Russ Cox 39e3cbfff6 text/template: reintroduce implicit indirect of interface values in builtin funcs
CL 31462 made it possible to operate directly on reflect.Values
instead of always forcing a round trip to interface{} and back.
The round trip was losing addressability, which hurt users.

The round trip was also losing "interface-ness", which helped users.
That is, using reflect.ValueOf(v.Interface()) instead of v was doing
an implicit indirect any time v was itself an interface{} value: the result
was the reflect.Value for the underlying concrete value contained in the
interface, not the interface itself.

CL 31462 eliminated some "unnecessary" reflect.Value round trips
in order to preserve addressability, but in doing so it lost this implicit
indirection. This CL adds the indirection back.

It may help to compare the changes in this CL against funcs.go from CL 31462:
https://go-review.googlesource.com/#/c/31462/4/src/text/template/funcs.go

Everywhere CL 31462 changed 'v := reflect.ValueOf(x)' to 'v := x',
this CL changes 'v := x' to 'v := indirectInterface(x)'.

Fixes #17714.

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.
