While we're at it, clean up and test the code to guarantee we see every byte when
the text is erroneous UTF-8.
Fixes#866.

This shortens, simplifies and regularizes the code significantly.
(Improvements to reflect could make another step.)
Passes all.bash.
One semantic change occurs: The String() method changes
behavior. It used to run only for string formats such as %s and %q.
Instead, it now runs whenever the item has the method and the
result is then processed by the format as a string. Besides the
regularization, this has three effects:
1) width is honored for String() items
2) %x works for String() items
3) implementations of String that merely recur will recur forever
Regarding point 3, example from the updated documentation:
type X int
func (x X) String() string { return Sprintf("%d", x) }
should cast the value before recurring:
func (x X) String() string { return Sprintf("%d", int(x)) }

Also fix an interface bug: white-space-delimited doesn't work well for cases like "%d, %d" on "23, 23")

- implement scanning for all renamed types
(compiler bug stops complex from being renamable,
so it can't be tested but the code is there)
- %q %x for strings
- error handling now done with panic/recover

- reimplement integer scanning to handle renamed basic integer types
- start implementation of Fscanf and Scanf; not yet ready for general use.
This intermediate CL is a useful checkpoint. A similar change needs to be
done for float and complex, but it seemed worth getting the approach
reviewed before making those changes.

Still to do:
- composite types
- user-defined scanners
- format-driven scanning
The package comment will be updated when more of the functionality is in place.
