Diagnose use of an implicit cast as an argument for an `out` parameter (#516)
Work on #499
Two big fixes here:
* The logic for checking constraints on `out` arguments wasn't actually triggering because it relied on function parameters being given an `OutType` if they are marked `out`, but the code wasn't actually doing that. Fixing the computation of types for functions resolved that issue.
* Next, I added a specific diagnostic to follow up the "expected an l-value" error to let the user know that their argument was implicitly converted, and that is why it doesn't count as an l-value in Slang's rules.
I've added a test case to ensure that we retain this diagnostic until we can do a true fix for the issue.
The right long-term fix is to have an AST representation of all the implicit casts involved (e.g., in both directions for an `inout` parameter), and then have the IR generate explicit code for the conversions in each direction (the `LoweredVal` representation can handle this sort of thing).
