cmd/stringer: accept simple type conversion expressions in constant ValueSpec

This permits constants of the form `const X = T(A)` to add `X` to the
stringer output for type `T`.

While those constants can be rewritten as `const X T = T(A)`, that
becomes tedious and visually noisy when `T` is a long name. It is quite
easy to address this easy and common case, while not attempting to solve
this with full generality.

Fixes #11581.
