// ExtractGoComments will read all the go files contained in the provided path,
// including sub-directories, in order to generate a dictionary of comments
// associated with Types and Fields. The results will be added to the `commentsMap`
// provided in the parameters and expected to be used for Schema "description" fields.
//
// The `go/parser` library is used to extract all the comments and unfortunately doesn't
// have a built-in way to determine the fully qualified name of a package. The `base` paremeter,
// the URL used to import that package, is thus required to be able to match reflected types.
//
// When parsing type comments, we use the `go/doc`'s Synopsis method to extract the first phrase
// only. Field comments, which tend to be much shorter, will include everything.
