Shortening default(T) is the same problem as removing the redundant cast
around a lambda whose delegate type the context already fixes, so it uses
the same mechanism: ConvertTo makes the explicit type implicit when the
conversion is an identity conversion and the caller allows an implicit
one. The literal keeps the type it was shortened from, so any later
conversion to a different type - or any context that requires an explicit
type, such as an overload resolution recheck falling back to CastArguments
- can spell default(T) out again. That keeps the value intact where the
bare literal would change it, e.g. "object o = default(SomeStruct)", which
boxes a non-null struct while "default" would be null.
Because the shortened literal resolves to DefaultLiteralResolveResult,
CallBuilder's existing overload resolution recheck sees a real default
literal and rejects ambiguous calls on its own; no separate bookkeeping
about which arguments may stay untyped is needed. Only the contexts that
supply no target type at all restore the explicit form: an awaited
expression, and arguments of operator methods, which later become operator
or cast syntax rather than calls.

I think this isn't reliable enough yet to actually omit parameter types for lambdas (it only protects against switching to the wrong overload; not against type inference failures); so for now it's only used in the query expression transform.
A query source can be reached through an indexer as well as through a member
access or a call: `holder?[0].Where(...).Select(...)` puts an IndexerExpression
between the LINQ call and the `?.`. The receiver walk stopped there, so query
syntax was still introduced over a source the conditional access had lifted to
a nullable value type, and the output failed to compile with CS1936 - the same
way as the case that was reported, one node kind further along.
IndexerExpression.Target is nullable where MemberReferenceExpression's and
InvocationExpression's are not, so only that arm needs to match on the target.

Query syntax cannot preserve a null-conditional receiver that lifts a value type. Detect null conditionals through the LINQ receiver chain before introducing query syntax.

- Use custom test runner for correctness tests.
- Use .NET 6.0 framework for all Roslyn compiler tests.
- Disabled tests involving new string interpolation patterns.
Remove the committed .il files: these were originally intended to prevent test failures due to differences in the C# compiler on the system.
But legacy csc stopped changing long ago; and roslyn is tested via NuGet package, so everyone is using the same version.
Interestingly enough, avoiding the roundtrip through ildasm/ilasm caused some test failures due to changes in the order of top-level types.
So I've started sorting the types by name to ensure consistency in the tests. This required adjusting some existing tests.
