Deal with case where a certain instantiation of a generic
function/method leads to an unsatisfiable type assertion or type case.
In that case, the compiler was causing a fatal error while trying to
create an impossible itab for the dictionary. To deal with that case,
allow ITabLsym() to create a dummy itab even when the concrete type
doesn't implement the interface. This dummy itab is analogous to the
"negative" itabs created on-the-fly by the runtime.
We will use the dummy itab in type asserts and type switches in
instantiations that use that dictionary entry. Since the dummy itab can
never be used for any real value at runtime (since the concrete type
doesn't implement the interface), there will always be a failure for the
corresponding type assertion or a non-match for the corresponding
type-switch case.
