Robert Griesemer cc95d85fe4 cmd/compile: remove quoting in favor of clearer prose in error messages
In an attempt to address issue #65790 (confusing error messages),
quoting of names was introduced for some (but not all) names used
in error messages.

That CL solved the issue at hand at the cost of extra punctuation
(the quotes) plus some inconsistency (not all names were quoted).

This CL removes the quoting again in favor or adding a qualifying noun
(such as "name", "label", "package", "built-in" etc.) before a user-
specified name where needed.

For instance, instead of

        invalid argument to `max'

we now say

        invalid argument to built-in max

There's still a chance for confusion. For instance, before an error
might have been

        `sadly' not exported by package X

and now it would be

        name sadly not exported by package X

but adverbs (such as "sadly") seem unlikely names in programs.

This change touches a lot of files but only affects error messages.

Fixes #67685.

The test directory contains tests of the Go tool chain and runtime. It includes black box tests, regression tests, and error output tests. They are run as part of all.bash.

To run just these tests, execute:

../bin/go test cmd/internal/testdir

To run just tests from specified files in this directory, execute:

../bin/go test cmd/internal/testdir -run='Test/(file1.go|file2.go|...)'

Standard library tests should be written as regular Go tests in the appropriate package.

The tool chain and runtime also have regular Go tests in their packages. The main reasons to add a new test to this directory are:

  • it is most naturally expressed using the test runner; or
  • it is also applicable to gccgo and other Go tool chains.
