The loader package now loads, parses, and type-checks a whole program
from source, and that is all.
Also:
- simplified loader logic
- ssa.Create is gone; use ssautil.CreateProgram.
- ssautil.LoadPackage renamed to BuildPackage.
It is now independent of go/types' Import hook and the Packages map.
- ssadump: -importbin flag removed.
The value of this flag was that it caused the tool to print IR
for only a single package; this is now the normal behaviour.

...since the zero value is more useful by far.
This is a breaking API change, obviously. (One or two tests in this
CL have intentional been left using the zero value, i.e., they now
load source.)

"static" ignores dynamic calls altogether.
"cha" uses Class Hierarchy Analysis, which assumes that a
dynamic call may dispatch to any func or method that satisfies
the type.
Both these algorithms can work on partial programs,
e.g. libraries without a main function or tests.
(This feature was requested after my talk last night.)
+ Tests.
