internal/lsp: cache package metadata to minimize calls to packages.Load

Instead of calling packages.Load on every character change, we reparse
the import declarations of the file and determine if they have
changed. We also introduce a metadata cache that caches the import
graph. This is used in type-checking and only updated on calls to
packages.Load.

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.
