Dmitriy Dudkin 6abc4a7c3e cmd/go: fix go get -u wildcard corner case
Suppose you have already downloaded "foo.bar/baz", where the repo
is for all of foo.bar/, and you then "go get -u foo.bar/...".
The command-line wildcard expands to foo.bar/baz,
and go get updates the foo.bar/ repo.
Suppose that the repo update brought in foo.bar/quux,
though, which depends on other.site/bar.
Download does not consider foo.bar/quux, since it's
only looking at foo.bar/baz, so it didn't download other.site/bar.
After the download, we call importPaths(args) to decide what to install.
That call was reevaluating the original wildcard with the new repo
and matching foo.bar/quux, which was missing its dependency
other.site/bar, causing a build failure.

The fix in this CL is to remember the pre-download expansion
of the argument list and pass it to the installer. Then only the things
we tried to download get installed.

The case where foo.bar/ is not even checked out yet continues to work,
because in that case we leave the wildcard in place, and download
reevaluates it during the download.

The fix in this CL may not be the right long-term fix, but it is at least a fix.
It may be that download should be passed all the original wildcards
so that it can reexpand them as new code is downloaded, ideally reaching
a fixed point. That can be left for another day.

In short:

- The problem is that the "install" half of "go get" was trying to install
  more than the "download" half was properly downloading.
- The fix in this CL is to install just what was downloaded (install less).
- It may be that a future CL should instead download what will be installed (download more).

Fixes #14450.

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 file). 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-source.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 https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
