go/internal/gcimporter: update iimport.go to support type parameters

This CL pulls in the latest changes from go/internal/gcimporter, while
avoiding breaking the build on older go versions. To help maintain
compatibility with older Go versions while minimizing the diff with the
standard library importer, the internal/typeparams package was
significantly expanded.

I decided to use type aliases in the internal/typeparams package on Go
version >= go1.18, and placeholder types on Go version < go1.18. This
reduces the amount of copying needed in the APIs, though it might not be
the best decision if we ever decide to export this package.
Documentation was also updated to be more concise and specific to the Go
version being used.

In order to actually fix the x/tools Trybot for packages using generics
in the standard library, we need to switch from the 'typeparams' build
constraint to the 'go1.18' build constraint. This means if we make any
additional API changes in go/types we'll have to submit them with a
broken x/tools Trybot and then immediately fix the x/tools build.

Go Tools

PkgGoDev

This subrepository holds the source for various packages and tools that support the Go programming language.

Some of the tools, godoc and vet for example, are included in binary Go distributions.

Others, including the Go guru and the test coverage tool, can be fetched with go get.

Packages include a type-checker for Go and an implementation of the Static Single Assignment form (SSA) representation for Go programs.

Download/Install

The easiest way to install is to run go get -u golang.org/x/tools/.... You can also manually git clone the repository to $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/tools.

JS/CSS Formatting

This repository uses prettier to format JS and CSS files.

The version of prettier used is 1.18.2.

It is encouraged that all JS and CSS code be run through this before submitting a change. However, it is not a strict requirement enforced by CI.

Report Issues / Send Patches

This repository uses Gerrit for code changes. To learn how to submit changes to this repository, see https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html.

The main issue tracker for the tools repository is located at https://github.com/golang/go/issues. Prefix your issue with “x/tools/(your subdir):” in the subject line, so it is easy to find.
