Do not emit type errors on recovered blocks

When a parse error occurs on a block, the parser will recover and create
a block with the statements collected until that point. Now a flag
stating that a recovery has been performed in this block is propagated
so that the type checker knows that the type of the block (which will be
identified as `()`) shouldn't be checked against the expectation to
reduce the amount of irrelevant diagnostic errors shown to the user.
