Zahary Karadjov 299cefdc98 make the current PContext accessible through TCandidate
the goal here is to remove all the hacks from ParamTypeMatch and to handle
all type matching in typeRel (the context there is required to evaluate any static
params and to run the compilation tests of user-defined type classes)

# method collide[T](a: TThing, b: TUnit[T]) is instantiated and not
# method collide[T](a: TUnit[T], b: TThing)! This means we need to
# *instantiate* every candidate! However, we don't keep more than 2-3
# candidated around so we cannot implement that for now. So in order
# to avoid subtle problems, the call remains ambiguous and needs to
# be disambiguated by the programmer; this way the right generic is
# instantiated.
