go/packages: remove the Config.Error hook

Errors relating to a particular package (as opposed to the Load
operation as a whole) are now only recorded in the Errors
field of the corresponding Package.
Clients are responsible for printing or otherwise handling errors.
This is a breaking API change.

The PrintErrors function prints all accumulated errors,
dependencies first, and is provided for convenience.

PrintErrors is based on Visit, another helper function, which
visits each Package in an import graph.

Also:
- add an Example documenting typical use.
- update clients to handle errors explicitly.

Depends on https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/tools/+/130576

Go Tools

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.
