This rule not existing has been the source of many discussions
on golang-dev and on issues. We have stated publicly that it is
true, but we have never written it down. Write it down.
Fixes#6242.

At the moment, godoc expands the example in the link, but in
the past it has not. Add a waffle word to allow either possibility.
Also change the order of cases in the switch in Compare to
be consistent with the other switch in the function.

This fixes two intra-page "type assertion" links that were broken in
different ways.

It's a common mistake to build a recursive String method; explain it well and
show how to avoid it.

Drop the phrase "reference types", which has caused confusion.
Add a section about 2D arrays, a common newbie question.

When I was a lad (and well past), users were in /usr;
now they're somewhere else, I'm told.

cgo[1-4].go, go1.go couldn't be tested now
(cgo[1-4].go can only be tested when cgo is enabled, go1.go
contain a list of filenames in the current directory)

The '...' was missing on a call to fmt.Sprintf() which would result in
the slice being printed instead of the correct result.

Also explain the situation with recursive String methods more accurately,
and clean up the code now that the fmt package is more careful.

doc: convert to use godoc built-in templates
tmpltohtml is gone, to avoid having a second copy of the code.
Instead, godoc -url /doc/go1.html will print the actual HTML
served for that URL. "make" will generate files named go1.rawhtml
etc, which can be fed through tidy.
It can be hard to tell from the codereview diffs, but all the
tmpl files have been renamed to be html files and then
have "Template": true added.
