Brad Fitzpatrick 0835c73534 imports: special case rand.Read, prevent math/rand by chance
In Go 1.7, math/rand.Read was added. Previously, the only package
containing "rand.Read" was "crypto/rand".

goimports was updated to know that, and zstdlib.go contains a note
that it's ambiguous:

        "rand.Perm":        "math/rand",
        "rand.Prime":       "crypto/rand",
        "rand.Rand":        "math/rand",
        // "rand.Read" is ambiguous
        "rand.Reader":                   "crypto/rand",
        "rand.Seed":                     "math/rand",
        "rand.Source":                   "math/rand",

The intention originally was that such ambiguous things would
never be resolved, even randomly.

But a later change added support for build.Default.SrcDirs, which
meant GOROOT was also searched for ambiguous things. Or maybe I forget
the history.

In any case, when goimports tried to resolve "rand.Read", the
findImportStdlib check was returning nothing, which lead to the
$GOROOT being searched, where math/rand was picked by chance. That's a
dangerous default when the intentional might've been crypto/rand.

Special case it and prefer crypto/rand if there's no more specific
clue either way.

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
Static Single Assignment form (SSA) representation for Go programs.

To submit changes to this repository, see http://golang.org/doc/contribute.html.
