ringabout d77f5bcd0f fixes #25803: add genCppConstructorExpr for full type-prefixed expression (#25817)
fixes #25803

This pull request introduces a new approach for generating C++
constructor expressions in the Nim compiler's C++ backend, ensuring that
type-prefixed construction is used when needed (such as in assignments),
rather than just braced initializer lists. It also adds a new test case
(with corresponding C++ header) to verify correct behavior when
assigning to types with overloaded assignment operators and
constructors.

**C++ code generation improvements:**

* Added `genCppConstructorExpr` in `ccgtypes.nim`, which generates a
full type-prefixed constructor expression (e.g., `Foo(a, b)`) for C++
code generation, as opposed to just a braced initializer list. This is
important for contexts like assignments where the type must be explicit.
* Updated `resetLoc` in `cgen.nim` to use `genCppConstructorExpr`
instead of `genCppInitializer` when initializing imported C++ types,
ensuring correct code generation for assignments.

**Testing:**

* Added a new C++ header file, `tcpp_default_ctor_assignment.h`,
defining a struct `AmbiguousAssign` with overloaded assignment operators
and constructors to test ambiguous assignment scenarios.
* Added a corresponding Nim test, `tcpp_default_ctor_assignment.nim`,
which exercises construction and assignment for the imported C++ type,
ensuring the new code generation logic works as intended.
