cmd/compile/internal/types2: change inference error message

Changes the type inference error message so that the position is
proceeded by a space. cmd/go rewrites the output of gc to replace
absolute paths at the beginning of lines and those proceeded by a
space or a tab to relative paths.

Updates testdir to do the same post processing on the output
of tests as cmd/go.

Fixes #68292
