encoding/xml: handle time.Time as recognized type
The long term plan is to define an interface that time.Time
can implement and that encoding/xml can call, but we are
not going to try to define that interface before Go 1.
Instead, special-case time.Time in package xml, because
it is such a fundamental type, as a stop-gap.
The eventual methods will behave this way.
Fixes#2793.

This also changes the behavior of attribute marshalling so
that strings and byte slices are marshalled even if empty.
The omitempty flag may be used to obtain the previous behavior.
Fixes#2899.

The function has a bizarre signature: it was the only public function there
that exposed the reflect package. Also, its definition is peculiar and hard to
explain. It doesn't merit being exported.
This is an API change but really, it should never have been exported and
it's certain very few programs will depend on it: it's too weird.
Fixes#2846.

Also bring the names in doc.go in line with the source.
More radical resolutions are possible but require substantial internal
changes for very little benefit. Fixing it this way lets us keep the
embedding, which has a huge simplifying effect, and guarantees
binary compatibility.
Fixes#2848.

Specifically, remove simply where it is claiming that the
code or the action to be carried out is simple, since the
reader might disagree.

Unexports runtime.MemStats and rename MemStatsType to MemStats.
The new accessor requires passing a pointer to a user-allocated
MemStats structure.

The practice encourages people to think this is the way to
create a bytes.Buffer when new(bytes.Buffer) or
just var buf bytes.Buffer work fine.
(html/token.go was missing the point altogether.)

Consequently, remove many package Makefiles,
and shorten the few that remain.
gomake becomes 'go tool make'.
Turn off test phases of run.bash that do not work,
flagged with $BROKEN. Future CLs will restore these,
but this seemed like a big enough CL already.

Marshaler has a number of open areas that need
further thought (e.g. it doesn't handle attributes,
it's supposed to handle tag names internally but has
no information to do so, etc).
We're removing it now and will bring it back with an
interface that covers these aspects, after Go 1.
Related to issue 2771, but doesn't fix it.

Includes gofix module. The only case not covered should be
xml.Unmarshal, since it remains with a similar interface, and
would require introspecting the type of its first argument
better.

Marshalling of []byte in attributes and the general
marshalling of named []byte types was fixed.
A []byte field also won't be nil if an XML element
was mapped to it, even if the element is empty.
Tests were introduced to make sure that *struct{}
fields works correctly for element presence testing.
No changes to the logic made in that regard.

Reduce it to 2^30 and add a TODO.

This CL improves the xml package in the following ways:
- makes its interface match established conventions
- brings Marshal and Unmarshal closer together
- fixes a large number of bugs and adds tests
- improves speed significantly
- organizes and simplifies the code
Fixes#2426.
Fixes#2406.
Fixes#1989.
What follows is a detailed list of those changes.
- All matching is case sensitive without special processing
to the field name or xml tag in an attempt to match them.
Customize the field tag as desired to match the correct XML
elements.
- Flags are ",flag" rather than "flag". The names "attr",
"chardata", etc, may be used to name actual XML elements.
- Overriding of attribute names is possible with "name,attr".
- Attribute fields are marshalled properly if they have
non-string types. Previously they were unmarshalled, but were
ignored at marshalling time.
- Comment fields tagged with ",comment" are marshalled properly,
rather than being marshalled as normal fields.
- The handling of the Any field has been replaced by the ",any"
flag to avoid unexpected results when using the field name for
other purposes, and has also been fixed to interact properly
with name paths. Previously the feature would not function
if any field in the type had a name path in its tag.
- Embedded struct support fixed and cleaned so it works when
marshalling and also when using field paths deeper than one level.
- Conflict reporting on field names have been expanded to cover
all fields. Previously it'd catch only conflicts of paths
deeper than one level. Also interacts correctly with embedded
structs now.
- A trailing '>' is disallowed in xml tags. It used to be
supported for removing the ambiguity between "attr" and "attr>",
but the marshalling support for that was broken, and it's now
unnecessary. Use "name" instead of "name>".
- Fixed docs to point out that a XMLName doesn't have to be
an xml.Name (e.g. a struct{} is a good fit too). The code was
already working like that.
- Fixed asymmetry in the precedence of XML element names between
marshalling and unmarshalling. Marshal would consider the XMLName
of the field type before the field tag, while unmarshalling would
do the opposite. Now both respect the tag of the XMLName field
first, and a nice error message is provided in case an attempt
is made to name a field with its tag in a way that would
conflict with the underlying type's XMLName field.
- Do not marshal broken "<???>" tags when in doubt. Use the type
name, and error out if that's not possible.
- Do not break down unmarshalling if there's an interface{} field
in a struct.
- Significant speed boost due to caching of type metadata and
overall allocation clean ups. The following timings reflect
processing of the the atom test data:
Old:
BenchmarkMarshal 50000 48798 ns/op
BenchmarkUnmarshal 5000 357174 ns/op
New:
BenchmarkMarshal 100000 19799 ns/op
BenchmarkUnmarshal 10000 128525 ns/op

Also add a byte count to the varint benchmarks - this
isn't accurate, of course, but it allows a rough comparison to
the other benchmarks.
