In the current codereview, if a patch was written against
a version of a file that had subsequently been edited,
hg clpatch would fail, even if the patch and the edits were
in different parts of the file.  In this situation the reviewer
typically wrote back saying "please hg sync and hg mail
to update the patch".

This change rewrites the patch automatically, using the
same transformation that hg sync + hg mail would.

If the interim changes (since the patch was created)
affect the same line ranges as the patch, clpatch will
still refuse to apply it.  But this CL should make
of the trivial conflicts we see just go away.

Type is now an interface that implements all the possible type methods.
Instead of a type switch on a reflect.Type t, switch on t.Kind().
If a method is invoked on the wrong kind of type (for example,
calling t.Field(0) when t.Kind() != Struct), the call panics.

There is one method renaming: t.(*ChanType).Dir() is now t.ChanDir().

Value is now a struct value that implements all the possible value methods.
Instead of a type switch on a reflect.Value v, switch on v.Kind().
If a method is invoked on the wrong kind of value (for example,
calling t.Recv() when t.Kind() != Chan), the call panics.

Since Value is now a struct, not an interface, its zero value
cannot be compared to nil.  Instead of v != nil, use v.IsValid().
Instead of other uses of nil as a Value, use Value{}, the zero value.

Many methods have been renamed, most due to signature conflicts:

           OLD                          NEW

    v.(*ArrayValue).Elem             v.Index
    v.(*BoolValue).Get               v.Bool
    v.(*BoolValue).Set               v.SetBool
    v.(*ChanType).Dir                v.ChanDir
    v.(*ChanValue).Get               v.Pointer
    v.(*ComplexValue).Get            v.Complex
    v.(*ComplexValue).Overflow       v.OverflowComplex
    v.(*ComplexValue).Set            v.SetComplex
    v.(*FloatValue).Get              v.Float
    v.(*FloatValue).Overflow         v.OverflowFloat
    v.(*FloatValue).Set              v.SetFloat
    v.(*FuncValue).Get               v.Pointer
    v.(*InterfaceValue).Get          v.InterfaceData
    v.(*IntValue).Get                v.Int
    v.(*IntValue).Overflow           v.OverflowInt
    v.(*IntValue).Set                v.SetInt
    v.(*MapValue).Elem               v.MapIndex
    v.(*MapValue).Get                v.Pointer
    v.(*MapValue).Keys               v.MapKeys
    v.(*MapValue).SetElem            v.SetMapIndex
    v.(*PtrValue).Get                v.Pointer
    v.(*SliceValue).Elem             v.Index
    v.(*SliceValue).Get              v.Pointer
    v.(*StringValue).Get             v.String
    v.(*StringValue).Set             v.SetString
    v.(*UintValue).Get               v.Uint
    v.(*UintValue).Overflow          v.OverflowUint
    v.(*UintValue).Set               v.SetUint
    v.(*UnsafePointerValue).Get      v.Pointer
    v.(*UnsafePointerValue).Set      v.SetPointer

Part of the motivation for this change is to enable a more
efficient implementation of Value, one that does not allocate
memory during most operations.  To reduce the size of the CL,
this CL's implementation is a wrapper around the old API.
Later CLs will make the implementation more efficient without
changing the API.

Other CLs to be submitted at the same time as this one
add support for this change to gofix (4343047) and update
the Go source tree (4353043).

This CL defines a new, more Go-like representation of
Go types (different structs for different types as
opposed to a single Type node). It also implements
an ast.Importer for object/archive files generated
by the gc compiler tool chain. Besides the individual
type structs, the main difference is the handling of
named types: In the old world, a named type had a
non-nil *Object pointer but otherwise looked no
different from other types. In this new model, named
types have their own representation types.Name. As
a result, resolving cycles is a bit simpler during
construction, at the cost of having to deal with
types.Name nodes explicitly later. It remains to be
seen if this is a good approach. Nevertheless, code
involving types reads more nicely and benefits from
full type checking. Also, the representation seems
to more closely match the spec wording.

Credits: The original version of the gc importer was
written by Evan Shaw (chickencha@gmail.com). The new
version in this CL is based largely on Evan's original
code but contains bug fixes, a few simplifications,
some restructuring, and was adjusted to use the
new type hierarchy. I have added a comprehensive test
that imports all packages found under $GOROOT/pkg (with
a 3s time-out to limit the run-time of the test). Run
gotest -v for details.

The original version of ExportData (exportdata.go) was
written by Russ Cox (rsc@golang.org). The current version
is returning the internal buffer positioned at the beginning
of the export data instead of printing the export data to
stdout.

With the new types package, the existing in-progress
typechecker package is deprecated. I will delete it
once all functionality has been brought over.

Right now if a Go developer makes a patch on one machine
and then clpatches it onto another machine, changes
subsequently made to the description are kept only
locally, under the assumption that you are running
clpatch because someone else wrote the CL, so you
don't have permission to update the web.

This change makes clpatch discard the "this was a
clpatch" information from the metadata when you
clpatch your own CLs from one machine to another.

This should eliminate some confusion (for example
in CL 4314054) but will no doubt introduce other
confusion.

- there were no getters.
Also rearrange the code a little so we can avoid allocating
a buffer on every call.  Logging is expensive but we should
avoid unnecessary cost.

This should have no effect on existing code.
