The go/ssa/interp tests have been a maintenance nightmare for years
because the interpreter requires intrinsics for all low-level or
non-Go code functions, and the set of such functions in the standard
library naturally changes from day to day.
This CL finally drops support for interpreting real packages (which
has anyway been broken for ages) and restricts the test suite to small
programs that use a handful of simple functions in packages bytes,
strings, errors, runtime, reflect, and unicode. These functions are
declared in a tiny fake standard libary in testdata/src, and the
implementations of these functions are provided by interpreter
intrinsics that delegate to the real Go implementation---all their
parameters and results are basic datatypes.
The test suite is now very fast and should be easy to maintain going
forward. It is still possible that a change to some file in
$GOROOT/test/*.go adds a dependency to a symbol not present in our
standard library, but this is rare. I will either delete the test or
add the intrinsic on a case-by-case basis.
We no longer attempt to interpret major functionality like
fmt.Sprintf or "testing".
The interpreter always pretends to be in linux/amd64 mode.
Happy Christmas, Brad. ;)

- Break out parts of coverage.go into more specific files.
- Re-enable test of nil interface-to-interface conversion.
- Update initorder test to reflect spec ambiguity and gc vs go/types variance.
- Re-enable test dependent on now-fixed bug 8189 ("value,ok" yields an untyped bool)
