fixes#25796
This pull request addresses a subtle type-matching issue in the Nim
compiler related to backend type compatibility, particularly for
procedures returning `lent` types. It also adds new test cases to ensure
correct handling of these scenarios.
**Compiler type-checking fix:**
* Updated `procParamTypeRel` in `compiler/sigmatch.nim` to skip wrappers
like `tyVar`, `tyLent`, `tySink`, and `tyOwned` before comparing backend
types, ensuring more accurate type equivalence checks for procedure
parameters and return types.
**Test coverage improvements:**
* Added multiple blocks in `tests/proc/tproc.nim` to test procedure
types returning `lent` objects, including cases with constants,
variables, and union parameter types, verifying that the compiler now
correctly handles these cases.

Each test must have a filename of the form: t*.nim
Note:Testament is only aware of tests under a directory (eg tests/foo/) and will ignore
top-level tests like tests/tbar.nim.
Specs
Each test can contain a spec in a discard """ ... """ block.
Check out the parseSpec procedure in the specs module for a full and reliable reference
action
Specifies what action this test should take.
Default: run
Options:
compile - compiles the module and fails the test if compilations fails.
run - compiles and runs the module, fails the test if compilation or
execution of test code fails.
reject - compiles the module and fails the test if compilation succeeds.
There are certain spec keys that imply run, including output and
outputsub.
Categories
Each folder under this directory represents a test category, which can be
tested by running koch tests pcat <category> (or cat to avoid parallel
testing, which is slower).
The folder dll contains simple DLL tests.
The folder realtimeGC contains a test for validating that the realtime GC
can run properly without linking against the nimrtl.dll/so.
