Marshaler has a number of open areas that need
further thought (e.g. it doesn't handle attributes,
it's supposed to handle tag names internally but has
no information to do so, etc).

We're removing it now and will bring it back with an
interface that covers these aspects, after Go 1.

Related to issue 2771, but doesn't fix it.

Includes gofix module. The only case not covered should be
xml.Unmarshal, since it remains with a similar interface, and
would require introspecting the type of its first argument
better.

The bitLen function currently shifts out blocks of 8 bits at a time.
This change replaces this sorta-linear algorithm with a log(N)
one (shift out 16 bits, then 8, then 4, then 2, then 1).
I left the start of it linear at 16 bits at a time so that
the function continues to work with 32 or 64 bit values
without any funkiness.
The algorithm is similar to several of the nlz ("number of
leading zeros") algorithms from "Hacker's Delight" or the
"bit twiddling hacks" pages.

Doesn't make a big difference to the existing benchmarks, but
I'm using the code in a different context that calls bitLen
much more often, so it seemed worthwhile making the existing
codebase faster so that it's a better building block.

Move error information into Package struct, so that
a package can be returned even if a dependency failed
to load or did not exist.  This makes it possible to run
'go fix' or 'go fmt' on packages with broken dependencies
or missing imports.  It also enables go get -fix.
The new go list -e flag lets go list process those package
errors as normal data.

Change p.Doc to be first sentence of package doc, not
entire package doc.  Makes go list -json or
go list -f '{{.ImportPath}} {{.Doc}}' much more reasonable.

The go tool now depends on http, which means also
net and crypto/tls, both of which use cgo.  Trying to
make the build scripts that build the go tool understand
and handle cgo is too much work.  Instead, we build
a stripped down version of the go tool, compiled as go_bootstrap,
that substitutes an error stub for the usual HTTP code.
The buildscript builds go_bootstrap, go_bootstrap builds
the standard packages and commands, including the full
including-HTTP-support go tool, and then go_bootstrap
gets deleted.

Also handle the case where the buildscript needs updating
during all.bash: if it fails but a go command can be found on
the current $PATH, try to regenerate it.  This gracefully
handles situations like adding a new file to a package
used by the go tool.

This lets the client of go/build specify additional tags that
can be recognized in a // +build directive.  For example,
a build for a custom environment like App Engine might
include "appengine" in the BuildTags list, so that packages
can be written with some files saying

        // +build appengine   (build only on app engine)

or

        // +build !appengine  (build only when NOT on app engine)

App Engine here is just a hypothetical context.  I plan to use
this in the cmd/go sources to distinguish the bootstrap version
of cmd/go (which will not use networking) from the full version
using a custom tag.  It might also be useful in App Engine.

Also, delete Build and Script, which we did not end up using for
cmd/go and which never got turned on for real in goinstall.
