please conform to the style of existing code and general Go formatting

### Language

Since `xorm` is a world-wide open source project, please describe your issues or code changes in English as soon as possible.

### Sign your codes with comments

### Patch review

Help review existing open [pull requests](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests) by commenting on the code or
proposed functionality.

### Bug reports

We appreciate any bug reports, but especially ones with self-contained
(doesn't depend on code outside of xorm), minimal (can't be simplified
further) test cases. It's especially helpful if you can submit a pull
request with just the failing test case(you can find some example test file like [session_get_test.go](https://gitea.com/xorm/xorm/src/branch/master/session_get_test.go)).

If you implements a new database interface, you maybe need to add a test_<databasename>.sh file.
For example, [mysql_test.go](https://gitea.com/xorm/xorm/src/branch/master/test_mysql.sh)

### New functionality

There are a number of pending patches for new functionality, so
additional feature patches will take a while to merge. Still, patches
are generally reviewed based on usefulness and complexity in addition
to time-in-queue, so if you have a knockout idea, take a shot. Feel
free to open an issue discussion your proposed patch beforehand.
