thepudds d3070a767b cmd/compile/internal/types2: more consistently print "check go.mod" if language version < 1.18
If you attempt to instantiate a generic type or func and run 'go build'
with a language version < 1.18 in the 'go' directive inside the go.mod
file, cmd/compile emits a friendly message that includes the suggestion
to 'check go.mod':

    type instantiation requires go1.18 or later (-lang was set to go1.17; check go.mod)

However, if the code instead only declares a generic type or func
without instantiating, cmd/compile currently emits a less friendly
message:

    type parameters require go1.18 or later

With this CL, the error in that situation becomes:

    type parameter requires go1.18 or later (-lang was set to go1.17; check go.mod)

Within cmd/compile/internal/types2, it already calls check.versionErrorf
in a dozen or so places, including three existing calls to
check.versionErrorf within typeset.go (e.g., for embedding a constraint
interface).

This CL adds two more calls to check.versionErrorf, replacing calls to
check.softErrorf. Both check.versionErrorf and check.softErrorf call
check.err(at, <string>, true) after massaging the string message.

Fixes #51531
