go/types, types2: handle named and literal interfaces in interface unification

If we don't have exact unification, we must consider interface
unification whether one of the types is a defined (named) interface
or not. Otherwise, if one of them is named, and the other one isn't,
the code selects interface-vs-non-interface unification and possibly
uses the wrong method set as the "required" method set, leading to
(incorrect) unification failure as was the case in #60564.

We can also not simply rely on getting this right in the subsequent
switch, through the handling of *Named types.

This CL fixes this simple logic error. If there's inexact unification,
now all (non-type parameter) interface cases are handled in one place,
before the switch. After handling interfaces, we are guaranteed that
we have either no interfaces, or we have exact unification where both
types must be of the same structure.

As a consequence, we don't need special handling for named interfaces
in the *Named case of the switch anymore.

Also, move the (unbound) type parameter swap from before interface
handling to after interface handling, just before the switch which
is the code that relies on a type parameter being in x, if any.

Fixes #60564.
