sink parameter inference for types that have destructors (#13544)

* ensure capitalize doesn't take an inferred sink parameter

* sink parameter inference: first version, for now disabled. Changed that sink parameters can be consumed multiple times in order to adhere to our spec.

* sink inference can now be disabled with .nosinks; sometimes for proc type interop this is required

* fixes yet another critical DFA bug

* better implementation that also understands if expressions etc

* document sink parameter inference and allow for global disabling

- `=sink` type bound operator is now optional. Compiler can now use combination
of `=destroy` and `copyMem` to move objects efficiently.
## Language changes
- Unsigned integer operators have been fixed to allow promotion of the first operand.

- The Nim compiler now supports a new pragma called ``.localPassc`` to
pass specific compiler options to the C(++) backend for the C(++) file
that was produced from the current Nim module.
- The compiler now inferes "sink parameters". To disable this for a specific routine,
annotate it with `.nosinks`. To disable it for a section of code, use
`{.push sinkInference: off.}`...`{.pop.}`.
