godoc: declare small victory over the punched card tyranny

At least inside this one package.

It's because golang.org/x/tools/cmd/godoc no longer has CLI support
as of golang/go#25443, it is now only a web server. Luckily, browsers
that display HTML pages are not constrained to the fixed width of
punched cards. On the contrary, they seem to embrace a wide variety of
arbitrary page widths, ranging from narrow to wide. This is in part due
to the proliferation of internet access on device form factors such as
the mobile phone, tablet, laptop, and desktop.

So the punchCardWidth constant is now unused and can be removed. This
is a followup to CL 141397 that removed most of the CLI support code,
including the function comment_textFunc, which was its only user. Same
goes for containsOnlySpace.

Updates golang/go#25443

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.
