reflect: factor out special channel assignability rule from haveIdenticalUnderlyingType

Go specification says: A value x is assignable to a variable of type T if x
is a bidirectional channel value, T is a channel type, x's type V and T have
identical element types, and at least one of V or T is not a defined type.
However, the current reflection implementation is incorrect which makes
"x is assignable to T" even if type V and T are both defined type.

The current reflection implementation also mistakes the base types of two
non-defined pointer types share the same underlying type when the two
base types satisfy the above mentioned special channel assignability rule.

Fixes #29469
