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.
Obfuscating newName arguments of linkname directives
with dots in the importpath didn't work before.
We had a test which covers this,
but the corresponding package wasn't actually obfuscated.
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.

In ce2c45440a, we simplified the code a bit and removed one call to
obfuscatedTypesPackage.
Unfortunately, we introduced a regression; if an exported function is
linknamed to another symbol name, and it's called from an importer
package, we would have a build failure now:
> garble build
[stderr]
# test/main
ZiOACuw7.go:1: undefined: ODC0xN52.BaDqbhkj
This is because the imported package would not hash the original name,
via its ignoreObjects logic. And, since the importer package has no
access to that knowledge, it would hash the same name, and fail to find
it in the final build.
The regression happened because we used to have a types.Scope Lookup
that saved us in this scenario. Add the test, and re-add the Lookup,
this time only for this particular scenario with function names.
Thanks to Andrew LeFevre for reporting and describing the test case.
While at it, replace more uses of "garbled" to "obfuscated".
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.
If code includes a linkname directive pointing at a name in an imported
package, like:
//go:linkname localName importedpackage.RemoteName
func localName()
We should rewrite the comment to replace "RemoteName" with its
obfuscated counterpart, if the package in question was obfuscated and
that name was as well.
We already had some code to handle linkname directives, but only to
ensure that "localName" was never obfuscated. This behavior is kept, to
ensure that the directive applies to the right name. In the future, we
could instead rewrite "localName" in the directive, like we do with
"RemoteName".
Add plenty of tests, too. The linkname directive used to be tested in
imports.txt and syntax.txt, but that was hard to maintain as each file
tested different edge cases.
Now that we have build caching, adding one extra testscript file isn't a
big problem anymoree. Add linkname.txt, which is self-explanatory. The
other two scripts also get a bit less complex.
Fixes#197.
