cmd/go/internal/modload: use a structured error for 'ambiguous import'

This consolidates the construction of 'ambiguous import' errors to a
single location, ensuring consistency, and lays the groundwork for
automatic resolution in the future.

While we're at it, change "found" to "found package" to try to make
the cause of the error clearer.
