close #6286.
This PR is to improve the diagnostics for no_diff usage.
In a differentiable function, any calls to a non-diff function with constant arguments should not require no_diff attribute.
This PR adds this extra check at `checkAutoDiffUsages` where it checks the differentiability on IR.
In a differentiable method, we will force to use `[NoDiffThis]` attribute if there is access to non-differentiable `This` type. Once this access is detected we will report a warning to bring users attention that this access won't generate any derivative, they have to use `[NoDiffThis]` to suppress that warning.
This PR adds this check at type checking stage, because it's the easiest way to find out all the `This` accesses.
