Fix crash when compiling specialized generic entrypoint containing a static const decl. (#8392)

Closes #8184.

We fixed three issues with this regression test:
1. After generating IR for a `SpecializeComponentType`, we should also
strip the frontend
decorations from the IR so there is no HighLevelDeclDecoration that will
go into the backend.
2. When lowering a static const inside a generic function, we should not
give the static const
a linkage, because it won't such constant will not appear in global
scope. Trying to give it a
linkage decoration will lead to the parent generic (for the function) to
have two duplicate
Export/Import decorations with different mangle names, and confuses the
linker.
3. Make sure internal exceptions does not leak through
    `IComponentType::getEntryPointCode`/`getTargetCode`.
