The call to mono_class_inflate_generic_method_checked will set error
when there are invalid types (e.g. typeof(void)/typeof(int*)) passed
in. This should not be an assert, we should all to the "Invalid
generic arguments" message below. This does loose the error returned
by mono_class_inflate_generic_method_checked but that error isn't user
friendly. It would report be something like:
"MVAR 1 cannot be expanded with type 0x1"
We can just report the more readable error to the user.
Note I also had to remove the "typeArguments" message from the error.
When this error is freed Mono will attempt to deallocate that value, but
since it's not a allocated value our allocator will crash (In Unity we
replace Mono's allocators with our own).
