b817e97961 change code font to "monospace", which will 
let the browser use the font the user has set up
as the default fixed-width font, instead of forcing Courier.

also set the size to 100%, which means 100% of the
font size in the surrounding text.  this looks a little
better in the main body but much better when the
code is in a heading (like Package unsafe).

698c6c00a0 A step towards "externalizing" some Go docs. 
+ style sheet: like code.google.com but less feature-ful
+ JS with table-of-contents generation
+ tweaked go_spec.html and go_mem.html to use new style+JS
+ static-HTML-ified a few other Go docs:
  + static HTML versions of some wiki pages (which I'll turn
    into links to these pages).

A notable thing that is _not_ in this changelist: any change
to the godoc tool or whatever thing generates http://go/godoc

a0bcaf4c00 Change os.Error convention: 
echo back context of call in error if likely to be useful.

For example, if os.Open("/etc/passwd", os.O_RDONLY)
fails with syscall.EPERM, it returns as the os.Error

	&PathError{
		Op: "open",
		Path: "/etc/passwd"
		Error: os.EPERM
	}

which formats as

	open /etc/passwd: permission denied

Not converted:

60ce95d7a1 code changes for array conversion. 
as a reminder, the old conversion
was that you could write

	var arr [10]byte;
	var slice []byte;
	slice = arr;

but now you have to write

	slice = &arr;

the change eliminates an implicit &, so that
the only implicit &s left are in the . operator
and in string(arr).

also, removed utf8.EncodeRuneToString
in favor of string(rune).

a329471ced A first attempt to capture the type changes. 
Instead of trying to make open arrays look like arrays (which they aren't,
they just look like them), I decided to call them "slice types". As a result
they have value semantics, and one can really talk about what they really are.

Note:
- There are lots of missing details
- There are probably lots of mistakes

Looking for some initial feedback.

4d23030859 - ripped out excessively fancy way of describing grammar
