Russ Cox ef805fe3a0 os: do not return Lstat errors from Readdir
This CL restores the Go 1.1.2 semantics for os.File's Readdir method.

The code in Go 1.1.2 was rewritten mainly because it looked buggy.
This new version attempts to be clearer but still provide the 1.1.2 results.

The important diff is not this CL's version against tip but this CL's version
against Go 1.1.2.

Go 1.1.2:

        names, err := f.Readdirnames(n)
        fi = make([]FileInfo, len(names))
        for i, filename := range names {
                fip, err := Lstat(dirname + filename)
                if err == nil {
                        fi[i] = fip
                } else {
                        fi[i] = &fileStat{name: filename}
                }
        }
        return fi, err

This CL:

        names, err := f.Readdirnames(n)
        fi = make([]FileInfo, len(names))
        for i, filename := range names {
                fip, lerr := lstat(dirname + filename)
                if lerr != nil {
                        fi[i] = &fileStat{name: filename}
                        continue
                }
                fi[i] = fip
        }
        return fi, err

The changes from Go 1.1.2 are stylistic, not semantic:
1. Use lstat instead of Lstat, for testing (done before this CL).
2. Make error handling in loop body look more like an error case.
3. Use separate error variable name in loop body, to be clear
   we are not trying to influence the final return result.

Fixes #6656.
Fixes #6680.

README

This is the source code repository for the Go programming language.  

For documentation about how to install and use Go,
visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install.html in your web browser.

After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted
doc/install.html by running godoc --http=:6060
and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install.html.

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 README).  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.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 doc/install.html for more details.
