In the end, I did a big clean-up. I realised that by dropping
cmd/heapview, I could solve the most pressing problems now. So I have
just done that: heapview is not included in x-tools any more, after this
migrates to testing, we can reintroduce it in a separate binary package.

I also repackaged the source to completely remove third party js code,
and static.go blobs. I patched godoc to use on-disk files instead.

Also, solved the inconsistencies where godoc and others were using files
that belonged to the -dev package.

Hopefully, in 5 more days this will migrate.
