last-exclusive progressions (i.e., "until" progressions and loop over
array indices).
This change makes it possible to correctly implement the handling of
"step" progressions. Computing the last element of a stepped progression
requires that the last is inclusive.
Also invert the while loop (into if + do-while) that is used when
lowering for-loops over progressions that cannot overflow. This keeps
the performance characteristics closer to the ForLoopsLowering in
kotlin-native, since the goal is to converge to this shared version.
Also used IrType instead of KotlinType, where possible.

do-while with enclosing "not empty" check).
Also do not add additional "not empty" condition for `until` loops when
the given bound is a constant != MIN_VALUE.
If the loop end value is a compile-time constant (best we can do now),
and it is safe to iterate over a given range using "naive" for loop
(using '<=' or '>=' in loop condition),
generate such loops for Longs and Chars as well Ints (Bytes, Shorts).
