Consider three shared libraries:
libBase.so -- defines a type T
lib2.so -- references type T
lib3.so -- also references type T, and something from lib2
lib2.so will contain a type symbol for T in its symbol table, but no
definition. If, when linking lib3.so the linker reads the symbols from lib2.so
before libBase.so, the linker didn't read the type data and later crashed.
The fix is trivial but the test change is a bit messy because the order the
linker reads the shared libraries in ends up depending on the order of the
import statements in the file so I had to rename one of the test packages so
that gofmt doesn't fix the test by accident...
Fixes#15516
