follows up #24871
For subscript assignments, if an overload of `[]=`/`{}=` is not found,
the LHS checks for overloads of `[]`/`{}` as a fallback, similar to what
field setters do since #24871. This is accomplished by just compiling
the LHS if the assignment overloads fail. This has the side effect that
the error messages are different now, instead of displaying the
overloads of `[]=`/`{}=` that did not match, it will display the ones
for `[]`/`{}` instead. This could be fixed by checking for `efLValue`
when giving the error messages for `[]`/`{}` but this is not done here.
The code for `[]` subscripts is a little different because of the
`mArrGet`/`mArrPut` overloads that always match. If the `mArrPut`
overload matches without a builtin subscript behavior for the LHS then
it calls `semAsgn` again with `mode = noOverloadedSubscript`. Before
this meant "fail to compile" but now it means "try to compile the LHS as
normal", in both cases the overloads of `[]=` are not considered again.

Collects `{.global.}` (i.e. if it was changed into a hook call: `=copy`,
`=sink`) in `injectDestructorCalls` and generates it in the init
sections in cgen
fixes#24947
When injectdestructors detects that a variable is a tuple unpacking temp
(i.e. it is an `skTemp`, is not a cursor, and has tuple type) it does
not generate a destructor for it and only generates sink/bit assignments
for its components. However the reason it does not generate a destructor
is that it expects it to be fully unpacked, this is true for unpackings
in for loops but not for tuple unpacking assignments which supports `_`
since #22537. Tuple unpacking definitions for `var`/`let`/`const` do not
generate `skTemp` and use the same symbol kind as the definition so they
did not have this problem.
To keep this compatible, the `_` parts of the tuple unpacking
assignments are now not ignored and unpacked into `let _ = ...`, which
generates its own destructor. Another option might be to use `skLet`
instead of `skTemp` but this might cause changes to behavior like
additional copies, I am not sure about this though.

A type is only overwritten if it is definitely a forward type, partial
object (symbol marked `sfForward`) or a magic type. Maybe worse for
performance but should be more correct. Another option might be to
provide a different value for `prev` for the `preserveSym` case but then
we cannot easily ignore only nominal type nodes.

