[release-branch.go1.18] go/types,types2: delay the check for conflicting struct field names
In #52529, we observed that checking types for duplicate fields and
methods during method collection can result in incorrect early expansion
of the base type. Fix this by delaying the check for duplicate fields.
Notably, we can't delay the check for duplicate methods as we must
preserve the invariant that added method names are unique.
After this change, it may be possible in the presence of errors to have
a type-checked type containing a method name that conflicts with a field
name. With the previous logic conflicting methods would have been
skipped. This is a change in behavior, but only for invalid code.
Preserving the existing behavior would likely require delaying method
collection, which could have more significant consequences.
As a result of this change, the compiler test fixedbugs/issue28268.go
started passing with types2, being previously marked as broken. The fix
was not actually related to the duplicate method error, but rather the
fact that we stopped reporting redundant errors on the calls to x.b()
and x.E(), because they are now (valid!) methods.
