There were multiple ad hoc ways to create method symbols, with subtle
and confusing differences between them. This CL unifies them into a
single well-documented encoding and implementation.
This introduces some inconsequential changes to symbol format for the
sake of simplicity and consistency. Two notable changes:
1) Symbol construction is now insensitive to the package currently
being compiled. Previously, non-exported methods on anonymous types
received different method symbols depending on whether the method was
local or imported.
2) Symbols for method values parenthesized non-pointer receiver types
and non-exported method names, and also always package-qualified
non-exported method names. Now they use the same rules as normal
method symbols.
The methodSym function is also now stricter about rejecting
non-sensical method/receiver combinations. Notably, this means that
typecheckfunc needs to call addmethod to validate the method before
calling declare, which also means we no longer emit errors about
redeclaring bogus methods.
