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 reverts commit 2da9c3e0f9.
Reason for revert: while the new error messages are more informative,
they're not strictly correct. This CL also conflicts with CL 187657.

This addresses the remaining tech debt on issue 21979.
The aforementioned previous CL silenced one of two mostly redundant
compiler errors. However, the silenced error was the more expressive
error. This CL now imbues the surviving error with the same level
of expressiveness as the old semi-redundant error.
