This is a tracking issue for the task of migrating cmd/vet to the new go/analysis API.

• bring the vet fork up to date w.r.t. the few recent changes in cmd/vet
• ensure that cmd/vet command-line documentation is accurate
• update cmd/vendor, adding a script for this and future updates.
• change cmd/vet/all to use "go vet" instead of "go tool vet",
  and measure any performance impact on the builders.
  This requires investigating all deviations in cmd/vet/all diagnostics.
  The main issue here is github.com/cmd/go: go vet should tell cmd/vet the names of .s files #27665.
  Most of the other differences result from "go vet" being more precise than "go tool vet".
• replace cmd/vet with a copy of vet-lite's short main.go file.

At that point, "go vet" will use the new driver.
