refactor "current package" with TOOLEXEC_IMPORTPATH (#266)

Now that we've dropped support for Go 1.15.x, we can finally rely on
this environment variable for toolexec calls, present in Go 1.16.

Before, we had hacky ways of trying to figure out the current package's
import path, mostly from the -p flag. The biggest rough edge there was
that, for main packages, that was simply the package name, and not its
full import path.

To work around that, we had a restriction on a single main package, so
we could work around that issue. That restriction is now gone.

The new code is simpler, especially because we can set curPkg in a
single place for all toolexec transform funcs.

Since we can always rely on curPkg not being nil now, we can also start
reusing listedPackage.Private and avoid the majority of repeated calls
to isPrivate. The function is cheap, but still not free.

isPrivate itself can also get simpler. We no longer have to worry about
the "main" edge case. Plus, the sanity check for invalid package paths
is now unnecessary; we only got malformed paths from goobj2, and we now
require exact matches with the ImportPath field from "go list -json".

Another effect of clearing up the "main" edge case is that -debugdir now
uses the right directory for main packages. We also start using
consistent debugdir paths in the tests, for the sake of being easier to
read and maintain.

Finally, note that commandReverse did not need the extra call to "go
list -toolexec", as the "shared" call stored in the cache is enough. We
still call toolexecCmd to get said cache, which should probably be
simplified in a future PR.

While at it, replace the use of the "-std" compiler flag with the
Standard field from "go list -json".
