Backport of #58521 to release/6.0

/cc @lambdageek

Customer Impact

Code using generic default interface methods instantiated to valuetypes will crash. The cause is an incorrect unboxing of the this argument of the managed method. The callee would work correctly but when someone used this, there would be incorrect data or a crash.

Fixes #58394

Testing

CI. Added a new regression test.

Risk

Moderate. I added some additional assertions in the trampoline for calls like this on branches that I thought couldn't happen. It's possible there's some managed code that could hit those assertions. (On the other hand if I preemptively fixed the "couldn't happen" cases incorrectly, or if they're incorrect to begin with, those crashes would be difficult to diagnose since they would be in later unrelated managed methods).

Don't unbox a valuetype `this` if the generic method is a DIM

Fixes #58394
