Revert "cmd/stringer: reject Go 1.8 type aliases"

This reverts commit 9a286cdc334bcda1296aaa1c8cc85c2d5d64dac7.

Reason for revert: go1.8 code in a go1.7 file.

+// Stringer is a tool to automate the creation of methods that satisfy the fmt.Stringer

+//	func (t T) String() string
+// The file is created in the same package and directory as the package that defines T.
+// It has helpful defaults designed for use with go generate.
+//
+// Stringer works best with constants that are consecutive values such as created using iota,
+// but creates good code regardless. In the future it might also provide custom support for
+// constant sets that are bit patterns.
+//
+// For example, given this snippet,
+//
+//	package painkiller
+//
+//	type Pill int
+//
+//	const (
+//		Placebo Pill = iota
+//		Aspirin
+//		Ibuprofen
+//		Paracetamol
+//		Acetaminophen = Paracetamol
+//	)
+//
+// running this command
+//
+//	stringer -type=Pill
+//
+// in the same directory will create the file pill_string.go, in package painkiller,
+// containing a definition of
+//
+//	func (Pill) String() string
+//
+// That method will translate the value of a Pill constant to the string representation
+// of the respective constant name, so that the call fmt.Print(painkiller.Aspirin) will
+// print the string "Aspirin".
+//
+// Typically this process would be run using go generate, like this:
+//
+//	//go:generate stringer -type=Pill
+//
+// If multiple constants have the same value, the lexically first matching name will
+// be used (in the example, Acetaminophen will print as "Paracetamol").
+//
+// With no arguments, it processes the package in the current directory.
+// Otherwise, the arguments must name a single directory holding a Go package
+// or a set of Go source files that represent a single Go package.
+//
+// The -type flag accepts a comma-separated list of types so a single run can
+// generate methods for multiple types. The default output file is t_string.go,
+// where t is the lower-cased name of the first type listed. It can be overridden
+// with the -output flag.
