cmd/compile:  update the export version for generics

Bump the export version to a new value iexportVersionGo1_18 (2). This
will give a better error message when old compilers/tools encounter the
new export format (that includes parameterized types and functions).

We are also making a breaking change in the format:
 - a 'kind' byte is added to constant values

Also updated tinter() to pass the implicit bit through during type
substitution.

Tested that all tests still pass if the iexportVersionCurrent is changed
back to 1 in typecheck/iexport.go, iimporter/iimport.go, and
gcimporter/iimport.go

Updates #47654
