If we infer such types, we may wish to present them differently, for
example TypeScript allows both a getter and a setter.

So are we going to infer such types? This part of the design is a bit vague.

I can see how we can end up with such a type if the user uses intersection on two tables like these, but I'm not sure how will the inference create such an intersection by itself.

In the implementation, I was thinking we'd use type normalization so we'd end up with a property having an optional read type and an optional write type. So inference would be able to create these types.

* Added a limit on how many instructions the Compiler can safely produce
(reported by @TheGreatSageEqualToHeaven)

C++ API Changes:
* With work started on read-only and write-only properties,
`Property::type` member variable has been replaced with `TypeId type()`
and `setType(TypeId)` functions.
* New `LazyType` unwrap callback now has a `void` return type, all
that's required from the callback is to write into `unwrapped` field.

In our work on the new type solver, the following issues were fixed:

* Work has started to support #77 and
#79
* Refinements are no longer applied on l-values, removing some
false-positive errors
* Improved overload resolution against expected result type
* `Frontend::prepareModuleScope` now works in the new solver
* Cofinite strings are now comparable

And these are the changes in native code generation (JIT):

* Fixed MIN_NUM and MAX_NUM constant fold when one of the arguments is
NaN
* Added constant folding for number conversions and bit operations
* Value spilling and rematerialization is now supported on arm64
* Improved FASTCALL2K IR generation to support second argument constant
* Added value numbering and load/store propagation optimizations
* Added STORE_VECTOR on arm64, completing the IR lowering on this target
