cmd/compile: omit ICE diagnostics after normal error messages

After we detect errors, the AST is in a precarious state and more
likely to trip useless ICE failures. Instead let the user fix any
existing errors and see if the ICE persists.  This makes Fatalf more
consistent with how panics are handled by hidePanic.

While here, also fix detection for release versions: release version
strings begin with "go" ("go1.8", "go1.9.1", etc), not "release".

Fixes #22252.
