This patch to the Go frontend determines that panic arguments are empty interfaces. After https://go.dev/cl//536643 passing NULL as the expected type permitted an untyped constant expression to remain untyped. This change will fix them to take on the empty interface type.
The panic and print/println functions are the only builtin functions that turn an untyped constant expression into a regular function call, and we already handled print/println specially. This fixes https://go.dev/issue/68734. The test case is https://go.dev/cl/603096. Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. Committed to mainline and GCC 14 branch. Ian
