internal/lsp: improve completion support for type assertions

In type assertion expressions and type switch clauses we now infer the
type from which candidates must be assertable. For example in:

var foo io.Writer
bar := foo.(<>)

When suggesting concrete types we will prefer types that actually
implement io.Writer.

I also added support for the "*" type name modifier. Using the above
example:

bar := foo.(*<>)

we will prefer type T such that *T implements io.Writer.

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.
