[dev.typeparams] cmd/compile: rename types.Type.{Short,Long}String to {Link,Name}String
The original names "ShortString" and "LongString" refer back to the
fmt verbs used to request their formatting styles. However, I always
get confused working with them, in particular because (1) the
"ShortString" description, which uses package-path qualification, is
actually generally longer than the "LongString" description, which
uses package-name qualification; and (2) the documentation mentions
how they're often used, but doesn't actually describe why they're safe
for those purposes.
This CL renames them to "LinkString" and "NameString", respectively,
based on their primary use cases. It also attempts to more completely
describe the strings they return and how they can be used correctly.
