Because of the efforts the Go frontend takes to avoid knock-on errors,
it was possible for some erroneous code to get through without an error
message.  Specifically, code like v().NonexistentFunction() would not
produce an error when v was not a function.  This patch fixes that
problem.  Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
Committed to mainline and 4.7 branch.
