spec: combine section on type parameters and type parameter lists
This change moves the relevant prose of the section on type parameters into the section on type parameter lists and eliminates the former. With this change, the section on types now exclusively describes all Go composite types. User-defined named types (defined types and type parameters) are described with their declarations.
