Package callgraph defines the call graph and various algorithms
and utilities to operate on it.

A call graph is a labelled directed graph whose nodes represent
functions and whose edge labels represent syntactic function call
sites.  The presence of a labelled edge (caller, site, callee)
indicates that caller may call callee at the specified call site.

A call graph is a multigraph: it may contain multiple edges (caller,
*, callee) connecting the same pair of nodes, so long as the edges
differ by label; this occurs when one function calls another function
from multiple call sites.  Also, it may contain multiple edges
(caller, site, *) that differ only by callee; this indicates a
polymorphic call.

A SOUND call graph is one that overapproximates the dynamic calling
behaviors of the program in all possible executions.  One call graph
is more PRECISE than another if it is a smaller overapproximation of
the dynamic behavior.

All call graphs have a synthetic root node which is responsible for
calling main() and init().

Calls to built-in functions (e.g. panic, println) are not represented
in the call graph; they are treated like built-in operators of the
language.
