Previously, we used a single "untyped number" type for all untyped
numeric constants. This led to vague error messages like "string(1.0)"
reporting that "1 (type untyped number)" can't be converted to string,
even though "string(1)" is valid.
This CL makes cmd/compile more like go/types by utilizing
types.Ideal{int,rune,float,complex} instead of types.Types[TIDEAL],
and keeping n.Type in sync with n.Val().Ctype() during constant
folding.
Thanks to K Heller for looking into this issue, and for the included
test case.
Fixes#21979.

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.
