cmd/compile: don't panic on invalid map key declarations

In golang.org/cl/75310, the compiler's typechecker was changed so that
map key types were validated at a later stage, to make sure that all the
necessary type information was present.

This still worked for map type declarations, but caused a regression for
top-level map variable declarations. These now caused a fatal panic
instead of a typechecking error.

The cause was that checkMapKeys was run too early, before all
typechecking was done. In particular, top-level map variable
declarations are typechecked as external declarations, much later than
where checkMapKeys was run.

Add a test case for both exported and unexported top-level map
declarations, and add a second call to checkMapKeys at the actual end of
typechecking. Simply moving the one call isn't a good solution either;
the comments expand on that.

Fixes #28058.
