This is the same heuristic that build.ScanDir uses.
It avoids considering 'resource fork' files on OS X;

Multiplying by the low 32 bits was a bad idea

Right now, GOTRACEBACK=0 means do not show any stack traces.
Unset means the default behavior (declutter by hiding runtime routines).

This CL makes GOTRACEBACK=2 mean include the runtime routines.
It avoids having to recompile the runtime when you want to see
the runtime in the tracebacks.

Zip files may actually store symlinks, and that's represented
as a file with unix flag S_IFLNK and with its data containing
the symlink target name.

The other flags are being supported too. Now that the os package
has the full range of flags in a system agnostic manner, there's
no reason to discard that information.

      This fix makes the goFilesPackage helper function print the errors from
      package imports and exit similar to how the packagesForBuild function does.

      Without this change, when invoking "go build *.go" with, for example,
      an old import path, the following stack trace is generated:

      panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

      goroutine 1 [running]:
      go/build.(*Tree).PkgDir(...)
              /opt/go/src/pkg/go/build/path.go:52 +0xfb

The practice encourages people to think this is the way to
create a bytes.Buffer when new(bytes.Buffer) or
just var buf bytes.Buffer work fine.
