metagn 2b1885a0fa remove structural equality check for objects and distinct types (#24448)
follows up #24425, fixes #18861, fixes #22445

Since #24425 generic object and distinct types now accurately link back
to their generic instantiations. To work around this issue previously,
type matching checked if generic objects/distinct types were
*structurally* equal, which caused false positives with types that
didn't use generic parameters in their structures. This structural check
is now removed, in cases where generic objects/distinct types require a
nontrivial equality check, the generic parameters of the `typeInst`
fields are checked for equality instead.

The check is copied from `tyGenericInst`, but the check in
`tyGenericInst` is not always sufficient as this type can be skipped or
unreachable in the case of `ref object`s.

  • Note that this code has been translated from a bootstrapping version written in Pascal.
  • So the code is not a poster child of good Nim code.
