This is in reference to a [feature
request](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/22142) that I posted.
I'm making this PR to demonstrate the suggested change and expect that
this should be scrutinized

The goal of this PR is to make `typeRel` accurate to it's definition for
generics:
```
# 3) When used with two type classes, it will check whether the types
# matching the first type class (aOrig) are a strict subset of the types matching
# the other (f). This allows us to compare the signatures of generic procs in
# order to give preferrence to the most specific one:
```
I don't want this PR to break any code, and I want to preserve all of
Nims current behaviors. I think that making this more accurate will help
serve as ground work for the future. It may not be possible to not break
anything but this is my attempt.
So that it is understood, this code was part of another PR (#22143) but
that problem statement only needed this change by extension. It's more
organized to split two problems into two PRs and this issue, being
non-breaking, should be a more immediate improvement.

* deprecate unsafeAddr; extend addr
addr is now available for all addressable locations, unsafeAddr is deprecated and become an alias for addr
* follow @Vindaar's advice

* unsafeAddr => addr (stdlib)
* Update changelog.md
* unsafeAddr => addr (tests)
* Revert "unsafeAddr => addr (stdlib)"

* silence error output from template_various.nim
* any => auto in tests
* avoid showing failed for parseSpec since this is expected behavior in 2 cases: tincludefile.nim, tnav1.nim
* enforce InheritFromException
* fixup
This enables macros accepting arbitrary keyword arguments:
log("foo", prop1 = "bar", prop2 = "baz")
As an added bonus, simple templates with varargs arguments can now
forward their params to procs accepting keyword arguments.
