Russ Cox 1e480cd1ad gc: add -p flag to catch import cycles earlier
The linker would catch them if gc succeeded,
but too often the cycle manifests as making the
current package and the imported copy of itself
appear as different packages, which result in
type signature mismatches that confuse users.

As a crutch, add the -p flag to say 'if you see an
import of this package, give up early'.  Results in
messages like (during gotest in sort):

export_test.go:7: import "sort" while compiling that package (import cycle)
export_test.go:7: import "container/heap": package depends on "sort" (import cycle)

Fixes #2042.

This is the source code repository for the Go programming language.  

For documentation about how to install and use Go,
visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install.html in your web browser.

After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted
doc/install.html by running godoc --http=:6060
and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install.html.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README).  You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:

    export GOROOT=$HOME/go
    export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See doc/install.html for more details.
