go/packages: allow types loading without NeedDeps

Before separating Load* into Need* we could use LoadSyntax
to get types information by loading inital packages
from source code and loading it's direct dependencies from export data.
It was broken when separation was introduced and before this commit
everything was loading from source code what resulted into slow
loading times. This commit fixes it.

Also, do backwards-incompatible fix of definition of deprecated
LoadImports and LoadAllSyntax.

Improve an internal error message
"internal error: nil Pkg importing x from y": replace it with
"internal error: package x without types was imported from y".

Remove packages.NeedDeps request for loading in tests
TestLoadTypesBits and TestContainsOverlayXTest.

Fixes golang/go#31752, fixes golang/go#33077, fixes golang/go#32814,
          fixes golang/go#31699, fixes golang/go#31930

Go Tools

This subrepository holds the source for various packages and tools that support the Go programming language.

Some of the tools, godoc and vet for example, are included in binary Go distributions.

Others, including the Go guru and the test coverage tool, can be fetched with go get.

Packages include a type-checker for Go and an implementation of the Static Single Assignment form (SSA) representation for Go programs.

Download/Install

The easiest way to install is to run go get -u golang.org/x/tools/.... You can also manually git clone the repository to $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/tools.
