inference: Remove special casing for `!` (#55271) We have a handful of cases in inference where we look up functions by name (using `istopfunction`) and give them special behavior. I'd like to remove these. They're not only aesthetically ugly, but because they depend on binding lookups, rather than values, they have unclear semantics as those bindings change. They are also unsound should a user use the same name for something differnt in their own top modules (of course, it's unlikely that a user would do such a thing, but it's bad that they can't). This particular PR removes the special case for `!`, which was there to strengthen the inference result for `!` on Conditional. However, with a little bit of strengthening of the rest of the system, this can be equally well evaluated through the existing InterConditional mechanism.
