Fixes #12270
I was a bit cautious in the past about nodes without a type, crashing the interpreter if that happened.
However, compiled Crystal deals with nodes without a type as if they were NoReturn, or nodes whose type size is zero. This PR changes the interpreter in some places to do that.
Ideally, compiled Crystal doesn't have nodes without types, but that's a larger change and I'd like to avoid making changes to compiled Crystal for now.
