If a user is typing fast, they will quickly invalidate many snapshots.
We don't want to stack up a bunch of stale type check and analysis
operations, so we should propagate cancellation through the cache.
Handles are long-lived, so we may cancel an operation only to
restart it again later. Also, there may be multiple operations waiting on
the same computation, and just because one is cancelled doesn't mean we
should necessarily stop. The easiest way to support all that was to add
an explicit state to each handle, and track the number of waiters.
See the code for more details on Handle life cycles.
As far as I can tell, the rest of gopls is prepared for this behavior.
I added an explicit check to the type checking code, where I was worried
it might get overly confused. But long-term it would probably be good to
return an error from Get.
