Robert Griesemer 4068fb6c21 cmd/compile: always accept 1.18 syntax but complain if not 1.18 ...

This CL configures the parser to always accept 1.18 syntax
(type parameters, type instantiations, interface elements),
even when -lang is set to an earlier release.

Instead, the type checker looks for 1.18 operations and
complains if the language version is set to an earlier
release.

Doing these checks during type checking is necessary because it
it is possible to write "generic" code using pre-1.18 syntax;
for instance, an imported generic function may be implicitly
instantiated (as in imported.Max(2, 3)), or an imported constraint
interface may be embedded in an "ordinary" interface.

Fixes #47818.
