[dev.typeparams] cmd/compile: add and use ir.RawOrigExpr

This CL adds ir.RawOrigExpr, which can be used to represent arbitrary
constant expressions without needing to build and carry around an
entire IR representation of the original expression. It also allows
distinguishing how the constant was originally written by the
user (e.g., "0xff" vs "255").

This CL then also updates irgen to make use of this functionality for
expressions that were constant folded by types2.
