Robert Griesemer 394ac818b0 cmd/compile: add and enable (internal) option to only track named types
The new export format keeps track of all types that are exported.
If a type is seen that was exported before, only a reference to
that type is emitted. The importer maintains a list of all the
seen types and uses that list to resolve type references.

The existing compiler infrastructure's invariants assumes that
only named types are referred to before they are fully set up.
Referring to unnamed incomplete types causes problems. One of
the issues was #15548.

Added a new internal flag 'trackAllTypes' to enable/disable
this type tracking. With this change only named types are
tracked.

Verified that this fix also addresses #15548, even w/o the
prior fix for that issue (in fact that prior fix is turned
off if trackAllTypes is disabled because it's not needed).

The test for #15548 covers also this change.

For #15548.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
