[release-branch.go1.20] cmd/compile: re-compile instantiated generic methods in linkshared mode

For G[T] that was seen and compiled in imported package, it is not added
to typecheck.Target.Decls, prevent wasting compile time re-creating
DUPOKS symbols. However, the linker do not support a type symbol
referencing a method symbol across DSO boundary. That causes unreachable
sym error when building under -linkshared mode.

To fix it, always re-compile generic methods in linkshared mode.

Fixes #59236
