Add the keyword parent to the text/template language. The keyword,
when used in place of a template name string in a template execution
node, causes execution of that template to refer to a previously-defined
template of the same name. In the context of template inheritance, this
allows child templates to access the contents of the parent template they
are overriding.

For example:

base template: {{define "title"}Example.com{{end}}

inheriting: {{define "title"}}Welcome - {{template parent .}}{{end}}

Would produce: Welcome - Example.com

Fixes #48266

Message from Go Bot:

Patch Set 1:

Congratulations on opening your first change. Thank you for your contribution!

Next steps:
A maintainer will review your change and provide feedback. See
https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html#review for more info and tips to get your
patch through code review.

Most changes in the Go project go through a few rounds of revision. This can be
surprising to people new to the project. The careful, iterative review process
is our way of helping mentor contributors and ensuring that their contributions
have a lasting impact.

During May-July and Nov-Jan the Go project is in a code freeze, during which
little code gets reviewed or merged. If a reviewer responds with a comment like
R=go1.11 or adds a tag like "wait-release", it means that this CL will be
reviewed as part of the next development cycle. See https://golang.org/s/release
for more details.
