I'm working through linter complaints, these are some fixes. Broad
categories:
1) Ignore errors where we can ignore errors: add "_ = ..." construct.
you can argue that this is annoying noise, but apart from silencing the
linter it *does* serve the purpose of highlighting that an error is
being ignored. I think this is OK, because the linter highlighted some
error cases I wasn't aware of (starting CPU profiles, for example).
2) Untyped constants where we though we had set the type.
3) A real bug where we ineffectually assigned to a shadowed err.
4) Some dead code removed.
There'll be more of these, because not all packages are fixed, but the
diff was already large enough.
The purpose of this operation is to separate the serving of GUI assets a
bit from the serving of the REST API. It's by no means complete. The end
goal is something like a combined server type that embeds a statics
server and an API server and wraps it in authentication and HTTPS and
stuff, plus possibly a named pipe server that only provides the API and
does not wrap in the same authentication etc.
