Russ Cox e4bc3c462b encoding/gob: fewer decAlloc calls
Move decAlloc calls a bit higher in the call tree.
Cleans code marginally, improves speed marginally.
The benchmarks are noisy but the median time from
20 consective 1-second runs improves by about 2%.

Rob Pike ce5bbfdde4 encoding/gob: simplify allocation in decode.
The old code's structure needed to track indirections because of the
use of unsafe. That is no longer necessary, so we can remove all
that tracking. The code cleans up considerably but is a little slower.
We may be able to recover that performance drop. I believe the
code quality improvement is worthwhile regardless.

Rob Pike 3050a0a7d2 encoding/gob: remove unsafe, use reflection.
This removes a major unsafe thorn in our side, a perennial obstacle
to clean garbage collection.
Not coincidentally: In cleaning this up, several bugs were found,
including code that reached inside by-value interfaces to create
pointers for pointer-receiver methods. Unsafe code is just as
advertised.

Performance of course suffers, but not too badly. The Pipe number
is more indicative, since it's doing I/O that simulates a network
connection. Plus these are end-to-end, so each end suffers
only half of this pain.

The edit is pretty much a line-by-line conversion, with a few
simplifications and a couple of new tests. There may be more
performance to gain.

Fixes #5159.

Rob Pike 1fba73de45 encoding/gob: ignore chan and func fields of structures
Previously, fields of type chan or func caused an error.
Now we just treat them like unexported fields and ignore them.
This makes it easier to guarantee long-term compatibilty since
a substructure from another package cannot break gob
encoding by adding a func or chan field.

Fixes #6071

Rob Pike bbe601789c encoding/gob: disable fuzz tests unless command-line flag is set
They can generate huge amounts of memory, causing failure on
small machines. Also they can be very slow. So slow that one test
was commented out! We uncomment it and use a flag.

Fixes #3742.

Robert Griesemer 541b67d051 go/printer, gofmt: fine tuning of line spacing
- no empty lines inside empty structs and interfaces
- top-level declarations are separated by a blank line if
  a) they are of different kind (e.g. const vs type); or
  b) there are documentation comments associated with a
     declaration (this is new)
- applied gofmt -w misc src

The actual changes are in go/printer/nodes.go:397-400 (empty structs/interfaces),
and go/printer/printer.go:307-309 (extra line break). The remaining
changes are cleanups w/o changing the existing functionality.

Fixes issue  2570.

Rob Pike f4cd80224a encoding: move asn1, csv, gob, json, xml into encoding
This is Go 1 package renaming CL #1.
This one merely moves the source; the import strings will be
changed after the next weekly release.

The only edits are in Makefiles.
