[release-branch.go1.21] go/types, types2: remove order dependency in inference involving channels
In inexact unification, when a named type matches against an inferred
unnamed type, we change the previously inferred type to the named type.
This preserves the type name and assignability.
We have to do the same thing when encountering a directional channel:
a bidirectional channel can always be assigned to a directional channel
but not the other way around. Thus, if we see a directional channel, we
must choose the directional channel.
This CL extends the previously existing logic for named types to
directional channels and also makes the code conditional on inexact
unification. The latter is an optimization - if unification is exact,
type differences don't exist and updating an already inferred type has
no effect.
Fixes #62205.
