By-type pattern matching (#3742)
This change brings by-type pattern matching to Enso.
One can pattern match on Enso types as well as on polyglot types.

For example,
```
case x of
_ : Integer -> ...
_ : Text -> ...
_ -> ...
```
as well as Java's types
```
case y of
_ : ArrayList -> ...
_ : List -> ...
_ : AbstractList -> ...
_ -> ..
```

It is no longer possible to match a value with a corresponding type constructor.
For example
```
case Date.now of
Date -> ...
```
will no longer match and one should match on the type (`_ : Date`) instead.
```
case Date of
Date -> ...
```
is fine though, as requested in the ticket.

The change required further changes to `type_of` logic which wasn't dealing well with polyglot values.

# Important Notes
~I discovered late in the game that nested patterns involving type patterns, such as `Const (f : Foo) tail -> ...` are not possible due to the old parser logic.
I would prefer to add it in a separate PR because this one is already getting quite large.~ This is now supported!
