go/packages: refactor list driver

Many functions in the list driver took the Config and goInfo functions.
Consolidate into a state object and move most functions to methods on
it.

Rework asynchronous go command calls -- rather than always running them
and waiting for them to finish, run on demand and attach them all to a
Context that is cancelled when the function returns. This does risk
letting them run a tiny bit over, but it should be harmless, and it's a
lot easier to pass the right Context around than to try and wait for
everything.

Propagate errors that were previously swallowed. All the tests still
pass, and hopefully nobody is hitting the errors cases. If I'm wrong we
can start swallowing them again.

Tweak and reword various comments that I thought could be improved.

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.
