In an attempt to address issue #65790 (confusing error messages),
quoting of names was introduced for some (but not all) names used
in error messages.
That CL solved the issue at hand at the cost of extra punctuation
(the quotes) plus some inconsistency (not all names were quoted).
This CL removes the quoting again in favor or adding a qualifying noun
(such as "name", "label", "package", "built-in" etc.) before a user-
specified name where needed.
For instance, instead of
invalid argument to `max'
we now say
invalid argument to built-in max
There's still a chance for confusion. For instance, before an error
might have been
`sadly' not exported by package X
and now it would be
name sadly not exported by package X
but adverbs (such as "sadly") seem unlikely names in programs.
This change touches a lot of files but only affects error messages.
Fixes#67685.

Use `' quotes (as in `foo') to differentiate from Go quotes.
Quoting prevents confusion when user-supplied names alter
the meaning of the error message.
For instance, report
duplicate method `wanted'
rather than
duplicate method wanted
Exceptions:
- don't quote _:
`_' is ugly and not necessary
- don't quote after a ":":
undefined name: foo
- don't quote if the name is used correctly in a statement:
goto L jumps over variable declaration
Quoting is done with a helper function and can be centrally adjusted
and fine-tuned as needed.
Adjusted some test cases to explicitly include the quoted names.
Fixes#65790.

Support for overlapping interfaces is a new (proposed) Go language
feature to be supported in Go 1.14, so it shouldn't be supported under
-lang=go1.13 or earlier.
Fixes#34329.
