Most of the time spent compiling is spent optimizing and linking
binary code. Most errors occur at the syntax or semantic (type) layers.
Go's compiler is importable as a normal package, so we can do fast
syntax and type checking for the 10 platforms we build on.
This currently takes ~6 minutes of CPU time (parallelized).
This makes presubmit cross builds superfluous, since it should catch
most cross-build breaks (generally Unix and 64-bit assumptions).
Example output:
$ time go run test/typecheck/main.go
type-checking: linux/amd64, windows/386, darwin/amd64, linux/arm, linux/386, windows/amd64, linux/arm64, linux/ppc64le, linux/s390x, darwin/386

This is useful for humans to run to catch obvious problems before
pushing commits and waiting for CI to run verify checks.
Quick mode only runs a whitelist of verify scripts that are reasonably fast.
I set the initial bar arbitrarily at <10s each on my workstation.
The whole set runs in <30s for me, assuming I had already run `make` and
`hack/godep-restore.sh`. This is compared to the full `make verify`
which takes [I don't know how long because I gave up after 45min].
This commit ensures that:
- go vet will be run as part of the make verify target
- the vet make-rule script won't be run directly, as generated_files won't be run in that case
- that go vet errors show up in the build log with a start time, finish time, and SUCCESS/FAILED message as part of the verify make rule script
Per Clayton's suggestion, move stuff from cluster/lib/util.sh to
hack/lib/util.sh. Also consolidate ensure-temp-dir and use the
hack/lib/util.sh implementation rather than cluster/common.sh.
This allows us to start building real dependencies into Makefile.
Leave old hack/* scripts in place but advise to use 'make'. There are a few
rules that call things like 'go run' or 'build/*' that I left as-is for now.
