[release-branch.go1.14] cmd/compile: fix constant conversion involving complex types

In CL 187657, I refactored constant conversion logic without realizing
that conversions between int/float and complex types are allowed for
constants (assuming the constant values are representable by the
destination type), but are never allowed for non-constant expressions.

This CL expands convertop to take an extra srcConstant parameter to
indicate whether the source expression is a constant; and if so, to
allow any numeric-to-numeric conversion. (Conversions of values that
cannot be represented in the destination type are rejected by
evconst.)

Fixes #38123.
For #38117.
