Set symbol on union that is returned from getSpreadType#18965
Set symbol on union that is returned from getSpreadType#18965
getSpreadType#18965Conversation
Previously, it was only set on the top-level type, and only if that top-level type was an object type. Now it uses `forEachType` to set the symbol on every object type in the union as well, if `getSpreadType` returns a union.
Also tighten up the existing test code in the file.

Won't this trample over the existing symbol on any object types spread (should one be present)?

Can we instead pass this symbol to getSpreadType and avoid the mutation after creating the type..

@weswigham In its current state getSpreadType + the emptyObjectType check above will never trample an existing type. However, @mhegazy's idea is much less error-prone for future changes. Right now, getSpreadType is only called from places that have a symbol on hand anyway, since it's not a real type operator like it was planned to be.

Done. It caused some churn in the ad-hoc JSX code, but it's probably worth it for the readability in checkObjectLiteral.
Previously, getSpreadType didn't set any flags and relied on its callers to do so. This was error-prone because getSpreadType often returns non-fresh types.

Fixes #16694
