TODO: https://golang.org/cl/170678: add KeepAlive field to ListenConfig
The new field Transport.ForceAttemptHTTP2
controls whether HTTP/2 is enabled when a non-zero Dial, DialTLS, or DialContext
func or TLSClientConfig is provided.
When reusing HTTP/2, the Transport no longer performs unnecessary TLS handshakes.
TimeoutHandler's
ResponseWriter now implements the
Pusher and Flusher interfaces.
The new Server fields
BaseContext and
ConnContext
allow finer control over the Context values provided to requests and connections.
The new UserConfigDir function
returns the default directory to use for user-specific configuration data.
If a File is opened using the O_APPEND flag, its
WriteAt method will always return an error.
On Windows, the environment for a Cmd always inherits the
%SYSTEMROOT% value of the parent process unless the
Cmd.Env field includes an explicit value for it.
TODO: https://golang.org/cl/171337: add Value.IsZero
TODO: https://golang.org/cl/174531: MakeFunc: allow assignment conversions on values returned from the wrapped function

copy of a given string with each run of invalid UTF-8 byte sequences replaced by a given string.
Large sync.Pool no longer increase stop-the-world pause times.
Pool no longer needs to be completely repopulated after every GC. It now retains some objects across GCs,
as opposed to releasing all objects, reducing load spikes for heavy users of Pool.
