cmd/compile: simplify value coding for unified IR

In indexed export, values are always exported along with their type
and are encoded in a type-sensitive manner, because this matches how
cmd/compile handled constants internally.

However, go/types intentionally differs from this, decoupling type
from value representation. As unified IR strives to be more
go/types-centric, it makes sense to embrace this and make values a
more first-class encoding.
