go/types: in TestStdlib, import from source instead of export data
TestStdlib was failing after running
rm -r $(go env GOROOT)/pkg/*/cmd
as the builders do when building binary releases.¹
For users who write programs that depend on go/types, it should be
reasonable to run the tests for go/types as part of 'go test all', and
those tests should pass even if they installed Go from a binary
release.
I had originally drafted this as a fallback to import from source only
if the affected packages can't be imported by the default export-data
importer. Unfortunately, I realized that we don't currently have a
builder that tests the actual release (#46900), so it is quite likely
that the fallback path would bit-rot and produce unexpected test
regressions.
So instead, we now unconditionally import from source in TestStdlib.
That makes the test substantially slower (~15s instead of ~5s on my
workstation), but with less risk of regression, and TestStdlib is
skipped in short mode already so short-mode test time is unaffected.
If we change the builders to test the actual release configuration, we
can consider restoring the faster path when export data is available.
