[release-branch.go1.17] go/parser: limit recursion depth

Limit nested parsing to 100,000, which prevents stack exhaustion when
parsing deeply nested statements, types, and expressions. Also limit
the scope depth to 1,000 during object resolution.

Thanks to Juho Nurminen of Mattermost for reporting this issue.

Fixes #53707
Updates #53616
Fixes CVE-2022-1962
