go/packages: add ErrorKind field to differentiate error sources

Some applications (for example, diagnostics shown to a user in an
editor) may want to distinguish between errors generated by
the driver, parser, and type-checker. The Error struct did not have any
mechanism for doing this, so add an ErrorKind field and set it in
appendError.

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.
