* feat: generate go1.21 files
* chore: update CI
* feat: add support for generic symbols in standard library packages
This is necessary to fully support go1.21 and beyond, which now
provide some generic packages such as `cmp`, `maps` or `slices`
in the standard library.
The principle is to embed the generic symbols in source form (as
strings) so they can be instantiated as required during interpretation.
Extract() has been modified to skip the generic types, functions and
constraint interfaces which can't be represented as reflect.Values.
A new stdlib/generic package has been added to provide the corresponding
source files as embedded strings.
The `Use()` function has been changed to pre-parse generic symbols as
doing lazy parsing was causing cyclic dependencies issues at compiling.
This is something we may improve in the future.
A unit test using `cmp` has been added.
For now, there are still some issues with generic stdlib packages
inter-dependencies, for example `slices` importing `cmp`, or when
generic types or function signatures depends on pre-compiled types
in the same package, which we will support shortly.

* update unsafe2 for go1.21, skip faky tests
In go1.21, the reflect rtype definition has been move to internal/abi.
We follow this change for maintainability, even if there is no layout
change (the go1.20 unsafe2 is compatible with go1.21).
We have isolated a few problematic tests which are failing sometimes
in go1.21, but work in go1.20, and also in go1.22. Those tests are
skipped if in go1.21. A preliminary investigation can not confirm that
something is wrong in yaegi, and the problem disappears with go1.22.
* add new wrapper for go1.21 package testing/slogtest
* add missing wrapper for go/doc/comment
* add support for slices generic package

Although empty interfaces are usually not wrapped, for compatibility with the runtime, we may have to wrap them sometime into `valueInterface` type.
It allows to preserve interpreter type metadata for interface values exchanged with the runtime. It is necessary to resolve methods and receivers in the absence of reflect support.
During type assertions on empty interfaces, we now handle a possible valueInterface and dereference the original value to pursue the type assertion.
In the same change, we have improved the format of some panic messages at runtime to give location of offending source at interpreter level.
This change will allow to fixtraefik/traefik#9362.
In addition:
- extract commmand now skips exported generics in runtime wrappers
- interp_consistent_test.go fixed for go1.18 and go1.19
- move minimal version of go compiler to go1.18
Note that this version is incompatible with go1.17 and before due
to the major changes in the stdlib go parser.
To be merged once go1.19 is officially released (not before).
### Background
#1102 changed how `Interpreter.Use` interprets export paths such that the last path component is stripped and used as the package name. This resulted in #1139 - attempting to Use an export with only one path component, such as `foo`, would result in the import path being `.`.
### Breaking API Change
This PR changes the signature of `Interpreter.Use` from `Use(Exports)` to `Use(Exports) error`.
### Fix for #1139
With this PR, if Use is called with an incomplete export path, such as `foo`, Use will return an error.
Use YAEGI_SPECIAL_STDIO env boolean to overwrite os.Stdxxx by
non file descriptors io.Writer / io.Reader interfaces. It is set
to true when testing to allow redirection to byte buffers.
The default behaviour is now to preserve the original concrete type
when sandboxing stdio, which maintains compatibility.
Fixes#1092.
The goal is to provide greater control of input, output and error
streams of the interpreter. It is now possible to specify those
as options when creating a new interpreter. The provided values
are propagated to relevant stdlib symbols (i.e fmt.Print, etc).
Care is taken to not update the global variables os.Stdout, os.Stdin
and os.Stderr, as to not interfere with the host process.
The REPL function is now simplified. The deprecated version is removed.
The tests are updated to take advantage of the simplified access
to the interpreter output and errors.
Fixes#752.
The recent changes that added some redeclaration checks implicitly added more
strictness related to namespaces and scopes which, among other things, broke
some uses that "accidentally" used to work.
For example, given
const script1 = `
import "fmt"
// more code
`
const script2 = `
import "fmt"
// some other code
`
If one Evals script1, then script2, with the same interpreter, without
specifying any scope, as the two fragments would be considered part of the same
(.go file) scope by default, a redeclaration error would be triggered because
import "fmt" is seen twice.
A work-around would have been to specify (a different) i.Name before each Eval
call, so that each script is considered as coming from a different .go file, and
hence are respectively in different scopes with respect to imports.
That lead us to realize we had to make specifying things such as file-scope, and
"incremental mode" (aka REPL), more obvious in the context of an Eval call.
In addition, we want to lay down the foundations for Yaegi being able to behave
more like the go tool wrt to various inputs, i.e. it should be able to take a
package directory, or an import path, as input, instead of just a .go file.
Hence the introduction of a new kind of Eval method (whose signature is not fixed yet):
func (interp *Interpreter) EvalPath(path string) (res reflect.Value, err error)
It partially solves the problem described above because:
1. the path given to EvalPath can be used as the file-scope hint mentioned
above, for now (even though the related implementation details might change).
2. Eval always runs in incremental mode, whereas EvalPath always runs in
non-incremental mode, hence clarifying the situation in that respect.
And to avoid confusion, the Name field of Interpreter is now non-exported,
since it is somewhat redundant with the path argument of EvalPath.
Note that #731 is not fully fixed (and might never be), as a requirement of the
proposed solution is to move the input bits of code into respective files
(instead of leaving them as strings).
Finally, some related bugfixes, documention changes, and some refactoring have
been included. Notably, there is no "empty scope" anymore, i.e. name defaults
to "_.go" when it is not specified.
