David Chase d4bb72b485 cmd/internal/gc: improve "type *X has no field or method M" message
Try to provide hints for common areas, either *interface
were interface would have been better, and note incorrect
capitalization (but don't be more ambitious than that, at
least not today).

Added code and test for cases

  ptrInterface.ExistingMethod
  ptrInterface.unexportedMethod
  ptrInterface.MissingMethod
  ptrInterface.withwRongcASEdMethod
  interface.withwRongcASEdMethod
  ptrStruct.withwRongcASEdMethod
  struct.withwRongcASEdMethod

also included tests for related errors to check for
unintentional changes and consistent wording.

Somewhat simplified from previous versions to avoid second-
guessing user errors, yet also biased to point out most-likely
root cause.

Fixes #10700
