
digit). The new octal literal syntax allows 0o and 0O prefixes
and when keeping the respective octal_lit syntax symmetric with
all the others (binary_lit, hex_lit), a single 0 is not automatically
part of it anymore. Rather than complicating the new octal_lit syntax
to include 0 as before, it is simpler (and more natural) to accept
a single 0 as part of a decimal_lit. This is purely a notational
change.

There's a "lib/time" sub-section in the Go 1.12 relase notes that
points to a non-existent golang.org/pkg/lib/time page.
The note is about a change in the tz database in the src/lib/time

install.html still insisted that GOROOT must be set if a binary install
of Go is set up in a custom directory. However, since 1.10, this has
been unnecessary as the GOROOT will be found based on the location of
the 'go' binary being run.
Likewise, install-source.html includes an 'export GOROOT' line in a
section that only talks about explicitly setting GOARCH and GOOS, which
is optional. We don't want to have users think it is recommended to set
GOROOT here either, so remove the unnecessary line.

Most of the issues that led to the decision on #30055 were related to
incompatibility with or faulty support for RSA-PSS (#29831, #29779,
v1.5 signatures). RSA-PSS is required by TLS 1.3, but is also available
to be negotiated in TLS 1.2.
Altering TLS 1.2 behavior based on GODEBUG=tls13=1 feels surprising, so
just disable RSA-PSS entirely in TLS 1.2 until TLS 1.3 is on by default,
so breakage happens all at once.

I needed Go 1.10 to debug and fix a test failure on that Go version in
x/tools, but I forgot what the magic 'go get' command for this was.
Googling "download specific golang version" and similar keywords showed
no results, presumably because the golang.org/dl subrepo isn't
prominently recommended nor documented anywhere.
The most appropriate documentation page to add this to is doc/install,
since it goes into some detail and is well indexed. We only need a short
section to introduce the trick.
The example does mention a specific version, Go 1.10.7, but I couldn't
imagine a way to make it version-agnostic while still being clear on
what the commands effectively do.
