cmd/go: eliminate redundancy in import error messages

This change introduces a new interface, load.ImportPathError. An error
may satisfy this by providing an ImportPath method and including the
import path in its error text. modload.ImportMissingError satisfies
this interface. load.ImportErrorf also provides a convenient way to
create an error satisfying this interface with an arbitrary message.

When load.PackageError formats its error text, it may omit the last
path on the import stack if the wrapped error satisfies
ImportPathError and has a matching path.

To make this work, PackageError.Err is now an error instead of a
string. PackageError.MarshalJSON will write Err as a string for
'go list -json' output.

When go/build.Import invokes 'go list' in module mode, it now runs
with '-e' and includes '.Error' in the output format instead of
expecting the error to be in the raw stderr text. If a package error
is printed and a directory was not found, the error will be returned
without extra decoration.

Fixes #34752
