html: move the HTML parser to an exp/html package. The parser is a
work in progress, and we are not ready to freeze its API for Go 1.

Package html still exists, containing just two functions: EscapeString
and UnescapeString.

Both the packages at exp/html and html are "package html". The former
is a superset of the latter.

At some point in the future, the exp/html code will move back into
html, once we have finalized the parser API.

This means that html/template has to move too.

Or maybe not. I thought html/template actually parsed the HTML using
the html package, but it only seems to use html.UnescapeString.

Yes, we've arranged that html/template need not move,
which is good because it's a very useful package.
