This commit does two things which seem unrelated at first, but, together, solve a miscompilation, and potentially slightly speed up compiler perf, at the expense of making #2765 trickier to implement in the future.
Sema: avoid returning a false positive for whether an inferred error set is comptime-known to be empty.
AstGen: mark function calls as not being interested in a result location. This prevents the test case "ret_ptr doesn't cause own inferred error set to be resolved" from being regressed. If we want to accept and implement #2765 in the future, it will require solving this problem a different way, but the principle of YAGNI tells us to go ahead with this change.
