Jordan Rose 4a6fe941c7 [Serialization] Do less work checking if a value can be deserialized. (#9666) ...

Previously we recorded the canonical type of the declaration and made
sure we could deserialize that, but that's a lot of extra work
building up intermediate types that we mostly don't need. Instead,
record smaller types that represent the possible points of failure---
right now, just the nominal types that are referenced by the value
(function, variable/constant, subscript, or initializer). I chose to
use types instead of declarations here because types can potentially
encode more complicated constraints later (such as generic types
checking that their arguments still conform).

This gains us back 20% of type-checking time on a compile-time
microbenchmark: `let _ = [1, 2]`. I expect the effect is less dramatic
the more expressions you have, since we only need to deserialize
things once.
