Refactor handling of rechecked types (#22229)

 - Always store new types on rechecking
- Store them in a hashmap which is associated with the rechecker of the
current compilation unit
- After rechecking is done, the map is forgotten, unless keepTypes is
true. Under keepTypes, the map is kept in an attachment of the unit's
root tree.

Change in nomenclature:

    knownType --> nuType
    rememberType --> setNuType
    hasRememberedType --> hasNuType
