go/types, types2: delay receiver type validation

Delay validation of receiver type as it may cause premature expansion
of types the receiver type is dependent on. This was actually a TODO.

While the diff looks large-ish, the actual change is small: all the
receiver validation code has been moved inside the delayed function
body, and a couple of comments have been adjusted.

Fixes #51232.
Fixes #51233.
