Bridge functions plus a readField hook and TypeHierarchy injection, active only when a program defines an `Any` datatype. Inert otherwise.
resolveFieldRef does a cross-scope field lookup only for `Any`-typed targets, so a concrete target can't bind an unrelated composite's field. Adds regression tests.

Adds the read-side bridge that lets Laurel resolve and read a field on a value
whose static type is
Any(a class instance carried by reference), by unboxingit to its heap
Composite. Gated on the program defining anAnydatatype, soexisting Laurel programs are unaffected.
Example:
Python values often reach Laurel typed
Any(unannotated parameters, specself, heterogeneous containers). Reading an attribute then has to recover theunderlying object:
