Validate that the descriptor operand of ref.cast_desc is always a
descriptor reference (or a nullref or unreachable), even if the ref
operand and therefore the ref.cast_desc are unreachable. This removes an
edge case passes might otherwise have to consider where the descriptor
operand is not actually a descriptor. Update GTO to preserve this new
validation invariant.
Also print an unreachable ref.cast_desc instruction when we can
determine its type from a concrete, non-null descriptor operand rather
than bailing out and printing an unreachable block. This allows us to
preserve such IR through text round trips, which can help e.g. test case
reduction.
