cmd/vet/lowerell, drive/driveimpl: forbid variables named "l" or "I"

Add a new vet checker that rejects variables, parameters, named
return values, receivers, range/type-switch bindings, type
parameters, struct fields, and constants named "l" (lowercase ell)
or "I" (uppercase i). Both are hard to distinguish from the digit
"1" and from each other in too many fonts.

Rename the two pre-existing struct fields named "l" (both of type
net.Listener) in drive/driveimpl/drive_test.go to "ln", matching the
convention used elsewhere for net.Listener locals.

Rename the test-fixture struct fields "I" (single int label) to
"Int" in metrics/multilabelmap_test.go and util/deephash/deephash_test.go,
preserving the "first letters of types" convention used alongside
neighboring fields like I8/I16/U/U8.

Also teach pkgdoc_test.go to skip testdata/ directories, which
the go tool ignores; they are not real packages.

Fixes #19631
