Sema: error on ambiguous coercion of comptime float and ints
The following, from the documentation as of the time of writing, illustrates the problem: ```zig // Compile time coercion of float to int test "implicit cast to comptime_int" { var f: f32 = 54.0 / 5; _ = f; } ``` It is not clear how to unify the types of 54.0 and 5 to perform the division. We can either - cast 54.0 to comptime_int resulting in @as(comptime_int, 10), which is casted to @as(f32, 10), or - cast 5 to comptime_float resulting in @as(comptime_float, 10.8), which is casted to @as(f32, 10.8) Since the two resulting values are different, a compiler error is appropriate. If we know that casting to either type will result in the same value we don't need to error. For instance, 10.0 / 2 is okay, as is 10 / 2.0. Fixes: #12364
