cmd/go: switch to entirely content-based staleness determination

This CL changes the go command to base all its rebuilding decisions
on the content of the files being processed and not their file system
modification times. It also eliminates the special handling of release
toolchains, which were previously considered always up-to-date
because modification time order could not be trusted when unpacking
a pre-built release.

The go command previously tracked "build IDs" as a backup to
modification times, to catch changes not reflected in modification times.
For example, if you remove one .go file in a package with multiple .go
files, there is no modification time remaining in the system that indicates
that the installed package is out of date. The old build ID was the hash
of a list of file names and a few other factors, expected to change if
those factors changed.

This CL moves to using this kind of build ID as the only way to
detect staleness, making sure that the build ID hash includes all
possible factors that need to influence the rebuild decision.

One such factor is the compiler flags. As of this CL, if you run

	go build -gcflags -N cmd/gofmt

you will get a gofmt where every package is built with -N,
regardless of what may or may not be installed already.

Another such factor is the linker flags. As of this CL, if you run

	go install myprog
	go install -ldflags=-s myprog

the second go install will now correctly build a new myprog with
the updated linker flags. (Previously the installed myprog appeared
up-to-date, because the ldflags were not included in the build ID.)

Because we have more precise information we can also validate whether
the target of a "go test -c" operation is already the right binary and
therefore can avoid a rebuild.

This CL sets us up for having a more general build artifact cache,
maybe even a step toward not having a pkg directory with .a files,
but this CL does not take that step. For now the result of go install
is the same as it ever was; we just do a better job of what needs to
be installed.

This CL does slow down builds a small amount by reading all the
dependent source files in full. (The go command already read the
beginning of every dependent source file to discover build tags
and imports.) On my MacBook Pro, before this CL all.bash takes
3m58s, while after this CL and a few optimizations stacked above it
all.bash takes 4m28s. Given that CL 73850 cut 1m43s off the all.bash
time earlier today, we can afford adding 30s back for now.
More optimizations are planned that should make the go command
more efficient than it was even before this CL.

Fixes #15799.
Fixes #18369.
Fixes #19340.
Fixes #21477.
