The type checker doesn't have a general mechanism to "use" the type of a type alias whose type depends on a recursive type declaration which is not yet completely type-checked. In some cases, the type of a type alias is needed before it is determined; the type is incorrect (invalid) in that case but no error is reported. The type-checker is happy with this (incorrect type), but the compiler may crash under some circumstances. A correct fix will likely require some form of forwarding type which is a fairly pervasive change and may also affect the type checker API. This CL introduces a simple side table, a map of broken type aliases, which is consulted before the type associated with a type alias is used. If the type alias is broken, an error is reported. This is a stop-gap solution that prevents the compiler from crashing. The reported error refers to the corresponding issue which suggests a work-around that may be applicable in some cases. Also fix a minor error related to type cycles: If we have a cycle that doesn't start with a type, don't use a compiler error message that explicitly mentions "type". Fixes #50259. Fixes #50276. Fixes #50779. For #50729.
