Change the rules for how //go:build "file versions" are applied: instead
of considering whether a file version is an upgrade or downgrade from
the -lang version, always use max(fileVersion, go1.21). This prevents
file versions from downgrading the version below go1.21. Before Go 1.21
the //go:build version did not have the meaning of setting the file's
langage version.
This fixes an issue that was appearing in GOPATH builds: Go 1.23.0
started providing -lang versions to the compiler in GOPATH mode (among
other places) which it wasn't doing before, and it set -lang to the
toolchain version (1.23). Because the -lang version was greater than
go1.21, language version used to compile the file would be set to the
//go:build file version. //go:build file versions below 1.21 could cause
files that could previously build to stop building.
For example, take a Go file with a //go:build line specifying go1.10.
If that file used a 1.18 feature, that use would compile fine with a Go
1.22 toolchain. But it would produce an error when compiling with the
1.23.0 toolchain because it set the language version to 1.10 and
disallowed the 1.18 feature. This breaks backwards compatibility: when
the build tag was added, it did not have the meaning of restricting the
language version.

The test directory contains tests of the Go tool chain and runtime.
It includes black box tests, regression tests, and error output tests.
They are run as part of all.bash.
To run just these tests, execute:
../bin/go test cmd/internal/testdir
To run just tests from specified files in this directory, execute:
../bin/go test cmd/internal/testdir -run='Test/(file1.go|file2.go|...)'
Standard library tests should be written as regular Go tests in the appropriate package.
The tool chain and runtime also have regular Go tests in their packages.
The main reasons to add a new test to this directory are:
it is most naturally expressed using the test runner; or
it is also applicable to gccgo and other Go tool chains.
