Say you have foo.go and foo_test.go yielding packages "foo" and
"foo.test". Previously when you changed foo_test.go we would
invalidate the foo.test and foo packages. Invalidating foo is not
necessary since it does not depend on any test files. Furthermore, it
caused problems because nothing would refetch foo's metadata until
foo.go changed, so various things (such as finding implementations in
packages that depend on "foo") would be broken.
Now we only invalidate metadata from packages that contain the
modified file. We only invalidate type info from packages that contain
the modified file, or from such packages' transitive reverse
dependencies.
