of type identity, assignability, definitions of methods.

Merging a couple of CLs into one, since they collided in my client
and I'm lazy.

1) Fix up output in "go test -cover" case.
We need to tell the testing package the name of the package being tested
and the name of the package being covered. It can then sort out the report.

2) Filter out the _test.go files from coverage processing. We want to measure
what the tests cover, not what's covered in the tests,
The coverage for encoding/gob goes from 82.2% to 88.4%.
There may be a cleaner way to do this - suggestions welcome - but ça suffit.

CL 10869046 changed cmd/go to checkout master branch, so

This CL provides stable in-place sorting by use of
bottom up merge sort with in-place merging done by
the SymMerge algorithm from P.-S. Kim and A. Kutzner.

The additional space needed for stable sorting (in the form of
stack space) is logarithmic in the inputs size n.
Number of calls to Less and Swap grow like O(n * log n) and
O(n * log n * log n):
Stable sorting random data uses significantly more calls
to Swap than the unstable quicksort implementation (5 times more
on n=100, 10 times more on n=1e4 and 23 times more on n=1e8).
The number of calls to Less is practically the same for Sort and
Stable.

Stable sorting 1 million random integers takes 5 times longer
than using Sort.
