It was skipping dirs starting with ".", but it was missing the "_"
prefix and the "testdata" name. From "go help packages":
Directory and file names that begin with "." or "_" are ignored
by the go tool, as are directories named "testdata".
Before the change:
$ go doc z # using src/cmd/go/testdata/testvendor/src/q/z
package z // import "."
After the fix, it falls back to the current directory, as expected when
a single argument isn't found as a package in $GOPATH.
TestMain needs a small adjustment to keep the tests working, as now
their use of cmd/doc/testdata would normally not work.
This is the second try for this fix; the first time around, we included
cmd/doc/testdata to the dirs list by sending it to the channel via a
goroutine. However, that can end up in a send to a closed channel, if
GOROOT is a very small directory tree or missing.
To avoid that possibility, include the extra directory by pre-populating
the paths list, before the walking of GOROOT and GOPATH actually starts.
Fixes #24462.
