Invariants that involve types (stack type of a variable against its IType,
the element type of an array access, the operand types of a comparison)
need a type system to resolve them against, and the only correct one is the
type system the instruction tree was decoded with. Until now CheckInvariant
took only the phase, so such a check had no compilation to use:
DeconstructInstruction.CheckInvariant called IsAssignment with a null type
system, which only held up because the targets it sees are ldloc, whose
InferType never touches the compilation; a ldflda-wrapped or pointer target
would have failed inside the invariant instead of reporting a violation.
Every call site already has that type system in scope: the ILReader's
compilation, the ILTransformContext of the running transform, or the
decompiler's own IDecompilerTypeSystem. It is now passed explicitly and the
base implementation asserts it is present, so a future invariant can rely
on it without re-plumbing the callers.

This way we avoid having to extract later, as we will never inline if the `isinst` argument if this could result in it being unrepresentable in C#.
This commit also refactors inlining restrictions to avoid requiring special cases in ILInlining itself.
But when making this change, I discovered that this broke our pattern-matching tests, and that the weird IL with double `isinst` is indeed generated by the C# compiler for `if (genericParam is StringComparison.Ordinal)` style code. So instead we also allow `isinst` with a `box(expr-without-side-effects)` argument to be represented with the `expr is T ? (T)expr : null` emulation.
The C# translation of StObj will always apply delayed exceptions in these two cases, so putting an instruction with delayed exceptions in that slot would change program semantics.
Also, assume that unknown inputs to ldfld are temporaries, not unmanaged pointers.
This avoids emitting weird pointer casts when accessing fields on unresolved value types.
