Assignability errors for discriminated unions now check the value of the
discriminant to decide which member of the union to check for
assignability.
Previously, assignability didn't know about discriminated unions and
would check every member, issuing errors for the last member of the
union if assignability failed.
For example:
```ts
type Square = { kind: "sq", size: number }
type Rectangle = { kind: "rt", x: number, y: number }
type Circle = { kind: "cr", radius: number }
type Shape =
| Square
| Rectangle
| Circle;
let shape: Shape = {
kind: "sq",
x: 12,
y: 13,
}
```
`typeRelatedToSomeType` now checks whether each property in the source
type is a discriminant. It finds `kind` and proceeds to look for the
type in the target union that has `kind: "sq"`. If it finds it, which it
does in this example (`Square`), then it checks only assignbility to
`Square`.
The result is that the error now says that property 'size' is missing in
type `{ kind: "sq", x: number, y: number }` instead of saying that that
"sq" is not assignable to type "cr" like it did before.
Fixes #10867
