Joe Groff 482cc8ae24 SILGen: Emit a closure literal in a function conversion as the converted type. ...

Closure literals are sometimes type-checked as one type then immediately converted to another
type in the AST. One particular case of this is when a closure body never throws, but the closure
is used as an argument to a function that takes a parameter that `throws`. Emitting this naively,
by emitting the closure as its original type, then converting to throws, can be expensive for
async closures, since that takes a reabstraction thunk. Even for non-async functions, we still want
to get the benefit of reabstraction optimization for the closure literal through the conversion too.
So if the function conversion just add `throws`, emit the closure as throwing, and pass down the
context abstraction pattern when emitting the closure as well.
