cmd/{guru,callgraph}: stop using go/pointer

This change removes the -algo=pta option from cmd/callgraph,
and all the subcommands of cmd/guru, that use pointer analysis.
These features have been poorly supported for a long time,
and the pointer analysis package is about to be tagged and
deleted.

Updates golang/go#59676
