Christoph Wille fe9f6db3ee Emit C# 7.1 default literals where the context supplies the type
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.