`isTupleRecursive`, previously only called to give an error for illegal
recursions for:
* tuple fields
* types declared in type sections
* explicitly instantiated generic types
did not check for recursions in proc types. It now does, meaning proc
types now need a nominal type layer to recurse over themselves. It is
renamed to `isRecursiveStructuralType` to better reflect what it does,
it is different from a recursive type that cannot exist due to a lack of
pointer indirection which is possible for nominal types.
It is now also called to check the param/return types of procs, similar
to how tuple field types are checked. Pointer indirection checks are not
needed since procs are pointers.
I wondered if this would lead to a slowdown in the compiler but since it
only skips structural types it shouldn't take too many iterations, not
to mention only proc types are newly considered and aren't that common.
But maybe something in the implementation could be inefficient, like the
cycle detector using an IntSet.
Note: The name `isRecursiveStructuralType` is not exactly correct
because it still checks for `distinct` types. If it didn't, then the
compiler would accept this:
```nim
type
A = distinct B
B = ref A
```
But this breaks when attempting to write `var x: A`. However this is not
the case for:
```nim
type
A = object
x: B
B = ref A
```
So a better description would be "types that are structural on the
backend".
A future step to deal with #14015 and #23224 might be to check the
arguments of `tyGenericInst` as well but I don't know if this makes
perfect sense.
fixes#24887 (really just this [1 line
commit](632c7b3397)
would have been enough to fix the issue but it would ignore the general
problem)
When a type definition is encountered where the symbol already has a
type (not a forward type), the type is left alone (not reset to
`tyForward`) and the RHS is handled differently: The RHS is still
semchecked, but the type of the symbol is not updated, and nominal type
nodes are ignored entirely (specifically if they are the same kind as
the symbol's existing type but this restriction is not really needed).
If the existing type of the symbol is an enum and and the RHS has a
nominal enum type node, the enum fields of the existing type are added
to scope rather than creating a new type from the RHS and adding its
symbols instead.
The goal is to prevent any incompatible nominal types from being
generated during resem as in #24887. But it also restricts what macros
can do if they generate type section AST, for example if we have:
```nim
type Foo = int
```
and a macro modifies the type section while keeping the symbol node for
`Foo` like:
```nim
type Foo = float
```
Then the type of `Foo` will still remain `int`, while it previously
became `float`. While we could maybe allow this and make it so only
nominal types cannot be changed, it gets even more complex when
considering generic params and whether or not they get updated. So to
keep it as simple as possible the rule is that the symbol type does not
change, but maybe this behavior was useful for macros.
Only nominal type nodes are ignored for semchecking on the RHS, so that
cases like this do not cause a regression:
```nim
template foo(): untyped =
proc bar() {.inject.} = discard
int
type Foo = foo()
bar() # normally works
```
However this specific code exposed a problem with forward type handling:
---
In specific cases, when the type section is undergoing the final pass,
if the type fits some overly general criteria (it is not an object,
enum, alias or a sink type and its node is not a nominal type node), the
entire RHS is semchecked for a 2nd time as a standalone type (with `nil`
prev) and *maybe* reassigned to the new semchecked type, depending on
its type kind. (for some reason including nominal types when we excluded
them before?) This causes a redefinition error if the RHS defines a
symbol.
This code goes all the way back to the first commit and I could not find
the reason why it was there, but removing it showed a failure in
`thard_tyforward`: If a generic forward type is invoked, it is left as
an unresolved `tyGenericInvocation` on the first run. Semchecking it
again at the end turns it into a `tyGenericInst`. So my understanding is
that it exists to handle these loose forward types, but it is way too
general and there is a similar mechanism `c.skipTypes` which is supposed
to do the same thing but doesn't.
So this is no longer done, and `c.skipTypes` is revamped (and renamed):
It is now a list of types and the nodes that are supposed to evaluate to
them, such that types needing to be updated later due to containing
forward types are added to it along with their nodes. When finishing the
type section, these types are reassigned to the semchecked value of
their nodes so that the forward types in them are fully resolved. The
"reassigning" here works due to updating the data inside the type
pointer directly, and is how forward types work by themselves normally
(`tyForward` types are modified in place as `s.typ`).
For example, as mentioned before, generic invocations of forward types
are first created as `tyGenericInvocation` and need to become
`tyGenericInst` later. So they are now added to this list along with
their node. Object types with forward types as their base types also
need to be updated later to check that the base type is correct/inherit
fields from it: For this the entire object type and its node are added
to the list. Similarly, any case where whether a component type is
`tyGenericInst` or `tyGenericInvocation` matters also needs to cascade
this (`set` does presumably to check the instantiated type).
This is not complete: Generic invocations with forward types only check
that their base type is a forward type, but not any of their arguments,
which causes #16754 and #24133. The generated invocations also need to
cascade properly: `Foo[Bar[ForwardType]]` for example would see that
`Bar[ForwardType]` is a generic invocation and stay as a generic
invocation itself, but it might not queue itself to be updated later.
Even if it did, only the entire type `Foo[Bar[ForwardType]]` needs to be
queued, updating `Bar[ForwardType]` by itself would be redundant or it
would not change anything at all. But these can be done later.

Before #24855, the test would work because the indentation of the `;`
token would be passed to `semiStmtList` and so its indentation of `-1`
would be used. Now the `;` token is skipped and the indentation of the
first `discard` is used which is > -1. However the second discard has an
indentation of -1 because it's on the same line: this fails the
`sameInd(p) or realInd(p)` check since -1 is never >= the indent of the
first discard.
For compatibility with the parser up to this point this indent check is
entirely removed, meaning the indent is ignored. Because the `;` is
basically never on a separate line, this was already the case for
basically every use. `semiStmtList` is wrapped in a `withInd` anyway
which resets the indent after it's done, since the entire statement list
is wrapped in a `()`. To disallow dedents, the above check could be
fixed to use `sameOrNoInd` instead of `sameInd`, which is done in the
commented version of this check.

Working off the minimized example, my understanding of the issue is: `n`
captures `r` as `:envP.r1` where `:envP` is the environment of `b`, then
`proc () = n()` does the lambda lifting of `n` again (which isn't done
if the `proc ()` is marked `{.closure.}`, hence the workaround) which
then captures the `:envP` as another field inside the `:envP`, so it
generates `:envP.:envP_2.r1` but the `.:envP_2` field is `nil`, so it
causes a segfault.
The problem is that the capture of `r` in `n` is done inside
`detectCapturedVars` for the surrounding closure iterator: inner procs
are not special cased and traversed as regular nodes, so it thinks it's
inside the iterator and generates a field access of `:envP` freely. The
lambda lifting version of `detectCapturedVars` ignores inner procs and
works off of symbol uses (anonymous iterator and lambda declarations
pretend their symbol is used).
As a naive solution, closure iterators now also ignore inner proc
declarations same as `lambdalifting.detectCapturedVars`, but unlike it
they also don't do anything for the inner proc symbols. Lambdalifting
seems to properly handle the lifted variables but in the worst case we
can also make sure `closureiters.detectCapturedVars` traverses inner
procs by marking every local of the closure iter used in them as needing
lifting (but not doing the lifting). This does not seem necessary for
now so it's not done (was done and reverted in [this
commit](9bb39a9259)),
but regressions are still possible

