Robert Griesemer ad99d8840e cmd/compile/internal/types2: avoid infinite expansion for invalid recursive generic types
The algorithm for detecting invalid recursive types that
expand indefinitely suffered from the exact problem is was
intended to detect: if the indefinite expansion is happening
through type parameters, the algorithm ended up in an infinite
sequence of instantiations. (This is only a problem for generic
types).

Changed the algorithm to always only consider the "original"
uninstantiated types. This avoids the problem but it will also
not detect some invalid recursive generic types anymore. That
requires a more sophisticated type flow analysis.
Opened #48962 to track.

Addressed with help from @findleyr.

For #48951.
