fixes #23898

Will explain later, CI is clogged right now and I need to wait to see if it works separated from #23966

Never mind, it should merge with #23966 and semtempl should generate a symchoice when the type symbol is ambiguous, maybe same for skVar, skLet, skConst

…le types in symchoices (#23997)

fixes #23898, supersedes #23966 and #23990

Since #20631 ambiguous type symbols in templates are rejected outright,
now we generate a symchoice for type nodes if they're ambiguous, a
generalization of what was done in #22375. This is done for generics as
well. Symchoices also handle type symbols better now, ensuring their
type is a `typedesc` type; this probably isn't necessary for everything
to work but it makes the logic more robust.

Similar to #23989, we have to prepare for the fact that ambiguous type
symbols behave differently than normal type symbols and either error
normally or relegate to other routine symbols if the symbol is being
called. Generating a symchoice emulates this behavior, `semExpr` will
find the type symbol first, but since the symchoice has other symbols,
it will count as an ambiguous type symbol.

I know it seems spammy to carry around an ambiguity flag everywhere, but
in the future when we have something like #23104 we could just always
generate a symchoice, and the symchoice itself would carry the info of
whether the first symbol was ambiguous. But this could harm compiler
performance/memory use, it might be better to generate it only when we
have to, which in the case of type symbols is only when they're
ambiguous.
