go/analysis/passes/atomicalign: add atomicalign ckecker

The atomicalign Analyzer checks the alignment of 64-bits variables
accessed atomically via sync/atomic functions on 32-bits
architectures. Per the sync/atomic BUG note those variables must
be 64-bits aligned, otherwise a runtime panic is issued.

The analyzer only shows and runs on 32-bits architectures.

This CL should not introduce any false positives.

Add some tests in testdata/src/a to verify the analyzer behavior
on affected architectures plus some very basic test to verify that
no warning is generated on non-affected ones.

Fixes golang/go#11891

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.
