go_spec: use PrimaryExpr as type switch expression
Without this change, the spec parses <-c.(type) as (<-c).(type) but parses <-c.(int) as <-(c.(int)). With this change, the former parses as <-(c.(type)). All three parsers already implement this rule, because they look for the "type" word during parsing of a standard type assertion. This change merely brings the spec in line with the implementations. http://code.google.com/p/go/source/browse/src/cmd/gc/go.y#801 http://code.google.com/p/go/source/browse/src/pkg/go/parser/parser.go#900 http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/branches/gccgo/gcc/go/parse.cc?revision=155389&view=markup#l2469 Pointed out by Brett Kail on golang-nuts.
