Rob Pike ecead89be9 go/types: remove the renaming import of go/constant
For niceness, when go/exact was moved from x/tools, it
was renamed go/constant.

For simplicity, when go/types was moved from x/tools, its
imports of (now) go/constant were done with a rename:

    import exact "go/constant"

This kept the code just as it was before and avoided the issue
of what to call the internal constant called, um, constant.

But not all was hidden, as the text of some fields of structs and
the like leaked the old name, so things like "exact.Value" appeared
in type definitions and function signatures in the documentation.
This is unacceptable.

Fix the documentation issue by fixing the code. Rename the constant
constant constant_, and remove the renaming import.

This should go into 1.5. It's mostly a mechanical change, is
internal to the package, and fixes the documentation. It contains
no semantic changes except to fix a benchmark that was broken
in the original transition.

Fixes #11949.

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 file). 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-source.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 https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
