cmd/compile: suppress callsite signatures if any type is unknown

Fixes #19012.

Fallback to return signatures without detailed types.
These error message will be of the form of issue:
* https://golang.org/issues/4215
* https://golang.org/issues/6750

So:
func f(x int, y uint) {
    return x > y
}

f(10, "a" < 3)

will give errors:
too many errors to return
too many arguments in call to f

instead of:

too many errors to return
  have (<T>)
  want ()
too many arguments in call to f
  have (number, <T>)
  want (number, number)
