There are a few implicit conversions that are implemented by an `impl` of `ImplicitAs` that delegates to code in explorer:
- Converting between tuple types
- Converting from tuples of types to `type`
- Converting from tuples of values to an array type
- Converting between struct types
- Converting from a struct type to a class type
These conversions can all rely on performing more conversions for elements or subobjects, but previously those inner conversions could only be performed if they were built into explorer. This change instead uses the full implicit conversion machinery in explorer to perform these conversions, including searching for a user-defined `impl` of `ImplicitAs` when necessary.
For example, this permits a conversion from `{.a: T}` to `{.a: U}`, or from `(T, T)` to `(U, U)`, or from `(T, T)` to `[U; 2]` when there is a user-defined conversion from `T` to `U`.
Depends on #2878
