cmd/go: avoid link errors when -coverpkg covers main packages
The -coverpkg lets users specify a list of packages that should have coverage instrumentation. This may include packages not transitively imported by tests. For each tested package, the synthetic main package imports all covered packages so they can be registered with testing.RegisterCover. This makes it possible for a main package to import another main package. When we compile a package with p.Internal.BuildInfo set (set on main packages by Package.load in module mode), we set runtime/debug.modinfo. Multiple main packages may be passed to the linker because of the above scenario, so this causes duplicate symbol errors. This change copies p.Internal.BuildInfo to the synthetic main package instead of the internal test package. Additionally, it forces main packages imported by the synthetic test main package to be recompiled for testing. Recompiled packages won't have p.Internal.BuildInfo set.
