Accept and pass arguments to __unknown_anytype in argument

positions of Objective-C methods.

It is possible to recover a lot of type information about
Objective-C methods from the reflective metadata for their
implementations.  This information is not rich when it
comes to struct types, however, and it is not possible to
produce a type in the debugger's round-tripped AST which
will really do anything useful during type-checking.
Therefore we allow __unknown_anytype in these positions,
which essentially disables type-checking for that argument.
We infer the parameter type to be the unqualified type of
the argument expression unless that expression is an
explicit cast, in which case it becomes the type-as-written
of that cast.
