build: move package sources from src/pkg to src
Preparation was in CL 134570043. This CL contains only the effect of 'hg mv src/pkg/* src'. For more about the move, see golang.org/s/go14nopkg.

+ Package flag implements command-line flag parsing.
+
+ Usage:
+
+ Define flags using flag.String(), Bool(), Int(), etc.
+
+ This declares an integer flag, -flagname, stored in the pointer ip, with type *int.
+ import "flag"
+ var ip = flag.Int("flagname", 1234, "help message for flagname")
+ If you like, you can bind the flag to a variable using the Var() functions.
+ var flagvar int
+ func init() {
+ flag.IntVar(&flagvar, "flagname", 1234, "help message for flagname")
+ }
+ Or you can create custom flags that satisfy the Value interface (with
+ pointer receivers) and couple them to flag parsing by
+ flag.Var(&flagVal, "name", "help message for flagname")
+ For such flags, the default value is just the initial value of the variable.
+
+ After all flags are defined, call
+ flag.Parse()
+ to parse the command line into the defined flags.
+
+ Flags may then be used directly. If you're using the flags themselves,
+ they are all pointers; if you bind to variables, they're values.
+ fmt.Println("ip has value ", *ip)
+ fmt.Println("flagvar has value ", flagvar)
+
+ After parsing, the arguments after the flag are available as the
+ slice flag.Args() or individually as flag.Arg(i).
+ The arguments are indexed from 0 through flag.NArg()-1.
+
+ Command line flag syntax:
+ -flag
+ -flag=x
+ -flag x // non-boolean flags only
+ One or two minus signs may be used; they are equivalent.
+ The last form is not permitted for boolean flags because the
+ meaning of the command
+ cmd -x *
+ will change if there is a file called 0, false, etc. You must
+ use the -flag=false form to turn off a boolean flag.
+
+ Flag parsing stops just before the first non-flag argument
+ ("-" is a non-flag argument) or after the terminator "--".
+
+ Integer flags accept 1234, 0664, 0x1234 and may be negative.
+ Boolean flags may be:
+ 1, 0, t, f, T, F, true, false, TRUE, FALSE, True, False
+ Duration flags accept any input valid for time.ParseDuration.
+
+ The default set of command-line flags is controlled by
+ top-level functions. The FlagSet type allows one to define
+ independent sets of flags, such as to implement subcommands
+ in a command-line interface. The methods of FlagSet are
+ analogous to the top-level functions for the command-line
+ flag set.
