Use generics for providers API
Using generics for the providers API allows a type to be associated
with a ProviderKey, resulting in a type-safe API without that doesn't
require runtime type assertions by every caller.
Unfortunately, Go does not allow generic types in methods, only in
functions [1]. This prevents a type-safe API on ModuleContext, and
requires moving the API to be functions that take a ModuleContext as
a parameter.
This CL creates the new API, but doesn't convert all of the callers.
