[dev.boringcrypto] cmd/compile: hide new boring fields from reflection This is terrible but much simpler, cleaner, and more effective than all the alternatives I have come up with. Lots of code assumes that reflect.DeepEqual is meaningful on rsa.PublicKey etc, because previously they consisted only of exported meaningful fields. Worse, there exists code that assumes asn1.Marshal can be passed an rsa.PublicKey, because that struct has historically matched exactly the form that would be needed to produce the official ASN.1 DER encoding of an RSA public key. Instead of tracking down and fixing all of that code (and probably more), we can limit the BoringCrypto-induced damage by ensliting the compiler to hide the new field from reflection. Then nothing can get at it and nothing can be disrupted by it. Kill two birds with one cannon ball. I'm very sorry.
