gopls/internal/regtest: add a regtest-based version of the marker tests

Add a new implementation of the gopls marker tests that shares the same
testing environment as the regression tests. Along the way, revisit the
semantics of the marker framework, to address some problems we've
identified over the years.

Specifically:
- Split tests into self-contained txtar encoded files. Each file
  determines an isolated set of markers, and is executed in a separate
  session.
- Change the mechanisms for golden content, so that it is joined by
  identifiers, and passed to the test method as an argument. This makes
  it more apparent where golden content is used, and makes the identity
  of golden content stable under manipulations of the source (as opposed
  to some arbitrary munging of the note position)
- Allow custom argument conversion that may be convenient for LSP-based
  test functions, by avoiding the packagestest framework and instead
  building directly on top of the x/tools/go/expect package. As an
  initial proof of concept, this allowed using a protocol.Location as a
  test method argument.
- Add significant documentation and examples.
- Deprecate the @hover marker in the old marker tests
  (gopls/internal/lsp).

I believe that this lays the foundation to address the remaining
concerns enumerated in golang/go#54845, as this new design solves the
isolation problem, the problem of golden file naming, and the lack of
clarity around the definition and construction of test annotations.

For golang/go#54845

Go Tools

PkgGoDev

This repository provides the golang.org/x/tools module, comprising various tools and packages mostly for static analysis of Go programs, some of which are listed below. Use the “Go reference” link above for more information about any package.

It also contains the golang.org/x/tools/gopls module, whose root package is a language-server protocol (LSP) server for Go. An LSP server analyses the source code of a project and responds to requests from a wide range of editors such as VSCode and Vim, allowing them to support IDE-like functionality.

Selected commands:

  • cmd/goimports formats a Go program like go fmt and additionally inserts import statements for any packages required by the file after it is edited.
  • cmd/callgraph prints the call graph of a Go program.
  • cmd/digraph is a utility for manipulating directed graphs in textual notation.
  • cmd/stringer generates declarations (including a String method) for “enum” types.
  • cmd/toolstash is a utility to simplify working with multiple versions of the Go toolchain.

These commands may be fetched with a command such as

go install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports@latest

Selected packages:

  • go/ssa provides a static single-assignment form (SSA) intermediate representation (IR) for Go programs, similar to a typical compiler, for use by analysis tools.

  • go/packages provides a simple interface for loading, parsing, and type checking a complete Go program from source code.

  • go/analysis provides a framework for modular static analysis of Go programs.

  • go/callgraph provides call graphs of Go programs using a variety of algorithms with different trade-offs.

  • go/ast/inspector provides an optimized means of traversing a Go parse tree for use in analysis tools.

  • go/cfg provides a simple control-flow graph (CFG) for a Go function.

  • go/expect reads Go source files used as test inputs and interprets special comments within them as queries or assertions for testing.

  • go/gcexportdata and go/gccgoexportdata read and write the binary files containing type information used by the standard and gccgo compilers.

  • go/types/objectpath provides a stable naming scheme for named entities (“objects”) in the go/types API.

Numerous other packages provide more esoteric functionality.
