bazel packages: precompute 'generator_name' in a syntax traversal

Currently, rule instantiation inspects the call stack to find
the outermost function call f(name="name", ...), where f is known
as the 'generator'. It extracts the name argument from the syntax
tree, and records this as the "generator_name" attribute.
This means that syntax must be available during evalution, and
accessible through the StarlarkThread API.

This change augments the existing static syntax tree traversal
to find potential generator calls, and records the name of each
one, keyed by its call location. Rule instantiation need only
find the location of the enclosing call from StarlarkThread,
which is reasonable even in a compiled implementation.

FuncallExpression is no longer recorded in the StarlarkThread call stack.

No behavior change is expected.
