Combine the two implementations of "library canonicalization"

I was shocked to find that we had two mechanisms for determining an element's
"canonical library": `ModelElement.canonicalLibrary` and a
`PackageGraph._findCanonicalLibraryFor`. They were not quite the same
implementation, but the differences turn out to be uninteresting; the two
implementations can be combined. This change removes
`PackageGraph._findCanonicalLibraryFor`. This implementation was only used in
the package graph to find the canonical element for a given element. That code
can now just use `ModelElement.canonicalLibrary`. It requires a fair bit of
refactoring all over:

* `PackageGraph.findCanonicalModelElementFor` previously accepted an analyzer
  Element, instead of a ModelElement, but almost all of the call sites used
  `foo.element` or some other expression that could easily be replaced with an
  access to a ModelElement instead of the correlated Element.
* Document `ModelElement.definingLibrary`, `ModelElement.canonicalLibrary`,
  `ModelElement._searchForCanonicalLibrary`.
* Simplify `ContainerMember.computeCanonicalEnclosingContainer` to stop
  unnecessarily special-casing extensions and extension types.
* Simplify lookup component of `ModelElement._searchForCanonicalLibrary`.
* Simplity `ContainerMember.referenceGrandparentOverrides` to not use `sync*`.
* Move the top-level `findCanonicalFor` function out of `model_utils.dart` and
  into `inheriting_container.dart`, the only code that uses it anymore.
