generate tyFromExpr for when in generics (#24066)

fixes #22342, fixes #22607

Another followup of #22029, `when` expressions in general in generic
type bodies now behave like `nkRecWhen` does since #24042, leaving them
as `tyFromExpr` if a condition is uncertain. The tests for the issues
were originally added but left disabled in #24005.
