deprecated reflect mode has been replaced with package mode (#207)

It is impossible to create an mock for a generic interface via reflect
mode, because it is impossible to compile a generic type without
instantiation.
This PR replaces the reflect mod for parsing using go/types.

All exists mocks have been regenerated and the tests have been passed.
But since this radically changes the behavior of reflect mode, I would
be grateful if there are those who want to add additional test cases
that I did not provide.

We can also come up with another name instead of import mode.

benefits:
generation mocks for generic interfaces
generation mocks for aliases to interfaces
correct names for method arguments
