Alan Donovan 9622293277 go/packages: a new Go package loader for go, vgo and other build systems
This package defines a new API for applications that need information
about Go packages, such as their source files, tests, dependencies,
and (optionally) typed syntax trees. It is intended to replace both
go/build and golang.org/x/tools/go/loader with an API that is simpler
yet supports a range of build systems including 'go build', vgo,
Bazel, and Blaze.

This CL contains the API, the "go list"-based implementation, and some
basic tests. More tests, more features as described in doc.go, and
implementations for bazel and blaze will follow.

Read doc.go for orientation and a list of open questions.
