Support struct implicit conversions in type-checking (#870)

I should emphasize that I am **completely cheating** here. This PR does not add support for actually _performing_  implicit conversions at run time, because the AST doesn't yet contain the necessary type information. At run time, code like `var p: Point = {.x = 1, .y = 2};` directly initializes the name `p` with the _struct_ value `{.x = 1, .y = 2}`; no object of type `Point` is actually created. I'm only getting away with this because we don't yet have any tests that can tell the difference.
