go/packages: add name= query

Add an implementation of name= for go list. It will be used to
implement goimports and godoc-like lookups by package name.

Imported a copy of the semver package from the stdlib to do version
comparison, and tweaked the gopathwalk API to include a hint about what
kind of source directory is being traversed.

Note that the tests, despite my best efforts, are not hermetic: go list
insists on doing version lookups in situations where it seems to me like
it shouldn't need to.

I think this implementation is ready for serious use. The one thing I'm
nervous about is that it currently does a substring match when looking
for a package name, so if you look up a package named "a" you will get
a huge number of results. This matches goimports' behavior but I don't
know if it's suitable for general use.

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.
