This change establishes the invariant that Underlying() cannot observe
a nil RHS for a defined type, unless that type was created by go/types
with an explicitly nil underlying type.
It does so using isComplete, which is a guard to check that a type has
an underlying type. This guard is needed whenever we could produce a
value of a defined type or access some property of a defined type.
Examples include T{}, *x (where x has type *T), T.x, etc. (see CL
734600 for more).
The pendingType mechanism to deeply traverse values of a defined type
is moved to hasVarSize, since this is only truly needed at the site
of a built-in such as unsafe.Sizeof.
This ties cycle detection across value context directly to the syntax,
which seems like the right direction.
