net: remove dependency on fmt, unicode via golang.org/x/net/dns/dnsmessage #40070

net should not depend on fmt and unicode.

golang.org/x/net/dns/dnsmessage contains one line using fmt:

return nil, off, fmt.Errorf("invalid resource type: %d", hdr.Type)

But dnsmessage is vendored into the standard library and imported by net,
and this use is making net depend on fmt, and in turn on unicode.

This one line should be changed, to remove the use of fmt.

go/build.TestDependencies claims to check that net does not
depend on unicode, which should have detected this, but that
test does not look inside vendored packages.

I have a fix that I will send out for that problem as well.

This package cannot use fmt, because standard package net imports it.
(Most of the package is already clean, including Type.String.)

For golang/go#40070.

TestDependencies defines the dependency policy
(what can depend on what) for the standard library.

The standard library has outgrown the idea of writing
the policy as a plain map literal. Also, the checker was
ignoring vendored packages, which makes it miss real
problems.

This commit adds a little language for describing
partial orders and rewrites the policy in that language.

It also changes the checker to look inside vendored
packages and adds those to the policy as well.

This turned up one important problem: net is depending
on fmt, unicode via golang.org/x/net/dns/dnsmessage,
filed as #40070.

This is a test-only change, so it should be appropriate
even for the release freeze, especially since it identified
a real bug.

Is there anything else to do here? As far as I can tell this issue can be closed.

I've confirmed the package net does not import fmt nor unicode, not even indirectly. It was resolved via CL 241257, and CL 241078 added a regression test (see this line).

Closing as this issue is fixed. Please comment if I missed something.
