go/types: don't skip defined types when reporting cycles

The newly introduced "late-stage" cycle detection for types
(https://golang.org/cl/196338/) "skips" named types on the
RHS of a type declaration when reporting a cycle. For instance,
for:

	type (
	   A B
	   B [10]C
	   C A
	)

the reported cycle is:

	illegal cycle in declaration of C
	       C refers to
	       C

because the underlying type of C resolves to [10]C (note that
cmd/compile does the same but simply says invalid recursive
type C).

This CL introduces the Named.orig field which always refers
to the RHS type in a type definition (and is never changed).
By using Named.orig rather than Named.underlying for the type
validity check, the cycle as written in the source code is
reported:

 	illegal cycle in declaration of A
 	       A refers to
 	       B refers to
 	       C refers to
 	       A

Fixes #34771.
