[dev.typeparams] cmd/compile/internal/types2: report type of nil based on context
With this CL, the type reported for uses of the predeclared identifier nil changes from untyped nil to the type of the context within which nil is used, matching the behaviour of types2 for other untyped types. If an untyped nil value is assigned or converted to an interface, the nil expression is given the interface type. The predicate TypeAndValue.IsNil doesn't change in behavior, it still reports whether the relevant expression is a (typed or untyped) nil value.
