Supply an Any.match method candidate for Any:D
This addresses the use of non-`Str` candidates arriving in `where` constraints that attempt to match against a regex. (R#5464 / #5464). ``` subset S where { m/"aaa"/ } class C { method Str { "aaa" } } my S $s = C.new ``` The same error occurs with where clauses on signature parameters. This can still fail if you are trying to match against an instance of an Any class that does not supply a Str method. However, this seems like a reasonable site for such a concern to be raised. The Any:U candidate (formerly the only candidate) is useful for issuing the standard warning for trying to stringify a type object. It is worth noting that removing it causes issues with running a test case in `t/spec/S05-substitution/subst.t`: ``` $_ = Any; s[ea] = "rea"; is $_, "", 'can use s[]="" when $_ is not set'; ``` This test case is marked as TODO.
