all: use ":" for compiler generated symbols

As it can't appear in user package paths.

There is a hack for handling "go:buildid" and "type:*" on windows/386.

Previously, windows/386 requires underscore prefix on external symbols,
but that's only applied for SHOSTOBJ/SUNDEFEXT or cgo export symbols.
"go.buildid" is STEXT, "type.*" is STYPE, thus they are not prefixed
with underscore.

In external linking mode, the external linker can't resolve them as
external symbols. But we are lucky that they have "." in their name,
so the external linker see them as Forwarder RVA exports. See:

 - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/debug/pe-format#export-address-table
 - https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob;f=ld/pe-dll.c;h=e7b82ba6ffadf74dc1b9ee71dc13d48336941e51;hb=HEAD#l972)

This CL changes "." to ":" in symbols name, so theses symbols can not be
found by external linker anymore. So a hacky way is adding the
underscore prefix for these 2 symbols. I don't have enough knowledge to
verify whether adding the underscore for all STEXT/STYPE symbols are
fine, even if it could be, that would be done in future CL.

Fixes #37762
