internal/lsp/source: improve completion in type assertions

In cases like:

var foo *someType = bar.(some<>)

We will now complete "some" to "*someType". This involved two changes:

1. Properly detect expected type as *someType in above example. To do
   this I just removed *ast.TypeAssertExpr from
   breaksExpectedTypeInference() so we continue searching up the AST for
   the expected type.

2. If the given type name T doesn't match, also try *T. If *T does
   match, we mark the candidate as "makePointer=true" so we know to
   prepend the "*" when formatting the candidate.

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.
