runtime: work around false negative in deadlock detection

Not a complete fix for issue 3342, but fixes the trivial case.
There may still be a race in the instants before and after
a scavenger-induced garbage collection.

Intended to be "obviously safe": a call to runtime?gosched
before main.main is no different than a call to runtime.Gosched
at the beginning of main.main, and it is (or had better be)
safe to call runtime.Gosched at any point during main.

Update issue 3342.

cmd/go: respect $GOBIN always

Another attempt at http://codereview.appspot.com/5754088.

Before, we only consulted $GOBIN for source code
found in $GOROOT, but that's confusing to explain
and less useful. The new behavior lets users set
GOBIN=$HOME/bin and have all go-compiled binaries
installed there.

Tested a few cases in test.bash.

Ran all.bash with and without $GOBIN and it works.
Even so, I expect it to break the builders,
like it did last time, we can debug from there.

Fixes issue 3269 (again).
Fixes issue 3396.
Fixes issue 3397.

go/build: fix import check

When we find a package in DIR/src/foo, we only let it
be known as foo if there is no other foo in an earlier
GOPATH directory or the GOROOT directory.
The GOROOT check was looking in GOROOT/src/foo
instead of GOROOT/src/pkg/foo, which meant that
the import paths "lib9", "libbio", "libmach", and so
on were unavailable, and the import paths "math",
"errors", and so on were available. Correct this.

Fixes issue 3390.
