Catch panics when calling GoString like fmt %#v does

This handles a few cases (similar to how fmt %#v does):

1. A GoString method on a value receiver, called with a nil pointer
2. A GoString method on a pointer receiver that doesn't check for nil
3. A GoString method that panics in some other way

Because Go 1.17 added a method Time.GoString with value receiver, this
broke structs that had *time.Time fields with nil values (which is
common!).

Also added a bunch of tests for these cases.

Fixes kr#77
