This makes it more consistent and fixes some
overlooked corner cases. Also it was decided
on the last equality applicability DM
(KT-62646) that we'd like
`is`/`!is`/`as`/`as?` to work similarly
to `===`/`!==`.
Also note that it now gives a clearer
explaination of why some corner cases work
the way they do. For example,
`FirPsiDiagnosticTestGenerated.testLambdaInLhsOfTypeOperatorCall`
yields `UNCHECKED_CAST` instead of
`CAST_NEVER_SUCCEEDS`, because
`toTypeInfo()` replaces all type arguments
with star projections, even when the argument
is not a type parameter. This is because
it has been desided to work this way in
KT-57779.
In
`FirPsiOldFrontendDiagnosticsTestGenerated..NeverSucceeds#testNoGenericsRelated`
the diagnostic is introduced, because
`t2 as FC1` and `FC1` is a final class with
no `T5` supertype.
`UNCHECKED_CAST` in
`FirPsiOldFrontendDiagnosticsTestGenerated.testSmartCast`
disappeared, because previously we didn't
take smartcasts into account.
Note that
`FirPsiOldFrontendDiagnosticsTestGenerated.testMappedSubtypes`
is a false positive. It appears because `isSubtypeOf()` doesn't
take into account platform types in supertypes of the given types
(doesn't map them).
In theory, forking persistent flows should be cheap because of object
reuse, so the proposal here is to start from scratch and prove
redundancy of forks on a case-by-case basis. Something something better
safe than sorry.

In order to make resolution still work for members not available from
`Nothing`, we track the type without `Nothing?` and use that for
resolution instead.
To do so, inside the root cause of inapplicable candidate errors,
we will record expected/actual type of receiver, if any.
That will help identifying inapplicable calls on nullable receiver.
