nconvFmt calls base.Fatalf if mode is anything but FErr,
proving that the only formats that matter for nodes are
plain %v, %S, and %L. And the nodes formatter can only get to %v.
(%S and %v are the same; we'll clean that up separately.)
Node and Nodes can therefore ignore mode, and all the mode
code can be removed from those implementations, removing
quite a few layers of abstraction.
Op similarly only runs in one mode and can be simplified.
