go/types, types2: use types2.Config flag to control Alias node creation

Move Checker.enableAlias to Config.EnableAlias (for types2) and
Config._EnableAlias (for go/types), and adjust all uses.

Use Config.EnableAlias to control Alias creation for types2 and
with that remove dependencies on the gotypesalias GODEBUG setting
and problems during bootstrap. The only client is the compiler and
there we simply use the desired configuration; it is undesirable
for the compiler to be dependent on gotypesalias.

Use the gotypesalias GODEBUG setting to control Config._EnableAlias
for go/types (similar to before).

Adjust some related code. We plan to remove gotypesalias eventually
which will remove some of the new discrepancies between types2 and
go/types again.

Fixes #66874.
