Alan Donovan 71dfda0503 go/analysis/analysistest: support testing of facts
This change adds support for testing the facts produced by an Analyzer
using a similar mechanism to the way it checks for diagnostics.

A "// want ..." comment may now contain a mixture of expectations for
diagnostics and facts. Diagnostics are indicated by a string literal,
as before. Facts are indicated by name:"regexp" where name identifies
the object (declared on the same line) with which the fact is
associated.

  func neverReturns() { // want neverReturns:"noReturn"
       for {}
  }

Also:
- analysistest: report errors during package loading.
  (We don't yet have a way to test RunDespiteErrors Analyzers in the
  face of errors.)
- tests for Facts produced by findcall and pkgfacts.
  (Findcall now produces facts just for testing.)
- Add String method to various Fact types.
  Should the Fact interface have this method?

README

This directory does not contain a Go package,
but acts as a container for various analyses
that implement the golang.org/x/tools/go/analysis
API and may be imported into an analysis tool.

By convention, each package foo provides the analysis,
and each command foo/cmd/foo provides a standalone driver.
