cmd/go: rebuild as needed for tests of packages that add methods

If A's external test package imports B, which imports A,
and A's (internal) test code also adds something to A that
invalidates anything in the export data from a build of A
without its test code, then strictly speaking we need to
rebuild B against the test-augmented version of A before
using it to build A's external test package.

We've been skating by without doing this for a very long time,
but I knew we'd need to handle it better eventually,
I planned for it in the new build cache simplifications,
and the code was ready. Now that we have a real-world
test case that needs it, turn on the "proper rebuilding" code.

It doesn't really matter how much things slow down, since
a real-world test cases that caused an internal compiler error
before is now handled correctly, but it appears to be small:
I wasn't able to measure an effect on "go test -a -c fmt".
And of course most builds won't use -a and will be cached well.

Fixes #6204.
Fixes #23701.
