fix: reject implicit ?T -> bool coercion instead of silent false (issue 0169)
The Optional->Concrete unwrap classify rule treated ?i64 -> bool as unwrap+narrow (both builtin), silently yielding false for every optional (present or null). specs.md defines no implicit optional->bool conversion. Reject it: conversions.zig adds an optional_to_bool_reject plan (dst == bool, child != bool); coerce.zig emits a located diagnostic suggesting '!= null'. Covers arg/field-init/return via the shared coerceMode. The if-opt presence test (issue 0164) is a separate path, untouched. Regression: examples/diagnostics/1199-diagnostics-optional-to-bool.sx + conversions.test.zig unit test. Verified by 3 adversarial reviews, suite 789/0. Filed adjacent issue 0179 (whole implicit ?T->concrete unwrap family silently miscompiles a null optional; design-touching).

// Passing an optional (`?T`) where a `bool` is expected is a hard type error,
|
||||
// not a silent miscompile. Regression (issue 0169): the coercion classifier's
|
||||
// "optional → concrete (unwrap+narrow)" rule used to accept `?i64 → bool`
|
||||
// (both child and dst are builtin), unwrapping the payload and narrowing it to
|
||||
// `i1` — which silently produced `false` for EVERY optional, present or null
|
||||
// alike. There is no implicit optional→bool coercion in the language (only
|
||||
// `T → ?T` wrapping and flow-sensitive narrowing); a bool position wants an
|
||||
// explicit presence test. The classifier now rejects `?T → bool` (payload not
|
||||
// itself a bool) at the coercion site (exit 1) with a `!= null` fix-it. The
|
||||
// `if opt {}` presence test (issue 0164) is a separate path and still works.
