Hi,

This patch adds exhaustive checking to the MethodType and FunctionDescriptor used to link down calls and upcalls.

These checks define and enforce a set of acceptable carrier types, as well as which carrier type & memory layout
combinations are acceptable. This makes it easier to reason about the set of MethodType and FunctionDescriptor
combinations that can be used during linking, as well as helping to catch any errors made with mismatching carrier
types and memory layouts.

The additional checks turned up 2 cases of carrier type to memory layout mismatch in StdLibTest, which I've fixed.

Thanks,
Jorn
