The ad-hoc name resolution rule for `exports` forgets to check the
requested meaning. When `getTypeReferenceType` calls`
resolveTypeReferenceName` with `Type` only in order to give an error
when the program uses a value like a type, it is incorrectly able to
resolve `exports` instead of producing an error. Then this incorrect
symbol gets treated like an alias, which it isn't, causing the assert.
The fix, for now, is to make resolution of `exports` check the requested
meaning so that it only resolves when `Value` is requested. This makes
the above code an error ("Cannot use the namespace 'exports' as a
type."), but I think this is fine for a bug fix. We can decide later if
`exports` should behave like other expandos and be a legal type
reference.
Note that the name actually does resolve correctly, so JS users will get
the desired completions. They'll just have an error to suppress if they
have checkJs on.
