ODOTMETH is unique among SelectorExpr expressions, in that Sel gets
mangled so that it no longer has the original identifier that was
selected (e.g., just "Foo"), but instead the qualified symbol name for
the selected method (e.g., "pkg.Type.Foo"). This is rarely useful, and
instead results in a lot of compiler code needing to worry about
undoing this change.
This CL changes ODOTMETH to leave the original symbol in place. The
handful of code locations where the mangled symbol name is actually
wanted are updated to use ir.MethodExprName(n).Sym() or (equivalently)
ir.MethodExprName(n).Func.Sym() instead.
Historically, the compiler backend has mistakenly used types.Syms
where it should have used ir.Name/ir.Funcs. And this change in
particular may risk breaking something, as the SelectorExpr.Sel will
no longer point at a symbol that uniquely identifies the called
method. However, I expect CL 280294 (desugar OCALLMETH into OCALLFUNC)
to have substantially reduced this risk, as ODOTMETH expressions are
now replaced entirely earlier in the compiler.
Passes toolstash -cmp.
