Add gob mode to support custom package loading techniques in place of…

… `--exec_only` (#214)

Change #207 replaced reflect mode with package mode. In doing so, we no
longer had to create separate reflect programs that would encode the
resulting package into a gob for the rest of mockgen to read from.
Because of that, we removed the `--exec_only` flag.

However, this flag was actually used to pass in programs that created
gob encodings in other ways, allowing customization of the package
loading and encoding portion of mockgen. As an alternative, this adds a
new flag to mockgen `--model_gob`, which allows mockgen users to pass a
path to a gob encoding of a `model.Package`, so that custom programs for
encoding package information can still be used in conjunction with
mockgen.
