Michael Pratt bfb8924653 cmd/compile: lookup indirect callees from export data for devirtualization
Today, the PGO IR graph only contains entries for ir.Func loaded into
the package. This can include functions from transitive dependencies,
but only if they happen to be referenced by something in the current
package. If they are not referenced, noder never bothers to load them.

This leads to a deficiency in PGO devirtualization: some callee methods
are available in transitive dependencies but do not devirtualize because
they happen to not get loaded from export data.

Resolve this by adding an explicit lookup from export data of callees
mentioned in the profile.

I have chosen to do this during loading of the profile for simplicity:
the PGO IR graph always contains all of the functions we might need.
That said, it isn't strictly necessary. PGO devirtualization could do
the lookup lazily if it decides it actually needs a method. This saves
work at the expense of a bit more complexity, but I've chosen the
simpler approach for now as I measured the cost of this as significantly
less than the rest of PGO loading.

For #61577.