The code was already there that when `propertyWriteAccess` returns `nil`
(i.e. cannot find a setter), `semAsgn` turns the [LHS into a call and
semchecks
it](1ef9a656d2/compiler/semexprs.nim (L1941-L1948)),
meaning if a setter cannot be found a getter will be assigned to
instead. However `propertyWriteAccess` never returned nil, because
`semOverloadedCallAnalyseEffects` was not called with `efNoUndeclared`
and so produced an error directly. So `efNoUndeclared` is passed to this
call so this code works as intended.
This fixes the issue described in #4711 which was closed because
subscripts do not have the same behavior implemented. However we can
implement this for subscripts as well (I have an implementation ready),
it just changes the error message from the failed overloads of `[]=` to
the failed overloads of `[]` for the LHS, which might be misleading but
is consistent with the error messages for any other assignment. I can do
this in this PR or another one.

Instead of matching generic converters to their arguments using the full
call match bindings, a new match is created for them (from which the
bindings are used to instantiate the converter return type). Then when
instantiating generic converters, they are matched to their argument
again to get their bindings again instead of using the call bindings.
This prevents generic converters which match more than once from
interfering with each other's bindings.

When an array, set or tuple constructor has an element that resolves to
`tyFromExpr`, the type of the entire literal is now set to `tyFromExpr`
and the subsequent elements are not matched to any type.
The remaining expressions are still typed (a version of the PR before
this called `semGenericStmt` on them instead), however elements with int
literal types have their types set to `nil`, since generic instantiation
removes int literal types and the int literal type is required for
implicitly converting the int literal element to the set type. Tuples
should not really need this but it is done for them anyway in case it
messes up some type inference

Combining two small PRs in one here. The test case explains what was
wrong with the concepts and for naitivesockets, it's typical to adjust
`ai_flags` so I opened that up.
Previously it would try to parse the semicolon as its own statement and
produce an `nkEmpty` node
Also more than 1 semicolon in an expression list i.e. `(a;; b)` gives an
"expression expected" error in `semiStmtList` when multiple semicolons
are allowed in normal statements, this could be fixed by changing the
`if tok.kind == tokSemicolon` check to a `while` but it does not match
the grammar so not done here.

Object constructors call `fillObjectFields` when a field inside the
constructor does not have a location, however when the field is from a
base type this does not process it. Now `fillObjectFields` also calls
itself for the base type to fix this but not sure if this is a good
solution as `fillObjectFields` is used in other places too.

It inserts defect handing into a bare except branch
```nim
try:
raiseAssert "test"
except:
echo "nope"
```
=>
```nim
try:
raiseAssert "test"
except:
# New behaviov, now well-defined: **never** catches the assert, regardless of panic mode
raiseDefect()
echo "nope"
```
In this way, `except` still catches foreign exceptions, but panics on
`Defect`. Probably when Nim has `except {.foreign.}`, we can extend
`raiseDefect` to foreign exceptions as well. That's supposed to be a
small use case anyway.
`--legacy:noPanicOnExcept` is provided for a transition period.

Because distinct `seq` types match `proc `=destroy`*[T](x: var T)
{.inline, magic: "Destroy".}`. But the Nim compiler generates lifted seq
types for corresponding distinct types. So we skip the address for
distinct types.
Related to https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/22207 I had a hard time
finding the other place where generic destructors get replaced by
attachedDestructors
```nim
proc foo =
var x = "1234"
var y = x
when nimvm:
discard
else:
var s = x
doAssert s == "1234"
doAssert y == "1234"
static: foo()
foo()
```
`dfa` chooses the `nimvm` branch, `x` is misread as a last read and
`wasMoved`.
`injectDestructor` is used for codegen and is not used for vmgen. It's
reasonable to choose the codegen path instead of the `nimvm` path so the
code works for codegen. Though the problem is often hidden by
`cursorinference` or `optimizer`.
