[release-branch.go1.18] go/types: don't report errors for untyped int shifts on Go < 1.13

CL 337529 introduced upfront type-checking of constant shift operands,
to avoid converting their type to uint (per the spec). However, it
had an oversight in that the checks intended for non-constant operands
still ran after the explicit checking of constant operands. As a
result, there are at least two bugs:
 - When GoVersion is < 1.13, we report spurious errors for untyped
   constant shift operands.
 - When the operand is an untyped float constant, we still convert to
   uint (this was a known bug reported in #47410).

Looking at this now, it seems clear that we can avoid both of these bugs
by simply not running the additional checks in the case of a constant
operand. However, this should be considered with some care, as shifts
are notoriously tricky.

While cherry-picking, the new test file is updated to use the go1_12
package name, following our convention for specifying language version
in the release branch.

Fixes #52032
