This function does not seem to differ in any interesting way from `!typeRequiresComptime`, other than the `is_extern` param which is only used in one place, and some differences did not seem correct anyway. My reasoning for changing opaque types to be comptime-only is that `explainWhyTypeIsComptime` is quite happy to explain why they are. :D
This makes `std.ArrayListUnmanaged(void)` usable.

With these changes, it is now possible to compile the llvm backend even without llvm linked. There is a lot of work to make this generally useful, but it is already capable of performing
-fno-libllvm -fno-emit-bin -fstrip --verbose-llvm-ir=output.llwithout any external help. Compiling the behavior tests to an ll file and then using llvm to finish the compilation separately produces a binary that passes all tests.
