go/types: use error_.errorf for reporting related error information

Use error_.errorf for reporting related error information rather than
inlining the "\n\t". This aligns go/types with types2 in cases where the
related information has no position information. In other cases,
go/types needs to report a "continuation error" (starting with '\t') so
that users can access multiple error positions.
