This is a follow-up of #1017, generalizing the use of reflect.Set
method to set, and possibly overwrite, the concrete value of
interface objects all accross the implementation of operators.
Previous optimized implementation for non-interface objects is
preserved.
The empty interface (interface{}), and its variants (such as []interface{} and map[string]interface{}), are commonly used in Go to (json) Unmarshal arbitrary data. Within Yaegi, all interface types are wrapped in a valueInterface struct in order to retain all the information needed for a consistent internal state (as reflect is not enough to achieve that). However, this wrapping ends up being problematic when it comes to the type assertions related to the aforementioned Unmarshaling.
Therefore, this PR is an attempt to consider the empty interface (and its variants) as an exception within Yaegi, that should never be wrapped within a valueInterface, and to treat it similarly to the other basic Go types. The assumption is that the wrapping should not be needed, as there is no information about implemented methods to maintain.

Always attempt to obtain an integer constant value for operators
expecting so. It allows to use '/' in integer constant defintions,
instead of default big.Rat.
Fixes#1005
In unary constant operations, the test for unsigned was defeated by
testing for int first, which is true also for unsigned. Make sure that
testing for unsigned precedes testing for int.
Fixes#907.
When working with an untyped const expression involving a division, if
the default type of the result should be an int (for example because the
default types of all the operands are ints as well), then we should make
sure that the operation that is applied is indeed an integer division,
and that the type of the result is not a float.
This is achieved by using the QUO_ASSIGN operator, instead of the QUO
operator.
This should fix several problems lurking around, and it notably fixes
one of the visible consequences, which is a systematic panic when using
the REPL as a "calculator".
This incidentally also allows us to revert what was done in
5dfc3b86dc since it now turns out it was
just a hack to fix one of the symptoms.
Fixes#864
