Alan Donovan 2accef29d7 go.tools/ssa: implement correct control flow for recovered panic.
A function such as this:
        func one() (x int) {
                defer func() { recover() }()
                x = 1
                panic("return")
        }
that combines named return parameters (NRPs) with deferred calls
that call recover, may return non-zero values despite the
fact it doesn't even contain a return statement. (!)

This requires a change to the SSA API: all functions'
control-flow graphs now have a second entry point, called
Recover, which is the block at which control flow resumes
after a recovered panic.  The Recover block simply loads the
NRPs and returns them.

As an optimization, most functions don't need a Recover block,
so it is omitted.  In fact it is only needed for functions that
have NRPs and defer a call to another function that _may_ call
recover.

Dataflow analysis of SSA now requires extra work, since every
may-panic instruction has an implicit control-flow edge to
the Recover block.  The only dataflow analysis so far implemented
is SSA renaming, for which we make the following simplifying
assumption: the Recover block only loads the NRPs and returns.
This means we don't really need to analyze it, we can just
skip the "lifting" of such NRPs.  We also special-case the Recover
block in the dominance computation.

Rejected alternative approaches:
- Specifying a Recover block for every defer instruction (like a
   traditional exception handler).
   This seemed like excessive generality, since Go programs
   only need the same degenerate form of Recover block.
- Adding an instruction to set the Recover block immediately
   after the named return values are set up, so that dominance
   can be computed without special-casing.
   This didn't seem worth the effort.

Interpreter:
- This CL completely reimplements the panic/recover/
  defer logic in the interpreter.  It's clearer and simpler
  and closer to the model in the spec.
- Some runtime panic messages have been changed to be closer
  to gc's, since tests depend on it.
- The interpreter now requires that the runtime.runtimeError
  type be part of the SSA program.  This requires that clients
  import this package prior to invoking the interpreter.
  This in turn requires (Importer).ImportPackage(path string),
  which this CL adds.
- All $GOROOT/test/recover{,1,2,3}.go tests are now passing.

NB, the bug described in coverage.go (defer/recover in a concatenated
init function) remains.  Will be fixed in a follow-up.

Fixes golang/go#6381

README

This subrepository holds the source for various packages and tools that support
the Go programming language.

Some of the tools, godoc and vet for example, are included in binary Go distributions.
Others, including the Go oracle and the test coverage tool, can be fetched with "go get".

Packages include a type-checker for Go and an implementation of the Single Static
Assignment (SSA) representation for Go programs.
