General cleanup for the configured target / aspect creation code.

- update some comments
- add some comments to make it easier to follow
- delete some dead code, in particular the SkyframeDependencyResolver can
  never be null; remove an non-applicable @Nullable annotation

I'm trying to figure out how the error handling code works, in order to add
support for interleaved loading+analysis, which requires handling loading
errors in this code path.
