Go 1.23 updates the go/types package to produce Alias type nodes for type aliases, unless disabled with gotypesalias=0.
This new default behavior breaks codegen.LookupMethod, which uses checked type assertions to types.Named and
types.Interface, as only named types and interfaces have methods.
In this PR, we update codegen.LookupMethod to perform method lookup on the right-hand side of the alias declaration
and clearly switch on the supported type nodes types. We also improve support for various edge cases, such as when an alias
is used as a type parameter constraint, and add tests for the LookupMethod function.
Additionally, we update cmd/viewer/tests to include types with aliases used in type fields and generic type constraints.

This adds support for generic types and interfaces to our cloner and viewer codegens.
It updates these packages to determine whether to make shallow or deep copies based
on the type parameter constraints. Additionally, if a template parameter or an interface
type has View() and Clone() methods, we'll use them for getters and the cloner of the
owning structure.
