Regression wrt complex type positions #11431

In current Haxe, the position is now part of the complex type. However when creating complex type with macros we don't always have this position set, in which case it will be set to null_pos. But the problem is that if the type is not found, Haxe compiler will simply print Type not found : Name to the output without any position context, making it very hard to debug...

I can easily hit into this error by refactoring some code, without much macros involved so I think that's quite a significant issue.

I'm not sure it's the right fix but it now gives me proper position for my refactoring. Reopening so @Simn can give a deep look maybe.

It might be better if decode_ast_path doesn't put null_pos there in the first place. I'll take a look.

How exactly do you create these ComplexTypess? I'm trying to understand how it's possible to have pos set but not posPath.
