Description

Problem*

Resolves #2535

Summary*

We currently panic when attempting to return a slice from an unconstrained runtime to an ACIR runtime. In some cases such as in the linked issue the panic is not very clear at all.

I'm not a fan of these hyper-specific taglines which might not apply to the actual cause of the error from the user. If we're not specifically checking for Vec, we shouldn't mention it in the error message imo. Otherwise it makes the message sound more confusing / imprecise.

Yeah that is a fair point. I tried to mitigate with the language "If attempting". I did it this way as this issues an error when we do codegen on the call which isn't super clear about the return type itself. I figured if a user wrote a struct with a slice in it they would know, but for Vec they may be unsure as it is one of our stdlib types.

# Description

## Problem\*

Resolves #4245 

## Summary\*

This adds a type check for call expressions to check the arguments of a
call to an unconstrained function from a constrained function. As we
have two different runtime environments this makes type checking a bit
more complicated. As a followup to this PR we could try and catch the
error added here (#4280) sooner.
However, if the unconstrained function uses generics we must still fall
back to the "type check" in SSA/ACIR gen from PR #4280.

This PR now errors for the snippet in issue with the below using `nargo
check`:

# Description

## Problem\*

Resolves <!-- Link to GitHub Issue -->

Followup to #4280 which added a Brillig call check in SSA and
#4281 which type checks the
arguments to an unconstrained call.

## Summary\*

#4280 added a type check that is only caught during SSA as it was
simpler for comparing the runtimes of function as well as encompassing
any use of generics for an unconstrained function definition. However,
we can still catch the error earlier in type check.

I also removed the specific tag-line as mentioned in this
[comment](#4280 (comment)).
However, as `Vec` is the only non-obvious place a slice may be used I
think the specific tag-line is ok in this case.
