internal/lsp: improve completion support for untyped constants

Add some extra smarts when evaluating untyped constants as completion
candidates. Previously we called types.Default() on the expected type
and candidate type, but this loses the untypedness of an untyped
constant which prevents it from being assignable to any type or named
type other than the untyped constant's default type.

Note that the added logic does not take into account the untyped
constant's value, so you will still get some false positive
completions (e.g. suggesting an untyped negative integer constant when
only a uint would do). Unfortunately go/types doesn't provide a way of
answering the question "is this *types.Const assignable to this
types.Type" since types.AssignableTo only considers a constant's type,
not its value.

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.
