We now support taking the address of objects to make better completion
candidates. For example:
i := 123
var p *int = <> // now you get a candidate for "&i"
This required that we track addressability better, particularly when
searching for deep candidates. Now each candidate knows if it is
addressable, and the deep search propagates addressability to child
candidates appropriately.
The basic propagation logic is:
- In-scope *types.Var candidates are addressable. This handles your
basic "foo" variable whose address if "&foo".
- Surrounding selector is addressable based on type checker info. This
knows "foo.bar.<>" is addressable but "foo.bar().<>" isn't
- When evaluating deep completions, fields after a function call lose
addressability, but fields after a pointer regain addressability. For
example, "foo.bar()" isn't addressable, but "foo.bar().baz" is
addressable if "bar()" returns a pointer.

In situations like:
var buf bytes.Buffer
var w io.Writer = &b<>
if we want to complete to "buf" properly we need to apply the "&" type
modifier to buf's type of bytes.Buffer to see that it is assignable
to type io.Writer. Previously we applied type modifiers in reverse to
the "expected" type (io.Writer in this case), but that is obviously
incorrect in this situation since it is nonsensical to
dereference (the reverse of "&") io.Writer.

Calculate expected type in the following cases:
- switch case statements
- index expressions (e.g. []int{}[<>] or map[string]int{}[<>])
- slice expressions (e.g. []int{}[1:<>])
- channel send statements
- channel receive expression
We now also prefer type names in type switch clauses and type asserts.
