cmd/go: fix error stacks when there are scanner errors

After golang.org/cl/228784 setLoadPackageDataError tries to decide whether an
error is caused by an imported package or an importing package by examining the
error itself to decide. Ideally, the errors themselves would belong to a
specific interface or some other property to make it unambiguous that they
were import errors. Since they don't, setLoadPackageDataError just checked
for nogoerrors and classified all other errors as import errors. But
it missed scanner errors which are also "caused" by the imported
package.

Fixes #40544
