go/packages: work around go list behavior for missing dependencies

If go/packages.Load tries to load a package with a missing dependency, it
should not return an error, but a package with an error set on it.  This is a
workaround for go list -e -compiled (or even just go list -e) returning a
non-zero exit status for packages with missing dependencies.

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.
