This lets us start taking advantage of featurs from Go 1.23,
particularly tracking aliases in go/types and iterators.
Note that we need to add code to properly handle or skip over the new
*types.Alias type which go/types produces for Go type aliases.
Also note that we actually turn this mode off entirely for now,
due to the bug reported at https://go.dev/issue/70394.
We don't yet remove our own alias tracking code yet due to the above.
We hope to be able to remove it very soon.
Go 1.21.0 was released in August 2023, so our upcoming release
will no longer support the Go 1.20 release series.
The first Go 1.22 release candidate is also due in December 2023,
less than a month from now, so dropping 1.20 will simplify 1.22 work.
The first makes our test scripts more consistent, as all external
program executions happen via "exec" and are not as easily confused
with custom builtin commands like our "generate-literals".
The second catches mistakes if any of our txtar files have duplicate
files, where all but one of the contents would be ignored before.
A main package can be imported in one edge case we weren't testing:
when the same main package has any tests, which implicitly import main.
Before the fix, we would panic:
> garble test -v ./...
# test/bar/somemaintest.test
panic: main packages should never need to obfuscate their import paths
Following the best practices from upstream.
In particular, the "txt" extension is somewhat ambiguous.
This may cause some conflicts due to the git diff noise,
but hopefully we won't ever do this again.
