Improvements and bug fixes for global type parameters

1. allow spReflection_FindTypeByName to accept arbitrary type expression string
2. allow const int generic value to be used as expression value, and as array size
3. various bug fixes in witness table specialization / function cloning during specializeIRForEntryPoint to avoid creating duplicate global values, not copying the right definition of a function from the other module, not cloning witness tables that are required by specializeGenerics etc.
