compiler: analyze queries concurrently on the analysis core

parseQueries now reads and parses every file first, then analyzes the
statements, then assembles the result. Splitting those phases lets the
middle one run concurrently, and keeps the output deterministic: results
land in a slice indexed by source position, so queries and errors come out
in source order however they were produced.

Only the analysis core runs concurrently. It reads the catalog and nothing
else, and the catalog it reads is an immutable file, so its connections are
no longer pinned to one. Every other path holds state a second goroutine
would race — a database connection, the legacy catalog — and stays serial.

Analyzing 200 queries against a warm catalog: 88ms -> 76ms per run on four
cores, with the analysis phase itself going from about 35ms to 23ms.
