As a holdout from before GC was implemented, we previously allowed RefFunc expressions to have type `funcref` rather than a specific signature type matching that of the referenced function. Remove this allowance and start requiring the types to be correct and precise to eliminate the possibility of stale types inhibiting (or invalidating!) optimizations. Update various older passes to update the types of RefFuncs, including those in tables, to keep their output passing validation. Also update the kitchen sink example test to construct RefFunc expressions with the correct type via the C API.
