Agressively mark all LHS variables in assignments as used if there
is any error in the (entire) assignment. This reduces the number of
spurious "declared but not used" errors in programs that are invalid
in the first place. This behavior is closer to the behavior of the
compiler's original type checker (types1) and lets us remove lines
of the form "_ = variable" just to satisfy test cases. It also makes
more important errors visible by not crowding them out.
Remove the Checker.useLHS function and use Checker.use instead:
useLHS didn't evaluate top-level variables, but we actually want
them to be evaluated in an error scenario so that they are getting
used (and thus we don't get the "declared but not used" error).
Fixes#42937.

The test directory contains tests of the Go tool chain and runtime.
It includes black box tests, regression tests, and error output tests.
They are run as part of all.bash.
To run just these tests, execute:
../bin/go run run.go
To run just tests from specified files in this directory, execute:
../bin/go run run.go -- file1.go file2.go ...
Standard library tests should be written as regular Go tests in the appropriate package.
The tool chain and runtime also have regular Go tests in their packages.
The main reasons to add a new test to this directory are:
it is most naturally expressed using the test runner; or
it is also applicable to gccgo and other Go tool chains.
