* Code for assignment, conversions now mirrors spec.
* Changed some snprint -> smprint.
* Renamed runtime functions to separate
  interface conversions from type assertions:
  convT2I, assertI2T, etc.
* Correct checking of \U sequences.

Fixes #840.
Fixes #830.

(caused certain files to not be idempotent under gofmt)

- corrected golden files for go/printer
- slightly simplified some code in nodes.go (no impact on formatting)
- these changes have no impact on gofmt output of .go files under src, misc

fallthrough statement considered harmful!

Specifically:
- introduced notion of "underlying type"
- removed notion of type compatibility
- consolidated rules about assignment compatibility in
  assignment compatibility section
- be consistent with specyfing that nil is the value
  for uninitialized variables that can be nil (this
  was not specified clearly for pointers, functions, interfaces)
- added/fixed various related links throughout
- clarify language on conversions

Time (us) to draw a 200x200 src onto an image.RGBA dst with the Over
operator. Each case was measured three separate times, and the sorted
times are reported.

Fill case (where src is an image.ColorImage):
Before:
7438, 7511, 7526
After:
3073, 3087, 3102

Copy case (where src is an image.RGBA):
Before:
9506, 9510, 9563
After:
5262, 5300, 5344

Specifically:
- Simplified definition of comparison compatibility and folded into
  section on comparison operators since it's only used there.

This is a small language change/cleanup. As a consequence:
- An interface value may now be compared against a non-interface value.
- Channels with opposite directions cannot be compared directly anymore
  (per discussion with rsc).

    charclass to avoid unnecessarily iterating over ranges.
    Also, use the fact that IntVector is an []int to avoid method calls.
    On my machine, this brings us from ~27500 ns/op to ~17500 ns/op in the benchmark I've added (it is also faster in the case where a range check
    doesn't help, added a benchmark for this too.)

    I'd also like to propose that "[]", and "[^]" be disallowed. They aren't useful as far as I can tell, they aren't widely supported, and they make reasoning about character classes a bit more complicated.
