Cherry Mui 849770dec9 cmd/compile: disallow linkname referring to instantiations ...

Linknaming an instantiated generic symbol isn't particularly
useful: it doesn't guarantee the instantiation exists, and the
instantiated symbol name may be subject to change. Checked with a
large code corpus, currently there is no occurrance of linkname
to an instantiated generic symbol (or symbol with a bracket in its
name). This also suggests that it is not very useful. Linkname is
already an unsafe mechanism. We don't need to allow it to do more
unsafe things without justification.
