cmd/cover rewrites Go source code to add coverage annotations.
The approach to date has been to parse the code to AST, analyze it,
rewrite the AST, and print it back out. This approach fails to preserve
line numbers in the original code and has a very difficult time with
comments, because go/printer does as well.
This CL changes cmd/cover to decide what to modify based on the
AST but to apply the modifications as purely textual substitutions.
In this way, cmd/cover can be sure it never adds or removes a newline
character, nor a comment, so all line numbers and comments are
preserved.
This also allows us to emit a single //line comment at the beginning
of the translated file and have the compiler report errors with
correct line numbers in the original file.
Fixes #6329.
Fixes #15757.
