fix segfault in effect tracking for sym node with nil type (#24114)
fixes #24112 Sym nodes in templates that could be open are [given `nil` type](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/22d2cf217597468ace8ba540d6990b1f6d8a816a/compiler/semtempl.nim#L274) when `--experimentalOpenSym` is disabled so that they can be semchecked to give a warning since #24007. The first nodes of object constructors (in this case) and in type conversions don't replace their first node (the symbol) with a typechecked one, they only call `semTypeNode` on it and leave it as is. Effect tracking checks if the type of a sym node has a destructor to check if the node type should be replaced with the sym type. But this causes a segfault when the type of the node is nil. To fix this, we always set the node type to the sym type if the node type is nil. Alternatively `semObjConstr` and `semConv` could be changed to set the type of their first node to the found type but I'm not sure if this would break anything. They could call `semExprWithType` on the first node but `semTypeNode` would still have to be called (maybe call it before?). This isn't a problem if the sym node has a type but is just nested in `nkOpenSym` or `nkOpenSymChoice` which have nil type instead (i.e. with openSym enabled), so maybe this still is the "most general" solution, I don't know.
