Robert Findley e738a2f19b go/types, types2: always rename type parameters during inference
Type inference uses a trick of "renaming" type parameters in the type
parameter list to avoid cycles during unification. This separates the
identity of type parameters from type arguments. When this trick was
introduced in CL 385494, we restricted its application to scenarios
where inference is truly self-recursive: the type parameter list being
inferred was the same as the type parameter list of the outer function
declaration. Unfortunately, the heuristic used to determine
self-recursiveness was flawed: type-checking function literals clobbers
the type-checker environment, losing information about the outer
signature.

We could fix this by introducing yet more state into the type-checker
(e.g. a 'declSig' field that would hold the signature of the active
function declaration), but it is simpler to just avoid this optimization
and always perform type parameter renaming. We can always optimize
later.

This CL removes the check for true self-recursion, always performing the
renaming.

Fixes golang/go#57155
