Fix checkAllAllocationFailures being too strict when checking arg types
Before this would fail to compile: ``` fn testFn(alloc: std.mem.Allocator, arr: []const u8) !void { _ = alloc; _ = arr; } test "checkAll" { var arr = [_]u8{ 1, 2, 3 }; try std.testing.checkAllAllocationFailures(std.testing.allocator, testFn, .{arr[0..]}); } ``` with the error `error: Unexpected type for extra argument at index 0: expected []const u8, found *[3]u8` By removing this strict equality check, we allow the type checking to be done during the `@field(args, arg_i_str) = @field(extra_args, field.name);` instead, which then allows for things like type coercion to work, but still will give a compile error if the types are incorrect. So, after this change, the above succeeds (because `*[3]u8` can be coerced to `[]const u8`). The new compile error when providing an incorrect type that can't be coerced looks like this: ``` zig/lib/std/testing.zig:639:35: error: expected type '[]const u8', found '*[3]u32' @field(args, arg_i_str) = @field(extra_args, field.name); ^ ```
