There were multiple ad hoc ways to create method symbols, with subtle
and confusing differences between them. This CL unifies them into a
single well-documented encoding and implementation.
This introduces some inconsequential changes to symbol format for the
sake of simplicity and consistency. Two notable changes:
1) Symbol construction is now insensitive to the package currently
being compiled. Previously, non-exported methods on anonymous types
received different method symbols depending on whether the method was
local or imported.
2) Symbols for method values parenthesized non-pointer receiver types
and non-exported method names, and also always package-qualified
non-exported method names. Now they use the same rules as normal
method symbols.
The methodSym function is also now stricter about rejecting
non-sensical method/receiver combinations. Notably, this means that
typecheckfunc needs to call addmethod to validate the method before
calling declare, which also means we no longer emit errors about
redeclaring bogus methods.

The test directory contains tests of the Go tool chain and runtime.
It includes black box tests, regression tests, and error output tests.
They are run as part of all.bash.
To run just these tests, execute:
../bin/go run run.go
Standard library tests should be written as regular Go tests in the appropriate package.
The tool chain and runtime also have regular Go tests in their packages.
The main reasons to add a new test to this directory are:
it is most naturally expressed using the test runner; or
it is also applicable to gccgo and other Go tool chains.
