Thomas Pelletier 405d48dc28 Port toml-test to pure Go (#264)
* Port toml-test to pure Go

This change basically ports the toml-test examples test suite to pure
Go. This removes the snowflake test.sh required to run such tests, and
allows us to the example tests on any platform (which includes Windows
as part of the pull-request testing).

* Allow CircleCI failure for go tip

# go-toml
Go library for the [TOML](https://github.com/mojombo/toml) format.
This library supports TOML version
[v0.4.0](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml/blob/master/versions/en/toml-v0.4.0.md)

## Features
Go-toml provides the following features for using data parsed from TOML documents:
* Load TOML documents from files and string data
* Easily navigate TOML structure using Tree
* Mashaling and unmarshaling to and from data structures
* Line & column position data for all parsed elements
* [Query support similar to JSON-Path](query/)
* Syntax errors contain line and column numbers
## Import
```go
import "github.com/pelletier/go-toml"
```
## Usage example
Read a TOML document:
```go
config, _ := toml.Load(`
[postgres]
user = "pelletier"
password = "mypassword"`)
// retrieve data directly
user := config.Get("postgres.user").(string)
// or using an intermediate object
postgresConfig := config.Get("postgres").(*toml.Tree)
password := postgresConfig.Get("password").(string)
```
Or use Unmarshal:
```go
type Postgres struct {
User string
Password string
}
type Config struct {
Postgres Postgres
}
doc := []byte(`
[Postgres]
User = "pelletier"
Password = "mypassword"`)
config := Config{}
toml.Unmarshal(doc, &config)
fmt.Println("user=", config.Postgres.User)
```
Or use a query:
```go
// use a query to gather elements without walking the tree
q, _ := query.Compile("$..[user,password]")
results := q.Execute(config)
for ii, item := range results.Values() {
fmt.Println("Query result %d: %v", ii, item)
}
```
## Documentation
The documentation and additional examples are available at
[godoc.org](http://godoc.org/github.com/pelletier/go-toml).
## Tools
Go-toml provides two handy command line tools:
* `tomll`: Reads TOML files and lint them.
```
go install github.com/pelletier/go-toml/cmd/tomll
tomll --help
```
* `tomljson`: Reads a TOML file and outputs its JSON representation.
```
go install github.com/pelletier/go-toml/cmd/tomljson
tomljson --help
```
