This CL detangles the hairy mess that was convlit+defaultlit. In
particular, it makes the following changes:
1. convlit1 now follows the standard typecheck behavior of setting
"n.Type = nil" if there's an error. Notably, this means for a lot of
test cases, we now avoid reporting useless follow-on error messages.
For example, after reporting that "1 << s + 1.0" has an invalid shift,
we no longer also report that it can't be assigned to string.
2. Previously, assignconvfn had some extra logic for trying to
suppress errors from convlit/defaultlit so that it could provide its
own errors with better context information. Instead, this extra
context information is now passed down into convlit1 directly.
3. Relatedly, this CL also removes redundant calls to defaultlit prior
to assignconv. As a consequence, when an expression doesn't make sense
for a particular assignment (e.g., assigning an untyped string to an
integer), the error messages now say "untyped string" instead of just
"string". This is more consistent with go/types behavior.
4. defaultlit2 is now smarter about only trying to convert pairs of
untyped constants when it's likely to succeed. This allows us to
report better error messages for things like 3+"x"; instead of "cannot
convert 3 to string" we now report "mismatched types untyped number
and untyped string".
Passes toolstash-check.

Very few of the compiler regression tests include a comment
saying waht they do. Many are obvious, some are anything but.
I've started with a-c in the top directory. More will follow once
we agree on the approach, correctness, and thoroughness here.
zerodivide.go sneaked in too.

The allowed conversions before and after are:
type Tstring string
type Tbyte []byte
type Trune []rune
string <-> string // ok
string <-> []byte // ok
string <-> []rune // ok
string <-> Tstring // ok
string <-> Tbyte // was illegal, now ok
string <-> Trune // was illegal, now ok
Tstring <-> string // ok
Tstring <-> []byte // ok
Tstring <-> []rune // ok
Tstring <-> Tstring // ok
Tstring <-> Tbyte // was illegal, now ok
Tstring <-> Trune // was illegal, now ok
Update spec, compiler, tests. Use in a few packages.
We agreed on this a few months ago but never implemented it.
Fixes#1707.
