A nominal aggregate that contains itself (or a mutual peer) BY VALUE has no
finite layout and infinite-recursed typeSizeBytes into a stack overflow —
for SOURCE enums/structs as well as comptime-constructed types.
New `checkInfiniteSize` pass (lower/decl.zig, Pass 1g — after type
registration, before body lowering): walks the by-VALUE containment graph
(pointer/slice/optional payloads break the cycle, so `*Self` stays valid);
on a back-edge it emits a loud diagnostic — "type 'X' is infinitely sized
(it contains itself by value); use a pointer ('*X') to break the cycle" —
and poisons the offending field to `.unresolved` so sizing can't recurse
before the build halts on the error. Covers source + declare/define types,
direct + mutual recursion.
examples/1178 locks the diagnostic; issue 0139 marked RESOLVED. This also
completes METATYPE PLAN F5's by-value-self-reference rejection. Full suite
green (675).
