cmd/compile, go/types: restore 'too many return values' error for func with no results

Currently the code handles the case of returning values from
a function with no result parameters as a special case.
Consider this input:

	package p

	func f0_2()            { return 1, 2 }
	func f0_1()            { return 1 }
	func f1_0() int        { return }
	func f1_2() int        { return 1, 2 }
	func f2_0() (int, int) { return }
	func f2_1() (int, int) { return 1 }

The errors are:

	x.go:3:33: no result values expected   <<<
	x.go:4:33: no result values expected   <<<
	x.go:5:26: not enough return values
		have ()
		want (int)
	x.go:6:36: too many return values
		have (number, number)
		want (int)
	x.go:7:26: not enough return values
		have ()
		want (int, int)
	x.go:8:33: not enough return values
		have (number)
		want (int, int)

There are two problems with the current special case emitting the
errors on the marked line:

1. It calls them 'result values' instead of 'return values'.
2. It doesn't show the type being returned, which can be useful to programmers.

Using the general case solves both these problems,
so this CL removes the special case and calls the general case instead.

Now those two errors read:

	x.go:3:33: too many return values
		have (number, number)
		want ()
	x.go:4:33: too many return values
		have (number)
		want ()

Fixes #50653.
