Changes implementations of proc.Registers interface and the
op.DwarfRegisters struct so that floating point registers can be loaded
only when they are needed.
Removes the floatingPoint parameter from proc.Thread.Registers.
This accomplishes three things:
1. it simplifies the proc.Thread.Registers interface
2. it makes it impossible to accidentally create a broken set of saved
registers or of op.DwarfRegisters by accidentally calling
Registers(false)
3. it improves general performance of Delve by avoiding to load
floating point registers as much as possible
Floating point registers are loaded under two circumstances:
1. When the Slice method is called with floatingPoint == true
2. When the Copy method is called

A significant amount of time is spent generating the string
representation for the proc.Registers object of each thread, since this
field is rarely used (only when the Registers API is called) it should
be generated on demand.
Also by changing the internal representation of proc.Register to be
closer to that of op.DwarfRegister it will help us implement #1838
(when Delve will need to be able to display the registers of an
internal frame, which we currently represent using op.DwarfRegister
objects).

Reduces conditional breakpoint latency from 2.2ms to 1.7ms.

The repository is being switched from the personal account
github.com/derekparker/delve to the organization account
github.com/go-delve/delve. This patch updates imports and docs, while
preserving things which should not be changed such as my name in the
CHANGELOG and in TODO comments.
