Fixed generic distinct conversions for 'var' (#18837)

* SameTypeAux now properly traverses generic distincts * Smarter traversal of distincts * Removed redundant check * Fixed nkConv for jsgen * Added test for non distinct nkConv * using skiptypes for distinct now * Fixed genaddr for nkconv (cherry picked from commit 83a2515af7)
