Adds followinf methods:

• CompileTest(packagePath string, args ...string) (compiledPath string, err error)

I changed name of functions of #410. I suggested BuildTest..., but implemented CompileTest... so it matches the -c flags of go test and there is no confusion between a TestBuild(*testing.T) method and the one I implemented here.

Thanks to the last commit, gexec is now able to get test package before compile it :-)

whoops sorry! thanks for the ping (and the code!) - will take a look today.

I've had a very cursory look at this and did have two thoughts (which are very much thoughts rather than objections):

• with regard to GetAndCompileTest(), is there an argument that Get() could be independent, so it could be chained with CompileTest() or with something else?
• $GOPATH is on the way to being deprecated. I can see that this PR builds consistency with previous Gexec behaviour, and I do like being consistent. But I was wondering whether we might end up deprecating some of these functions quite soon when (or if) $GOPATH is removed?

Hello @blgm,

Thank you for taking care of my PR 👍

• Get() Could be independent but atm it will be used only for CompileTest().
  An valid argument would be to implement more go commands such as go vet?
  Not sure about the terms chained with, I did not imagine to have chained method Get().CompileTest(), I rather expected

  func Test() {
    Get(packageName)
    CompileTest(packageName)
  }

  I agree that the first one looks nice. :-)
  I am not sure that a new structure should be introduced to handle the result of Get().
  WDYT, should I introduce this structure? Suggestion:

  type GoGet interface{
    CompileTest(args ...string) (string, error)
    CompileTestWithEnv(envs []string, args ...string) (string, error)
    Build(args ...string) (string, error)
    BuildWithEnv(envs []string, args ...string) (string, error)
  }
  
  func Get(packagePath) GoGet

  BTW in order to nicely chain methods, the GoGet objct will need to store the error in order to be raised with a final functions.

• About $GOPATH I have no idea, I am sorry to tell you that I did not event know that it is deprecated. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks @holyhope - I expect the $GOPATH stuff will need some attention at some point. For now I'm happy to pull this in as is.
