This adds the type inference to Union types and add a small test case
for it, ensuring it keeps working in future.

'Unknown' int/float types actually never exist as such, they get replaced by
type variables immediately. So the whole `Uncertain<IntTy>` thing was
unnecessary and just led to a bunch of match branches that were never hit.
Divergence here means that for some reason, the end of a block will not be
reached. We tried to model this just using the never type, but that doesn't work
fully (e.g. in `let x = { loop {}; "foo" };` x should still have type `&str`);
so this introduces a `diverges` flag that the type checker keeps track of, like
rustc does.
It improves compile time in `--release` mode quite a bit, it doesn't
really slow things down and, conceptually, it seems closer to what we
want the physical architecture to look like (we don't want to
monomorphise EVERYTHING in a single leaf crate).
E.g. for `&{ some_string() }` in a context where a `&str` is expected, we
reported a mismatch inside the block. The problem is that we're passing an
expectation of `str` down, but the expectation is more of a hint in this case.
There's a long comment in rustc about this, which I just copied.
Also, fix reported location for type mismatches in macros.

see also #2534
Seem like this can't fix#2534 for this case:
```rust
fn foo3(bar: [usize; 2]) {
let baz = bar[1]; // <--- baz is still unknown ?
println!("{}", baz);
}
```
