```
AstGen: don't coerce inputs to usize in asmExpr

Instead, use ResultLoc.none to allow for the expression type to be
inferred [^1]. This effectively moves the type coercion to Sema, in
order to turn comptime values into usable values for the backends to
consume. Right now the coercion is applies as comptime_int -> usize and
comptime_float -> f64, as an arbitrary choice.
