I think this is case-by-case (for this case, it may be true) -- in some cases 
(see test7 and test8 for example in `recovery-expr-type.cpp`), we do want to 
check something even on the code with errors to emit useful secondary 
diagnostics. In general we want to emit a full list of diagnostics and at the 
same time avoid any suspicious diagnostics, however achieving both goals is 
hard.

Depending on how fatal the error is

- if the error is fatal, RecoveryError is just a dependent-type wrapper, we 
should not call check* to emit diagnostics (we're less certain about the 
quality of these diagnostics), this is mostly done by leveraging on the 
existing template dependent mechanism;
- if the error is minor, RecoveryError preserves a concrete type, we might want 
call check* to emit diagnostics as we're more confident; 

The current solution makes sense to fix the crash, but I think the main reason 
is that `CheckArgAlignment` now can be invoked with a dependent-type parameter 
in non-template context (after we extended the "dependent" concept from 
depending on template parameters to depending on template parameters and 
errors), so we should fix `CheckArgAlignment`.
