This patch to the Go frontend changes it to not cast an index expression
to int before checking whether the value is in bounds.  This fixes PR
61866: on a 32-bit system, casting an int64 index to int drops the upper
32 bits of the value, and thus can cause an out-of-range index to appear
to be in range.
        
This undoes part of change 1318:fa6e0c716dba
(https://codereview.appspot.com/104610044) and therefore breaks PR 61308
again.  I have a separate patch for that, coming soon
(http://codereview.appspot.com/122020043).  In addition to undoing part
of that change, this patch adds code to avoid a compiler crash.  This
changes PR 61308 from a compiler crash to an incorrect error message.

Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
Committed to mainline.
