fixes#25312
Tuple expressions `(a, b, c)` can be either types or values depending on
if their elements are typedescs or values, this is checked by checking
if the type of the element is `tyTypeDesc`. However when an
`skGenericParam` symbol is semchecked by `semSym` it is given its own
`tyGenericParam` type rather than a `tyTypeDesc` type, this seems to be
necessary for signatures to allow wildcard generic params passed to
static constrained generic params (tested in #25315). The reason
`semSym` is called is that `semGeneric` for generic invocations calls
`matches` which sems its arguments like normal expressions.
To deal with this, an expression of type `tyGenericParam` and with a
`skGenericParam` sym is allowed as a type in the tuple expression. A
problem is that this might consider a value with a wildcard generic
param type as a type. But this is a very niche problem, and I'm not sure
how to check for this. `skGenericParam` symbols stay as idents when
semchecked so it can't be checked that the node is an `skGenericParam`
symbol. It could be checked that it's an ident but I don't know how
robust this is. And maybe there is another way to refer to a wildcard
generic param type instead of just its symbol, i.e. another kind of
node.
This also makes #5647 finally work but a test case for that can be added
after.

It seems that the generic type is cached somehow so that no hooks are
instantiated for the generic type. There are only hooks for the
instantiated type. When `lambdalifting` tries to create type bounds for
the generic type, it cannot either find the instantiated hooks or
instantiate the generic hooks since it lacks `SemContext`. It can use
hooks for the instantiated type in this case

Returning or yielding from a closureiter must restore "external"
exception, but `popCurrentException` from `blockLeaveActions` was
getting in the way. So now `blockLeaveActions` doesn't emit
`popCurrentException` for returns in closureiters. I'm not a fan of this
"abstraction leakage", but don't see a better solution yet. Any input is
much appreciated.

The `warnUser` message kind is probably not the right one, but I left it
as a placeholder. It should probably at least warn if not just straight
up throw an error, was very hard to figure out what went wrong without
any indication. The hard coded 300 should possibly also be changed to
`evalTemplateLimit` or the VM call recursion limit or something.

```nim
proc setLengthSeqUninit(s: PGenericSeq, typ: PNimType, newLen: int, isTrivial: bool): PGenericSeq {.
compilerRtl.} =
```
In this added function, only the line `zeroMem(dataPointer(result,
elemAlign, elemSize, newLen), (result.len-%newLen) *% elemSize)` is
removed from `proc setLengthSeqV2` when enlarging a sequence.
JS and VM versions simply use `setLen`.

While `a.push.apply(a, b)` is better for performance than the previous
`a = a.concat(b)` due to the fact that it doesn't create a new array,
there is a pretty big problem with it: depending on the JS engine, if
the second array is too long, it can [cause a
crash](https://tanaikech.github.io/2020/04/20/limitation-of-array.prototype.push.apply-under-v8-for-google-apps-script/)
due to the function `push` taking too many arguments. This has
unfortunately been what the codegen produces since 1.4.0 (commit
707367e1ca).
So string addition is now moved to a compilerproc that just uses a `for`
loop. From what I can tell this is the most compatible and the fastest.
Only potential problem compared to `concat` etc is with aliasing, i.e.
adding an array to itself, but I'm guessing it's enough that the length
from before the iteration is used, since it can only grow. The test
checks for aliased nim strings but I don't know if there's an extra
protection for them.

It seems that `semOverloadedCall` evaluates the same node twice using
`tryConstExpr` in order for `efExplain` to print all the diagnostic
output. The problem is that `tryConstExpr` has side effects, i.e., it
changes the slot index of variables after VM execution.

There might be a way to do this but I couldn't find anything about it.
This is a very simple thing that goes a long way in certain situations.
Trying to avoid needing to switch to nimscript just to get:
```nim
# config.nims
import os
let srcDir = currentSourcePath.parentDir()
switch("define", &"ProjPath:\"{srcDir}\"")
```
with this change just needs:
```
# nim.cfg
d %= "ProjPath=$srcDir"
```

> To fix this, fields from inactive branches are now detected in
semmacrosanity.annotateType (called in fixupTypeAfterEval) and marked to
prevent the codegen of their assignments. In
https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/24441 these fields were excluded
from the resulting node, but this causes issues when the node is
directly supposed to go back into the VM, for example as const values. I
don't know if this is the only case where this happens, so I wasn't sure
about how to keep that implementation working.
Object variants fields coming from inactive branches from VM are now
flagged `nfPreventCg`. We can ignore them, as done by the C backends.

A `opcLdConst` is generated for `defaultConf` in `conf = defaultConf`.
According to the comment above, we need to handle the copy for
assignments of `opcLdConst`

```nim
proc canFormAcycleAux =
of tyObject:
# Inheritance can introduce cyclic types, however this is not relevant
# as the type that is passed to 'new' is statically known!
# er but we use it also for the write barrier ...
if tfFinal notin t.flags:
# damn inheritance may introduce cycles:
result = true
```
It seems that all objects without `tfFinal` in their flags are
registering cycles. It doesn't seem that `Env` can be a cyclic type
because of inheritance since it is not going to be inherited after all
by another `Env` object type

Arithmetic operations may raise exceptions. So we cannot entrust the
optimizer to skip `result` initialization in this situation, as
complained righteously by `gcc` and `clang`: `warning: ‘result’ may be
used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialize]`.
With this PR, `clang -c -Wuninitialized -O1 @psystem.nim.c` no longer
gives warnings
