spec: clarify type elision rules for composite literals

- organize examples better
- add an example illustrating behavior if element type is a named pointer type
- both compilers and go/types (per https://go-review.googlesource.com/33358)
  follow this now

See the issue for detailed discussion.

Fixes #17954.

Unlike regular variable declarations, a short variable declaration may <i>redeclare</i>
variables provided they were originally declared earlier in the same block
(or the parameter lists if the block is the function body) with the same type,
(or the parameter lists if the block is the function body) with the same type,
and at least one of the non-<a href="#Blank_identifier">blank</a> variables is new.
As a consequence, redeclaration can only appear in a multi-variable short declaration.
Redeclaration does not introduce a new variable; it just assigns a new value to the original.
