Vendoring in std and cmd
========================

Only differences from the base Go toolchain defaults are reported.

When testing a package, `//go:debug` lines in the `*_test.go`

Distributions that install the `go` command to a location other than
`$GOROOT/bin/go` should install a symlink instead of relocating
or copying the `go` binary.
