cmd/compile: emit types of constants which are instantiated generic types

Normally types of constants are emitted when the type is defined (an
ODCLTYPE). However, the types of constants where the type is an
instantiated generic type made inside the constant declaration, do not
normally get emitted. But the DWARF processor in the linker wants
to see those types. So we emit them during stenciling.

Fixes #51245
