Russ Cox cb2f6cb05d godoc: generate package toc in template, not in JavaScript
1. Generate TOC for package pages using template,
instead of using JavaScript magic.  This makes the
pages generated by godoc -html easier to export
to other systems.

2. Make TOC one column.  It's hard to do two columns
portably without invoking JavaScript.

3. Since the TOC is only one column, show full type
signatures for functions and methods.  Many times
that's all you need to see anyway.

4. Name the section after the TOC "Overview".
Naming it something is important, to set it off
from the TOC and so that there's a quick link to
it in the TOC.

For now, some illustrative examples:

http://swtch.com:6060/pkg/io/
http://swtch.com:6060/pkg/strings/
http://swtch.com:6060/pkg/tabwriter/
http://swtch.com:6060/pkg/unicode/

Fixes #1982.

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.
