go/parser: parse an ast.IndexExpr for a[]

To be consistent with Go 1.16, and to preserve as much information in
the AST as possible, parse an ast.IndexExpr with BadExpr Index for the
invalid expression a[].

A go/types test had to be adjusted to account for an additional error
resulting from this change.

We don't have a lot of test coverage for parser error recovery, so
rather than write an ad-hoc test for this issue, add a new go/types test
that checks that the indexed operand is used.

Updates #46403
