Fix #237, fix #178: use go/packages

Use go/packages instead of x/tools/loader: it allows to work
with go modules and speedups loading of packages with the help
of build cache.

A lot of linters became "fast": they are enabled by --fast now and
work in 1-2 seconds. Only unparam, interfacer and megacheck
are "slow" linters now.

Average project is analyzed 20-40% faster than before if all linters are
enabled! If we enable all linters except unparam, interfacer and
megacheck analysis is 10-20x faster!
