Introduce a wrapper for "typed valtrees" and properly check the type before extracting the value

This PR adds a new wrapper type `ty::Value` to replace the tuple `(Ty, ty::ValTree)` and become the new canonical representation of type-level constant values.

The value extraction methods `try_to_bits`/`try_to_bool`/`try_to_target_usize` are moved to this new type. For `try_to_bits` in particular, this avoids some redundant matches on `ty::ConstKind::Value`. Furthermore, these methods and will now properly check the type before extracting the value, which fixes some ICEs.

The name `ty::Value` was chosen to be consistent with `ty::Expr`.

Commit 1 should be non-functional and commit 2 adds the type check.
