References Issue

This attempts to fix at least one of the sub issues related to the ability to use Zod's z.infer that was identified in #1256
#1256 (comment)

1. Typeof Name Calculation Issue
   Error message: No matching model found for referenced type value.

@Route("/test")
export class TSOATestController extends Controller {
  @Get("/")
  async test(): Promise<ValueType> {
    return null as unknown as ValueType;
  }
}

const value = null;

type Infer<T> = T;

type ValueType = Infer<typeof value>;

The issue is that when calcTypeName runs for a typeof operator type (a TypeQueryNode), it calls calcRefTypeName on the operand. The doc comment and code for calcRefTypeName indicate it only accepts a reference to a type. The obvious problem here is that the operand of typeof is never going to reference a type. The typescript typeof operator only accepts references to javascript variables, functions, etc. – i.e., non-types.

Thus, the call to this.calcRefTypeName(arg.exprName) is simply wrong, and is an outright bug that needs to be fixed.

Test plan

Adds a test case to the metadata / parameter resolver for typeof types as a parameter or return type

Adds an (expensive) unit test for TypeResolver to explicitly enumerate all of the type combinations that the resolver supports in a clean room environment. Open to suggestions on making this more efficient by combining into a single virtual source file, but the context of type right next to test is very valuable imo.

I've also included some types in this test that still fail (currently skipped) and are related to the other issues identified in #1256

@WoH can you take a look at this when you get a chance?

[WoH]

I'll get to it over the weekend!

It looks good from slimming the code, but I'll try to play around with it a bit

[WoH]

I'd prefer if you could integrate the tests in this file with the existing tests

Spec Generators Tests most likely

A lot of the property management should already exist in checker based resolutions.

Ideally we can merge them together.
