Closes #5623.
All the compile error tests are passing,
but the check for error set unreachable else prongs are causing some problems.PR no longer contains checks for error sets
The else prong might be required in one context and not in another. This is probably most apparent in generics where the error set could depend on some argument.
Example in std/io/reader.zig:
This might example might generate error: unreachable else prong depending on if ReadError contains any more errors.
We could maybe get a similar effect from compile time constants such as target?
This PR could be merged if we remove the error message for error sets.
