Other wordings are possible but defining this as one
of the ways to proceed means we don't have to add
language about this to the description of select.

Issue 2856 asks for a rename of a few methods to a
more idiomatic Go style. This is a very early API
that evolved organically throughout the years.
Together with the fact that ErrorVectors were embedded
in other data structures (e.g. Parser), just renaming
methods (e.g. GetError -> Error) would lead to undesired
behavior (e.g., Parser would act like an Error). Instead,
cleaned up API a bit more:

- removed ErrorVector in favor of ErrorList (already
present)
- simplified Scanner.Init by making the error handler a
function instead of requiring an ErrorHandler implementation
- adjusted helper functions accordingly
- updated Go 1 doc

Fixes #2856.

Otherwise, the registration semantics are
init-order-dependent, which I was trying very hard
to avoid in the API.  This may break broken programs.

This changes makes constant propagation compare 'from' values using node
pointers rather than symbol names when checking to see whether a set
operation is redundant. When a function is inlined multiple times in a
calling function its arguments will share symbol names even though the values
are different. Prior to this fix the bug409 test would hit a case with 6g
where an LEAQ instruction was incorrectly eliminated from the second inlined
function call. 8g appears to have had the same bug, but the test did not fail
there.

encoding/xml: handle time.Time as recognized type

The long term plan is to define an interface that time.Time
can implement and that encoding/xml can call, but we are
not going to try to define that interface before Go 1.
Instead, special-case time.Time in package xml, because
it is such a fundamental type, as a stop-gap.
The eventual methods will behave this way.

The function has a bizarre signature: it was the only public function there
that exposed the reflect package. Also, its definition is peculiar and hard to
explain. It doesn't merit being exported.

This is an API change but really, it should never have been exported and
it's certain very few programs will depend on it: it's too weird.
