fixes#23730
Since #23188 the compiler errors when matching a type variable to an
uninstantiated static value. However sometimes an uninstantiated static
value is given even when only a type match is being performed to the
base type of the static type, in the given issue this case is:
```nim
proc foo[T: SomeInteger](x: T): int = int(x)
proc bar(x: static int): array[foo(x), int] = discard
discard bar(123)
```
To deal with this issue we only error when matching against a type
variable constrained to `static`.
Not sure if the `q.typ.kind == tyGenericParam and
q.typ.genericConstraint == tyStatic` check is necessary, the code above
for deciding whether the variable becomes `skConst` doesn't use it.

fixes#23568, fixes#23310
In #23091 `semFinishOperands` was changed to not be called for `mArrGet`
and `mArrPut`, presumably in preparation for #23188 (not sure why it was
needed in #23091, maybe they got mixed together), since the compiler
handles these later and needs the first argument to not be completely
"typed" since brackets can serve as explicit generic instantiations in
which case the first argument would have to be an unresolved generic
proc (not accepted by `finishOperand`).
In this PR we just make it so `mArrGet` and `mArrPut` specifically skip
calling `finishOperand` on the first argument. This way the generic
arguments in the explicit instantiation get typed, but not the
unresolved generic proc.

refs #23091, especially post merge comments
Unsure if `experimental` and `bind` are the perfect constructs to use
but they seem to get the job done here. Symbol nodes do not get marked
`nfOpenSym` if the `bind` statement is used for their symbol, and
`nfOpenSym` nodes do not get replaced by new local symbols if the
experimental switch is not enabled in the local context (meaning it also
works with `push experimental`). However this incurs a warning as the
fact that the node is marked `nfOpenSym` means we did not `bind` it, so
we might want to do that or turn on the experimental switch if we didn't
intend to bind it.
The experimental switch name is arbitrary and could be changed.

fixes#23186
As explained in #23186, generics can transform `genericProc[int]` into a
call `` `[]`(genericProc, int) `` which causes a problem when
`genericProc` is resemmed, since it is not a resolved generic proc. `[]`
needs unresolved generic procs since `mArrGet` also handles explicit
generic instantiations, so delay the resolved generic proc check to
`semFinishOperands` which is intentionally not called for `mArrGet`.
The root issue for
[t6137](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/devel/tests/generics/t6137.nim)
is also fixed (because this change breaks it otherwise), the compiler
doesn't consider the possibility that an assigned generic param can be
an unresolved static value (note the line `if t.kind == tyStatic: s.ast
= t.n` below the change in sigmatch), now it properly errors that it
couldn't instantiate it as it would for a type param. ~~The change in
semtypinst is just for symmetry with the code above it which also gives
a `cannot instantiate` error, it may or may not be necessary/correct.~~
Now removed, I don't think it was correct.
Still possible that this has unintended consequences.

fixes#22605, separated from #22744
This marks symbol captures in macro calls in generic contexts as
`nfOpenSym`, which means if there is a new symbol in the local
instantiatied body during instantiation time, this symbol replaces the
captured symbol. We have to be careful not to consider symbols outside
of the instantiation body during instantiation, because this will leak
symbols from the instantiation context scope rather than the original
declaration scope. This is done by checking if the local context owner
(maybe should be the symbol of the proc currently getting instantiated
instead? not sure how to get this) is the same as or a parent owner of
the owner of the replacement candidate symbol.
This solution is distinct from the symchoice mechanisms which we
originally assumed had to be related, if this assumption was wrong it
would explain why this solution took so long to arrive at.

Close#22826
I am not sure why this code skips generic insts, so letting CI tell me.
Update: It has told me nothing. Maybe someone knows during review.
Issue itself seems to be that the generic instance is skipped thus it
ends up being just `float` which makes it use the wrong generic instance
of the proc because it matches the one in cache

Close#21742
Checking if there's any side-effects and if just changing typeRel is
adequate for this issue before trying to look into related ones.
`skipBoth` is also not that great, it can lead to code that works
sometimes but fails when the proc is instantiated with branching
aliases. This is mostly an issue with error clarity though.

fixes#22639 for the third time
Nodes generated by `getType` for `tyGenericInst` types, instead of
having the original `tyGenericInst` type, will have the type of the last
child (due to the `mapTypeToAst` calls which set the type to the given
argument). This will cause subsequent `getType` calls to lose
information and think it's OK to use the sym of the instantiated type
rather than fully expand the generic instantiation.
To prevent this, update the type of the node from the `mapTypeToAst`
calls to the full generic instantiation type.

## Future work
We should turn all the error nodes into nodes of a nkError kind, which
could be a industrious task. But perhaps we can add a special treatment
for error nodes to make the transition smooth.

Close#17509
Current knowledge:
- delaying cache fixes the issue
- changing return of `if inst.len < key.len:` in `searchInstTypes` to
`continue` fixes the issue. With return the broken types are also cached
over and over
Related issues are completely unaffected as of now, so there must be
something deeper.
I am also still trying to find the true cause, so feel free to ignore
for now
