go/parser: make sure we have a valid AST when 'if' condition is missing

This prevents a crash in go/types due to a nil condition in an 'if'
statement. There's more we can do to make go/types more robust but
this will address the immediate cause and also makes sure that the
parser returns a valid AST in this case.

Fixes #25438.
