cmd/compile: fix identity case relating to 'any' and shape types

In identical(), we don't want any to match a shape empty-interface type
for the identStrict option, since IdenticalStrict() is specifically not
supposed to match a shape type with a non-shape type.

There is similar code in (*Type).cmp() (TINTER case), but I don't
believe that we want to disqualify shape types from matching any in this
case, since cmp() is used for back-end code, where we don't care about
shape types vs non-shape types.

The issue mainly comes about when 'any' is used as a type argument
(rather than 'interface{}'), but only with some complicated
circumstances, as shown by the test case. (Couldn't reproduce with
simpler test cases.)

Fixes #50109
