godoc: Allow examples for methods.

An example for a method M() of type T can be written as
func ExampleT_M() { ... }.
To differentiate between multiple examples for one function, type or
method a suffix with a lowercase start may be appended to the name
of the example function, e.g. ExampleFoo_basicUsage.

Fixes #2465.

Multiple example functions may be provided for a given name XXX if they are
discriminated by a distinct suffix starting with "_", such as ExampleXXX_2.
The following naming conventions are used to declare examples for a function F,
a type T and method M on type T:
func ExampleF() { ... } and func ExampleF_suffix() { ... }
func ExampleT() { ... } and func ExampleT_suffix() { ... }
func ExampleT_M() { ... } and func ExampleT_M_suffix() { ... }
Multiple example functions may be provided by appending a distinct suffix
to the name. The suffix must start with a lowercase letter.
Example functions without doc comments are compiled but not executed.
See the documentation of the testing package for more information.
