Prefer extensions over conversions and implicits for member selection

Before the changes, if
`isAsGoodValueType` was called with an extension and a given conversion,
it would prefer the conversion over the extension,
because only the former yielded true in `isGiven`.

Which contradicted the logic from searchImplicit which
preferred extension over conversions for member selection.
