[dev.typeparams] cmd/compile/internal/types2: introduce type set abstraction for interfaces

With this change, interfaces are "completed" on-demand, when needed,
and the respective information (set of all methods, type constraints)
is recorded in a new typeSet data structure.

As a consequence, interfaces don't need to be explicitly completed
anymore and (internal) uses of interfaces have become much simpler.

This change also introduces a new field Interface.complete to indicate
that all methods and embedded elements have been set up. This prevent
the computation and recording (!) of a partial type set for erroneous
programs (if we compute the partial type set and store it, subsequent
type set accesses use the wrong type set which may lead to follow-on
errors).
