David Symonds f895b43688 vet: Rearrange checkers to use a registration system.
This removes much of the AST logic out of main.go,
and makes it easier to build custom vet binaries

The trade-off in this change is for flexibility.
There's very little change in the per-check files,
a lot less code in main.go (specifically the AST walking
logic has shrunk), and it makes it much easier to build
custom vet binaries simply by dropping new source files
in the directory.
