(Motivation: "Literal" is a syntactic property, not a semantic one.)
Also: delete a "TODO: opt" that the lifting pass already does for us.

This CL adds three new functions to determine the SSA Value
for a given syntactic var, func or const object:
Program.{Const,Func,Var}Value.
Since constants and functions are immutable, the first
two only need a types.Object; but each distinct
reference to a var may return a distinct Value, so the third
requires an ast.Ident parameter too.
Debug information for local vars is encoded in the
instruction stream in the form of DebugRef instructions,
which are a no-op but relate their operand to a particular
ident in the AST. The beauty of this approach is that it
naturally stays consistent during optimisation passes
(e.g. lifting) without additional bookkeeping.
DebugRef instructions are only generated if the DebugMode
builder flag is set; I plan to make the policy more fine-
grained (per function).
DebugRef instructions are inserted for:
- expr(Ident) for rvalue idents
- address.store() for idents that update an lvalue
- address.address() for idents that take address of lvalue
(this new method replaces all uses of lval.(address).addr)
- expr() for all constant expressions
- local ValueSpecs with implicit zero initialization (no RHS)
(this case doesn't call store() or address())
To ensure we don't forget to emit debug info for uses of Idents,
we must use the lvalue mechanism consistently. (Previously,
many simple cases had effectively inlined these functions.)
Similarly setCallFunc no longer inlines expr(Ident).
Also:
- Program.Value() has been inlined & specialized.
- Program.Package() has moved nearer the new lookup functions.
- refactoring: funcSyntax has lost paramFields, resultFields;
gained funcType, which provides access to both.
- add package-level constants to Package.values map.
- opt: don't call localValueSpec for constants.
(The resulting code is always optimised away.)
There are a number of comments asking whether Literals
should have positions. Will address in a follow-up.
Added tests of all interesting cases.

Before, all values received on some channel by Select would
flow to an empty interface, creating a spurious confluence for
flow analyses. Now, the tuple returned by Select has one
component for each 'receive' case.
Also, fixes:
- Removed workarounds for now-fixed typechecker bug in FuncLit+TypeAssert.
- sanity check that all Value Instructions have non-nil Type().
- Convert: document and sanity-check that at least one of the types is basic.
Also, other things to help clients:
- Define CallInstruction interface: common parts of Call, Go, Defer.
- Add CallCommon.Signature() method.
- Literal.Pos() is now populated.

Method sets:
- Simplify CallCommon.
Avoid the implicit copy when calling a T method on a *T
receiver. This simplifies clients. Instead we generate
"indirection wrapper" functions that do this (like gc does).
New invariant:
m's receiver type is exactly T for all m in MethodSet(T)
- MakeInterface no longer holds the concrete type's MethodSet.
We can defer its computation this way.
- ssa.Type now just wraps a types.TypeName object.
MethodSets are computed as needed, not eagerly.
Position info:
- new CanonicalPos utility maps ast.Expr to canonical
token.Pos, as returned by {Instruction,Value}.Pos() methods.
- Don't set posn for implicit operations (e.g. varargs array alloc)
- Set position info for ChangeInterface and Slice instructions.
Cosmetic:
- add Member.Token() method
- simplify isPointer
- Omit words "interface", "slice" when printing MakeInterface,
MakeSlice; the type is enough.
- Comments on PathEnclosingInterval.
- Remove Function.FullName() where implicit String() suffices.
Also:
- Exposed NewLiteral to clients.
- Added ssa.Instruction.Parent() *Function
Added ssa.BasicBlock.Parent() *Function.
Added Sanity checks for above.
