go/parser, go/types, syntax, types2: report invalid uses of ... by parsers

Check correct use of ...'s in parameter lists in parsers.
This allows the type checkers to assume correct ASTs with
respect to ... use.

Adjust some error messages: if a ... is used in a result
parameter list, the error is now more accurate.

Eliminate a now unused error code.
