cmd/cgo: Wrong types in compiler errors with clang 14

[dmgk]

When compiling this code on FreeBSD 14-CURRENT with clang 14, go emits error messages with invalid types:

package main

import "C"

func main() {
        var _ C.ulong = "ul"
        var _ C.ulonglong = "ull"
}

$ go build example.go
# command-line-arguments
./example.go:6:18: cannot use "ul" (untyped string constant) as _Ctype_unsignedlong value in variable declaration
./example.go:7:22: cannot use "ull" (untyped string constant) as _Ctype_unsignedlonglong value in variable declaration

cgo tests also currently are failing:
