go/packages: use effective GOARCH to determine type size function

The typechecker's Sizes function is not currently set correctly.
The correct answer requires information known only to the build
system's query tool (go list, blaze query, etc), and we need to
add a mechanism for it to return this information.

In the meantime, we use this simple workaround: if the GOARCH
environment variable is set, we use that to determine sizes according
to the conventions of gc. Otherwise, we use the architecture for which
the application was compiled. Both could easily be incorrect, but this
is nonetheless progress.

This change should fix the tests of go/analysis/passes/shift,
which are currently broken for GOARCH=386 because the analysistest
driver uses go/packages, which ignores GOARCH.

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.
