In the binary sizes FAQ, the approximate size of a Go hello world
binary was said to be 1.5MB (it was about 1.6MB on go1.7 on
linux/amd64). Sadly, this is no longer true. A Go1.10 hello world is
2.0MB, and in 1.11 it'll be about 2.5MB.
Just say "a couple megabytes" to stop this dance.

mips64 softfloat support is based on mips implementation and introduces
new enviroment variable GOMIPS64.
GOMIPS64 is a GOARCH=mips64{,le} specific option, for a choice between
hard-float and soft-float. Valid values are 'hardfloat' (default) and
'softfloat'. It is passed to the assembler as
'GOMIPS64_{hardfloat,softfloat}'.

The example in the 'A web server' section of the effective Go document
uses Google's image charts API (at chart.apis.google.com).
The service is now deprecated (see developers.google.com/chart/image),
and visiting http://chart.apis.google.com gives a 404. The endpoint is
still active, so the Go code in the example still works, but there's
no point in making the link clickable by the user if the page returns
a 404.
Change the element to `<code>`.

The existing text makes it seem like there's no way
to use GitHub over HTTPS. There is. Explain that.
Also, the existing text suggests explicit checkout into $GOPATH,
which is not going to work in the new module world.
Drop that alternative.
Also, the existing text uses pushInsteadOf instead of insteadOf,
which would have the effect of being able to push to a private
repo but not clone it in the first place. That seems not helpful,
so suggest insteadOf instead.

I've reorganized the guide and rewritten large sections.
The structure is now more clear and logical, and can
be understood and navigated using the summary displayed at
the top of the page (before, the summary was confusing because
the guide contained H1s that were being ignored by the summary).
Both the initial onboarding process and the Gerrit
change submission process have been reworked to
include a concise checklist of steps that can be
read and understood in a few seconds, for people
that don't want or need to bother with details.
More in-depth descriptions have been moved into
separate sections, one per each checklist step.
This is by far the biggest improvement, as the previous
approach of having to read several pages just to understand
the requires steps was very scaring for beginners, in
addition of being harder to navigate.
GitHub pull requests have been integrated as a different
way to submit a change, suggested for first time contributors.
The review process has been described in more details,
documenting the workflow and the used conventions.
Most miscellanea have been moved into an "advanced
topics" chapter.
Paragraphs describing how to use git have been removed
to simplify reading. This guide should focus on Go contribution,
and not help users getting familiar with git, for which many
guides are available.

Adds the two range control actions "break" and "continue". They act the

The EBNF production
Function = Signature FunctionBody .
was used in FunctionDecl, MethodDecl, and FunctionLit, but only
for the latter it shortened the syntax slightly.
This change "inlines" Function which simplifies FunctionDecl and
MethodDecl and gets rid of the Function production.
This has no impact on the specified language. Also, the Function
production is never referred to by the prose, so it's safe to
remove it from the spec.
Finally, neither go/ast nor go/parser have a representation of
this production via a corresponding node or parse function, so
no possibly valuable documentation is lost, either.

When we introduced the notion of alias type declarations, we renamed
"named type" to "defined type" to avoid confusion with types denoted
by aliases and thus are also types with names, or "named types".
Some of the old uses of "named types" remained; this change removes
them.
Now the spec consistently uses the terms:
- "defined type" for a type declared via a type definition
- "type name" for any name denoting an (alias or defined) type
- "alias" for a type name declared in an alias declaration
New prose is encouraged to avoid the term "named type" to counter-
act further confusion.
