Now that we've released v0.6.0, that will be the last feature release to
feature support for Go 1.17. The upcoming v0.7.0 will be Go 1.18+.
Code-wise, the cleanup here isn't super noticeable,
but it will be easier to work on features like VCS-aware version
information and generics support without worrying about Go 1.17.
Plus, now CI is back to being much faster.
Note how "go 1.18" in go.mod makes "go mod tidy" more aggressive.
Piggybacking off of GOPRIVATE is great for a number of reasons:
* People tend to obfuscate private code, whose package paths will
generally be in GOPRIVATE already
* Its meaning and syntax are well understood
* It allows all the flexibility we need without adding our own env var
or config option
However, using GOPRIVATE directly has one main drawback.
It's fairly common to also want to obfuscate public dependencies,
to make the code in private packages even harder to follow.
However, using "GOPRIVATE=*" will result in two main downsides:
* GONOPROXY defaults to GOPRIVATE, so the proxy would be entirely disabled.
Downloading modules, such as when adding or updating dependencies,
or when the local cache is cold, can be less reliable.
* GONOSUMDB defaults to GOPRIVATE, so the sumdb would be entirely disabled.
Adding entries to go.sum, such as when adding or updating dependencies,
can be less secure.
We will continue to consume GOPRIVATE as a fallback,
but we now expect users to set GOGARBLE instead.
The new logic is documented in the README.
While here, rewrite some uses of "private" with "to obfuscate",
to make the code easier to follow and harder to misunderstand.
Fixes#276.
That is, use a very specific build tag and git commit,
and ensure that neither ends up in the binary.
Luckily, we have nothing to do here.
We were already removing _gomod_.go from the build entirely,
and that is still the mechanism that "go build" uses to bundle the data.
Note that the test will still work if git is not installed,
but it will simply not check the VCS side.
Finally, we use "go version -m" to check the existing fields,
which is easier than calling the Go APIs directly.
It seems like "go test" passes on yesterday's Go master, now.
So, enable test-gotip again with that commit hash.
Fixes#385.
We can now use pruned module graphs in go.mod files,
and we no longer need to worry about runtime/internal/sys.
Note that I had to update testdata/mod slightly,
as the new pruned module graphs algorithm downloads an extra go.mod file.
This change also paves the way towards future Go 1.18 support.
Thanks to lu4p for cleaning up two TODOs as well.

Our use of go-internal's gotooltest.Setup means that "go" is set up as a
top-level command in the scripts, so we can simply "go build" instead of
having to "exec go build". The result is practically the same, but the
scripts are simpler.
While at it, I had left an "exec cat" behind; remove it.
This mainly cleans up the few bits of code where we explicitly kept
support for Go 1.15.x. With v0.1.0 released, we can drop support now,
since the next v0.2.0 release will only support Go 1.16.x.
Also updates all modules, including test ones, to 'go 1.16'.
Note that the TOOLEXEC_IMPORTPATH refactor is not done here, despite all
the TODOs about doing so when we drop 1.15 support. This is because that
refactor needs to be done carefully and might have side effects, so it's
best to keep it to a separate commit.
Finally, update the deps.
In Go 1.15, if a dependency is required but not listed in go.mod/go.sum,
it's resolved and added automatically.
This is changing in 1.16. From that release, one will have to explicitly
update the mod files via 'go mod tidy' or 'go get'.
To get ahead of the curve, start using -mod=readonly to get the same
behavior in 1.15, and fix all existing tests.
The only tests that failed were imports.txt and syntax.txt, the only
ones to require other modules. But since we're here, let's add the 'go'
line to all go.mod files as well.
basic.txt just builds main.go without a module. Similarly, we leave
imports.txt without a GOPRIVATE, to test the 'go list -m' fallback.
For all other tests, explicitly set GOPRIVATE, to avoid two exec calls -
both 'go env GOPRIVATE' as well as 'go list -m'. Each of those calls
takes in the order of 10ms, so saving ~26 exec calls should easily add
to 200-300ms saved from 'go test -short'.
Carefully select a default that will do the right thing when inside a
module, as well as when building ad-hoc packages.
This means we no longer need to look at the compiler's -std flag, which
is nice.
Also replace foo.com/ with test/, as per golang/go#37641.
Fixes#7.
The problem with the "grep" built-in command is that it prints the
entire data if there is an error. We don't want megabytes of binary
output for a test.
