check integer truncation (#5413) and make more operators follow T+T => T (#3759)

the sysimg builds, but still need to:
  - check same-size signed<->unsigned conversion
  - make tests pass
get numbers test passing with checked integer conversions and type-stable arithmetic
make a couple things safe for checked signed<->unsigned conversion
check signed<->unsigned conversions

this would be a bit cleaner without the code in intfuncs that dispatches
on Unsigned.

signed() and unsigned() are convenient for testing bit patterns in the
test suite. for now replace with assigned() and asunsigned().

uint8(x) is convenient for moving bytes around, so it remains unchecked.
we should perhaps rename this to byte(), and either eliminate uint8()
entirely, or make it checked.

make signed() and unsigned() unchecked. check only in convert()

a few fixes in base for the convert and arithmetic changes

add a bit of widening to reductions, to make up for the new
type-preserving arithmetic.

allow reducedim(+, A, 2), which previously gave
