To allow these types as map keys, we must fill in
equal and hash functions in their algorithm tables.
Structs or arrays that are "just memory", like [2]int,
can and do continue to use the AMEM algorithm.
Structs or arrays that contain special values like
strings or interface values use generated functions
for both equal and hash.
The runtime helper func runtime.equal(t, x, y) bool handles
the general equality case for x == y and calls out to
the equal implementation in the algorithm table.
For short values (<= 4 struct fields or array elements),
the sequence of elementwise comparisons is inlined
instead of calling runtime.equal.

All but 3 cases (in gcimporter.go and hixie.go)
are automatic conversions using gofix.
No attempt is made to use the new Append functions
even though there are definitely opportunities.

This is the result of running `gofix -r hashsum` over the tree, changing
the hash function implementations by hand and then fixing a couple of
instances where gofix didn't catch something.
The changed implementations are as simple as possible while still
working: I'm not trying to optimise in this CL.

The wrong value made Nconv() show "1" for node "-1", and "2" from
node "2+3".

The allowed conversions before and after are:
type Tstring string
type Tbyte []byte
type Trune []rune
string <-> string // ok
string <-> []byte // ok
string <-> []rune // ok
string <-> Tstring // ok
string <-> Tbyte // was illegal, now ok
string <-> Trune // was illegal, now ok
Tstring <-> string // ok
Tstring <-> []byte // ok
Tstring <-> []rune // ok
Tstring <-> Tstring // ok
Tstring <-> Tbyte // was illegal, now ok
Tstring <-> Trune // was illegal, now ok
Update spec, compiler, tests. Use in a few packages.
We agreed on this a few months ago but never implemented it.
Fixes#1707.

An experiment: allow structs to be copied even if they
contain unexported fields. This gives packages the
ability to return opaque values in their APIs, like reflect
does for reflect.Value but without the kludgy hacks reflect
resorts to.
In general, we trust programmers not to do silly things
like *x = *y on a package's struct pointers, just as we trust
programmers not to do unicode.Letter = unicode.Digit,
but packages that want a harder guarantee can introduce
an extra level of indirection, like in the changes to os.File
in this CL or by using an interface type.
All in one CL so that it can be rolled back more easily if
we decide this is a bad idea.

Allow any type in switch on interface value.
Statically check typeswitch early.

This contains the files that required handiwork, mostly
Makefiles with updated TARGs, plus the two packages
with modified package names.
html/template/doc.go needs a separate edit pass.
test/fixedbugs/bug358.go is not legal go so gofix fails on it.

I have a test, but not sure if it's worth adding. Instead i've made
the patching-over in reflect.c methods more fatal and more descriptive.
