Robert Griesemer 8f19394b62 cmd/compile/internal/types2: refactor untyped conversions
Based on https://golang.org/cl/284256 for go/types.
Brings this code more in line with go/types.

Adjusted various tests to match new error messages which
generally are now better: for assignment errors, instead
of a generic "cannot convert" we now say "cannot use"
followed by a clearer reason as to why not.

Major differences to go/types with respect to the changed
files:

- Some of the new code now returns error codes, but they
  are only used internally for now, and not reported with
  errors.

- go/types does not "convert" untyped nil values to target
  types, but here we do. This is unchanged from how types2
  handled this before this CL.

Alberto Donizetti e99dafc4a8 cmd/compile: fix misleading "truncated to int" messages
When defining an int const, the compiler tries to cast the RHS
expression to int. The cast may fail for three reasons:

  1. expr is an integer constant that overflows int
  2. expr is a floating point constant
  3. expr is a complex constant, or not a number

In the second case, in order to print a sensible error message, we
must distinguish between a floating point constant that should be
included in the error message and a floating point constant that
cannot be reasonably formatted for inclusion in an error message.

For example, in:

  const a int = 1.1
  const b int = 1 + 1e-100

a is in the former group, while b is in the latter, since the floating
point value resulting from the evaluation of the rhs of the assignment
(1.00...01) is too long to be fully printed in an error message, and
cannot be shortened without making the error message misleading
(rounding or truncating it would result in a "1", which looks like an
integer constant, and it makes little sense in an error message about
an invalid floating point expression).

To fix this problem, we try to format the float value using fconv
(which is used by the error reporting mechanism to format float
arguments), and then parse the resulting string back to a
big.Float. If the result is an integer, we assume that expr is a float
value that cannot be reasonably be formatted as a string, and we emit
an error message that does not include its string representation.

Also, change the error message for overflows to a more conservative
"integer too large", which does not mention overflows that are only
caused by an internal implementation restriction.

Also, change (*Mpint) SetFloat so that it returns a bool (instead of
0/-1 for success/failure).

Fixes #11371
