Rather than relying on coreString, use the new commonUnder function
to determine the argument slice element types.
Factor out this functionality, which is shared for append and copy,
into a new helper function sliceElem (similar to chanElem).
Use sliceElem for both the append and copy implementation.
As a result, the error messages for invalid copy calls are
now more detailed.
While at it, handle the special cases for append and copy first
because they don't need the slice element computation.
Finally, share the same type recording code for the special and
general cases.
As an aside, in commonUnder, be clearer in the code that the
result is either a nil type and an error, or a non-nil type
and a nil error. This matches in style what we do in sliceElem.

The test directory contains tests of the Go tool chain and runtime.
It includes black box tests, regression tests, and error output tests.
They are run as part of all.bash.
To run just these tests, execute:
../bin/go test cmd/internal/testdir
To run just tests from specified files in this directory, execute:
../bin/go test cmd/internal/testdir -run='Test/(file1.go|file2.go|...)'
Standard library tests should be written as regular Go tests in the appropriate package.
The tool chain and runtime also have regular Go tests in their packages.
The main reasons to add a new test to this directory are:
it is most naturally expressed using the test runner; or
it is also applicable to gccgo and other Go tool chains.
