22ba3f367cb7983f78ca68a0be06b92c5d316797 go/gcimporter15: pretend blank fields have same owner
The export data formats (text and binary) emitted by gc in Go 1.7 did
not record the package that "owns" each blank field, even though blank
is an unexported identifier. Before, gcimporter would assume the
package of the export data file owns blank fields within it, even
blank fields reexported from another package. As a result, identical
types would become nonidentical during reexporting.
For bug compatibility with gc, gcimporter now treats blank fields as
if they all belong to the same dummy package, avoiding spurious "can't
assign A to B" errors in tools based on go/types.
