The Importer type has been replaced with Config and Program.
Clients populate a Config, directly or more usually via
convenience functions. They then call its Load() method to do
all of the typechecking and transitive-closure computation.
ssa.NewProgram and ssa.CreatePackages have been fused into
ssa.Create, which now cannot fail, since (*Config).Load()
reports all type errors.
Also:
- The addition of an ssa.GlobalDebug builder mode flag
eliminates a loop-over-packages repeated in many clients.
- PackageInfo.Err flag unexported. Clients never see bad infos now.
- cmd/ssadump: now only looks for func "main" in package "main".
- importsOf deleted, was dead code.
STILL TODO:
- ParseFile seems like API creep (though it's convenient)
and CreateFromFiles is dangerous (w.r.t. FileSet identity).
Need to think more...
- the need for clients to rely on elementwise correspondence
of Config.CreatePkgs and Program.Created is a little sad.
- The command-line interface has not changed.
That will happen in a follow-up.
r recommends using a repeated flag: -package p -package q ...

Packages were not being created for all types.Packages,
specifically, indirectly imported packages were missing.
(*Program).CreatePackages now iterates over the type-checker's
package map too.
Also: removed all concurrency from importer. I think it was
incorrect (and hard to fix).
Also: change LoadInitialPackages so that all named packages
are loaded from source. This happens regardless of whether
GCImporter is used to satisfy imports.
Details:
- importer.Config.SourceImports flag determines whether to
load all packages from *.go source.
(Before, this was indicated by Config.Build != nil.)
- importer.Config.Build field effectively defaults to
&go/build.Default. A zero importer.Config is now usable.
- importer.Importer.Config field is now exported.
- LoadPackage renamed to ImportPackage since the resulting
packages may come from GCImporter (and be incomplete).
- doImport and ImportPackage fused.

The new method is functionally identical to typeCheck, and
obviates the LoadMainPackage method.
Updated all clients.
Fixes bug 6561.

Also: pointer.Analyze now returns a pointer.Result object,
containing the callgraph and the results of ssa.Value queries.
The oracle has been updated to use the new call and pointer APIs.
