compiler: correctly generate code for local named types

It is possible to create function-local named types:

    func foo() any {
        type named int
        return named(0)
    }

This patch makes sure they don't alias with named types declared at the
package scope.

Bug originally found by Damian Gryski while working on reflect support.
