text/template: provide a mechanism for options
Add one option, which is the motivating example, a way to control what happens when a map is indexed with a key that is not in the map. Rather than do something specific for that case, we provide a simple general option mechanism to avoid adding API if something else comes up. This general approach also makes it easy for html/template to track (and adapt, should that become important). New method: Option(option string...). The option strings are key=value pairs or just simple strings (no =). New option: missingkey: Control the behavior during execution if a map is indexed with a key that is not present in the map. "missingkey=default" or "missingkey=invalid" The default behavior: Do nothing and continue execution. If printed, the result of the index operation is the string "<no value>". "missingkey=zero" The operation returns the zero value for the map type's element. "missingkey=error" Execution stops immediately with an error. Fixes #6288.
