Alan Donovan 2336c53cf0 cmd/guru: compute referrers as packages are type checked
This CL makes little observable difference to the behavior but paves the
way for streaming 'referrers' and (later) 'implements' queries which
scan the entire workspace, but print each result as soon as it is found.

The go/loader package now exposes a hook, AfterTypeCheck, that lets
clients inspect each package as soon as it is type-checked, and also
modify it, for instance to release unneeded data structures.

A 'referrers' query applied to an exported object must scan the entire
workspace.  It uses this hook so to gather uses of the query object in
streaming fashion.  However, for now, it still accumulates the results
and prints them all at the end, though I propose to change that in a
follow-up.

Code details:
- The referrers logic had a 2-iteration loop to load first the query
  package and then if necessary the enlarged program.  The second
  iteration has now been unrolled and split into globalReferrers.
- Queries for package names (whether in a package declaration or
  a qualified identifier) have been split off into packageReferrers.
  It now loads all direct importers of the query package,
  which catches some references that were missing before.
  (It used to inspect only the forward dependencies of the query
  package.)

Also:
- Referrers.Pos (the position of query identifier) was removed from the
  JSON output.  It's a nuisance to compute now, and it's already
  absent from the plain output.
  (In a follow-up, I plan to simplify the information content of the
  JSON output exactly what is currently printed in the plain output.)
