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.
Fixes#9955

Remove all dependencies from non-test code in go/ssa to go/loader,
except the deprecated Create function which will be eliminated in
favor of ssautil.CreateProgram in a mechnanical followup.
Add Examples of two main use cases of SSA construction:
loading a complete program from source; and
building a single package, loading its dependencies from import data.
Add tests to ssautil of the two load functions.
Suggestions welcome for better names.
Planned follow-ups:
- replace all references to ssa.Create with ssautil.CreateProgram and eliminate it.
- eliminate support in go/loader for the ImportBinary flag, and the
PackageCreated hook which is no longer needed since clients can
create the package themselves (see Example).
Step 1 to fixing issue 9955.
