A type may now have a type param in it, either because it has been
composed from a function type param, or it has been declared as or
derived from a reference to a generic type. No objects or types with
type params can be exported yet. No generic type has a runtime
descriptor (but will likely eventually be associated with a dictionary).
types.Type now has an RParam field, which for a Named type can specify
the type params (in order) that must be supplied to fully instantiate
the type. Also, there is a new flag HasTParam to indicate if there is
a type param (TTYPEPARAM) anywhere in the type.
An instantiated generic type (whether fully instantiated or
re-instantiated to new type params) is a defined type, even though there
was no explicit declaration. This allows us to handle recursive
instantiated types (and improves printing of types).
To avoid the need to transform later in the compiler, an instantiation
of a method of a generic type is immediately represented as a function
with the method as the first argument.
Added 5 tests on generic types to test/typeparams, including list.go,
which tests recursive generic types.

- Create the stencil name using targ.Type.String(), which handles cases
where, for example, a type argument is a pointer to a named type,
etc. *obj.
- Set name.Def properly for a new stenciled func (have the symbol point
back to the associated function node). Will be required when exporting.
- Add missing copying of Func field when making copies of Name nodes.
(On purpose (it seems), Name nodes don't have a copy() function, so
we have to copy all the needed fields explicitly.)
- Deal with nil type in subster.node(), which is the type of the return
value for a function that doesn't return anything.
- Fix min to match standard want/go form, and add in float tests. Changed
Got -> got in bunch of other typeparam tests.
- Add new tests index.go, settable.go, and smallest.go (similar to
examples in the type param proposal), some of which need the above
changes.

When doing a type conversion using a type param, delay the
transformation to OCONV/OCONVNOP until stenciling, since the nodes
created depend on the actual type.
Re-enable the fact.go test.

- Have to delay the extra transformation on methods invoked on a type
param, since the actual transformation (including path through
embedded fields) will depend on the instantiated type. I am currently
doing the transformation during the stencil substitution phase. We
probably should have a separate pass after noder2 and stenciling,
which drives the extra transformations that were in the old
typechecker.
- We handle method values (that are not called) and method calls. We
don't currently handle method expressions.
- Handle type substitution in function types, which is needed for
function args in generic functions.
- Added stringer.go and map.go tests, testing the above changes
(including constraints with embedded interfaces).

- Handle generic function calling itself or another generic function in
stenciling. This is easy - after it is created, just scan an
instantiated generic function for function instantiations (that may
needed to be stenciled), just like non-generic functions. The types
in the function instantiation will already have been set by the
stenciling.
- Handle OTYPE nodes in subster.node() (allows for generic type
conversions).
- Eliminated some duplicated work in subster.typ().
- Added new test case fact.go that tests a generic function calling
itself, and simple generic type conversions.
- Cause an error if a generic function is to be exported (which we
don't handle yet).
- Fixed some suggested changes in the add.go test case that I missed in
the last review.

with some simple derived types based on type params.
Include a few new typeparam tests min.go and add.go which involve

This change makes a first connection between the compiler and types2.
When the -G flag is provided, the compiler accepts code using type
parameters; with this change generic code is also type-checked (but
then compilation ends).

For now, the compiler only parses such files and then exits.
