[dev.typeparams] cmd/compile: formalize "hidden parameters" idea

This CL formalizes the closure-var trick used for method-value
wrappers to be reusable for defining other functions that take hidden
parameters via the closure-context register. In particular, it:

1. Adds a new ir.NewHiddenParam function for creating hidden
parameters.

2. Changes ir.NewClosureVar to copy Type/Typecheck from the closure
variable, so that callers can needing to manually copy these.

3. Updates existing code accordingly (i.e., method-value wrappers to
start using ir.NewHiddenParam, and closure builders to stop copying
types).

Longer term, I anticipate using this to pass dictionaries to stenciled
functions within unified IR.
