7bc03718f4 go spec: clean-up and consolidation of spec with implementation
Specifically:
- introduced notion of "underlying type"
- removed notion of type compatibility
- consolidated rules about assignment compatibility in
  assignment compatibility section
- be consistent with specyfing that nil is the value
  for uninitialized variables that can be nil (this
  was not specified clearly for pointers, functions, interfaces)
- added/fixed various related links throughout
- clarify language on conversions

1d282a8eb2 go spec: Base comparison compatibility on assignment compatibility.
Specifically:
- Simplified definition of comparison compatibility and folded into
  section on comparison operators since it's only used there.

This is a small language change/cleanup. As a consequence:
- An interface value may now be compared against a non-interface value.
- Channels with opposite directions cannot be compared directly anymore
  (per discussion with rsc).

63f014910d go spec: change def. of "type compatibility" to be non-recursive
and adjust conversion rules.

Also:
- clarification of type identity (no language change)
- adjust special rules for channel assignment/comparison to
  require identical element types (in correspondence to non-
  recursiveness of type compatibility)

11a218444f Revert previous change: complexN only converts to complexN.
This was discussed with Ken and Russ.  6g has been changed,
and both compilers now work this way.  This avoids a double
type conversion--first to the float type, then to the complex
type.

c1045db1d8 go_spec: use PrimaryExpr as type switch expression
Without this change, the spec parses <-c.(type) as (<-c).(type)
but parses <-c.(int) as <-(c.(int)).

With this change, the former parses as <-(c.(type)).

All three parsers already implement this rule, because
they look for the "type" word during parsing of a standard
type assertion.  This change merely brings the
spec in line with the implementations.
