agra df1327e316 fix: initialize the error-channel slot on every failable implicit success return (issue 0190)
A failable function that returned by IMPLICIT success (no explicit
`return`) left its error-tag slot uninitialized, so a caller's `catch` /
`or` (or `main`) read a garbage tag and reported a phantom unhandled
error — and for value-carrying failables the success value was dropped.
The "no error" sentinel was only written on the explicit-`return;` path.

Unified all function-body-return lowering so the failable-success slot
is always written:
  - void `-> !` fall-through: `ensureTerminator` (control_flow.zig) now
    emits `ret constInt(0)` for a pure-failable end-of-body.
  - value-failable trailing-expression success: `lowerValueBody`
    (stmt.zig) routes through `lowerFailableSuccessReturn`.
  - generic + pack-fn instances: `monomorphizeFunction` (generic.zig) and
    `monomorphizePackFn` (pack.zig) now DELEGATE their body-return to
    `lowerValueBody` instead of hand-rolling a `coerce`+`ret` that drifted
    (covers generic/pack value-failables).

Also fixes the missing-value diagnostic guard added here: it now counts
`.err`-level diagnostics (new `DiagnosticList.errorCount`) rather than the
total list length, so a warning/note emitted while lowering the body
(e.g. an ObjC selector arity warning) can no longer suppress a genuine
"body produces no value" error — which previously shipped an
uninitialized return at exit 0.

Regressions: examples/errors/1061 (void fall-through), 1062 (value-failable
trailing expr), 1063 (generic value-failable trailing expr).

// Generic value-carrying failable functions (`($T) -> T !E`) whose body ends in
// a trailing success EXPRESSION (no explicit `return`) must set the success
// error slot to 0 — the caller's `catch` must NOT fire and the value must be
// intact across instantiations (i64 / string / struct), and `or` must yield the
// real value not the fallback.
// Regression (issue 0190): `lowerGenericInstance` hand-rolled a body-return
// (coerceToType+ret) that missed the value-failable success routing, leaving
// the error-tag slot uninitialized → phantom catch on success / value
// corruption for generic instantiations.
