os: don't ignore LStat errors in Readdir. If it's ENOENT,
on the second pass, just treat it as missing. If it's another
error, it's real.
path/filepath: use ReaddirNames instead of Readdir in Walk,
in order to obey the documented WalkFunc contract of returning
each walked item's LStat error, if any.

Bug3486 tried to walk the entire file tree, but other tests might
be creating and removing files in that tree. In particular, package os
creates and removes files in the os directory, and issue 5863
reports failures due to seeing those files appear and then disappear.
Change the test to walk just the test tree, which should not be
changing.
Fixes#5863.

Update #5000
Should reduce the flakiness a little. Malloc counting is important
to general testing but not to the build dashboard, which uses -short.

On Windows, directory names in PATH can be fully or partially quoted
in double quotes ('"'), but the path names as used by most APIs must
be unquoted. In addition, quoted names can contain the semicolon
(';') character, which is otherwise used as ListSeparator.
This CL changes SplitList in path/filepath and LookPath in os/exec
to only treat unquoted semicolons as separators, and to unquote the
separated elements.
(In addition, fix harmless test bug I introduced for LookPath on Unix.)

If a test can be placed in the same package ("internal"), it is placed
there. This facilitates testing of package-private details. Because of
dependency cycles some packages cannot be tested by internal tests.

package tests with calls to AllocsPerRun.

Define the properties of the arguments better. In particular,
explain that the path is (sort of) relative to the argument to
Walk.

Since NUL usually terminates strings in underlying syscalls, allowing
it when converting string arguments is a security risk, especially
when dealing with filenames. For example, a program might reason that
filename like "/root/..\x00/" is a subdirectory or "/root/" and allow
access to it, while underlying syscall will treat "\x00" as an end of
that string and the actual filename will be "/root/..", which might
be unexpected. Returning EINVAL when string arguments have NUL in
them makes sure this attack vector is unusable.

Currently walk() doesn't check for err == SkipDir when iterating
a directory list, but such promise is made in the docs for WalkFunc.

As discussed on golang-dev, windows will use
"\" as path separator. No escaping allowed.

The strikes against it are:
1. It does not take path boundaries into account.
2. It assumes that Windows==case-insensitive file system
and non-Windows==case-sensitive file system, neither of
which is always true.
3. Comparing ToLower against ToLower is not a correct
implementation of a case-insensitive string comparison.
4. If it returns true on Windows you still don't know how long
the matching prefix is in bytes, so you can't compute what
the suffix is.

go/doc: move Examples to go/ast
cmd/go: use go/doc to read examples
src/pkg: update examples to use new convention
This is to make whole file examples more readable. When presented as a
complete function, preceding an Example with its output is confusing.
The new convention is to put the expected output in the final comment
of the example, preceded by the string "output:" (case insensitive).
An idiomatic example looks like this:
// This example demonstrates Foo by doing bar and quux.
func ExampleFoo() {
// example body that does bar and quux
// Output:
// example output
}

This reduces the overhead necessary to work with OS-specific
file details, hides the implementation of FileStat, and
preserves the implementation-specific nature of Sys.
Expressions such as:
stat.(*os.FileInfo).Sys.(*syscall.Stat_t).Uid
fi1.(*os.FileStat).SameFile(fi2.(*os.FileStat))
Are now spelled as::
stat.Sys().(*syscall.Stat_t).Uid
os.SameFile(fi1, fi2)
