The smtp package originally allowed PLAIN whenever, but then
the TLS check was added for paranoia, but it's too paranoid:
it prevents using PLAIN auth even from localhost to localhost
when the server advertises PLAIN support.

This CL also permits the client to send PLAIN if the server
advertises it.

Save an allocation per GET request and don't call io.LimitedReader(r, 0)
just to read 0 bytes.  There's already an eofReader global variable
for when we just want a non-nil io.Reader to immediately EOF.

This changes the map lookup behavior for string maps with 2-8 keys.

There was already previously a fastpath for 0 items and 1 item.

Now, if a string-keyed map has <= 8 items, first check all the
keys for length first. If only one has the right length, then
just check it for equality and avoid hashing altogether. Once
the map has more than 8 items, always hash like normal.

I don't know why some of the other non-string map benchmarks
got faster. This was with benchtime=2s, multiple times. I haven't
anything else getting slower, though.

It was unnecessarily cloning and then mutating a map that had

No new tests, because they were added in revision 833bf2ef1527

A package file may begin as either "package foo" or
"package foo safe". The latter is relevant when using -u.
https://golang.org/cl/6903059 resulted in the distinction
being dropped when a package was read for the second or later time.
