cmd/go: distinguish patterns from the results of matching them

To date the go command has always just treated the command line
package patterns as a []string, expanded by pattern matching into
another []string. As a result, the code is not always clear about
whether a particular []string contains patterns or results.
A few different important bugs are caused by not keeping
this distinction clear enough. This CL sets us up well for fixing those,
by introducing an explicit search.Match struct holding the
results of matching a single pattern.

The added clarity here also makes it clear how to avoid duplicate
warnings about unmatched packages.

Fixes #26925. (Test in followup CL.)
