fixes#23326
In a routine declaration node in a template, if the routine is marked as
`gensym`, the compiler adds it as a new symbol to a preliminary scope of
the template. If it's not marked as gensym, then it searches the
preliminary scope of the template for the name of the routine, then when
it matches a template parameter or a gensym identifier, the compiler
replaces the name node with a symbol node of the found symbol.
This makes sense for the template parameter since it has to be replaced
later, but not really for the gensym identifier, as it doesn't allow us
to inject a routine with the same name as an identifier previously
declared as gensym (the problem in #23326 is when this is in another
`when` branch).
However this is the only channel to reuse a gensym symbol in a
declaration, so maybe removing it has side effects. For example if we
have:
```nim
proc foo(x: int) {.gensym.} = discard
proc foo(x: float) {.gensym.} = discard
```
it will not behave the same as
```nim
proc foo(x: int) {.gensym.} = discard
proc foo(x: float) = discard
```
behaved previously, which maybe allowed overloading over the gensym'd
symbols.
A note to the "undeclared identifier" error message has also been added
for a potential error code that implicitly depended on the old behavior
might give, namely ``undeclared identifier: 'abc`gensym123'``, which
happens when in a template an identifier is first declared gensym in
code that doesn't compile, then as a routine which injects by default,
then the identifier is used.

fixes#22775
It's pre-existing that [`prepareOperand` doesn't typecheck expressions
which have
types](a4f3bf3742/compiler/sigmatch.nim (L2444)).
Templates can take typed subscript expressions, transform them into
calls to `[]`, and then have this `[]` not be resolved later if the
expression is nested inside of a call argument, which leaks an untyped
expression past semantic analysis. To prevent this, don't transform any
typed subscript expressions into calls to `[]` in templates. Ditto for
curly subscripts (with `{}`) and assignments to subscripts and curly
subscripts (with `[]=` and `{}=`).

* pragma for sfCallsite instead of name check at every template definition
Not documented because it seems to be for internal use?
Should also make it possible to make comparisons and setops imports, but this doesn't have to be done.
I can reuse a name like `cursor` for the pragma as well, added a new name just to be safe.
* make sfCallsite recursive, add tests
* 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
