Remove typeidIsValid() checks in can_coerce_type(). These checks

were pretty expensive and I believe the case they were put in to
defend against can no longer arise, now that we have dependency checks
to prevent deletion of a type entry that is still referenced.  Certainly
the example given in the CVS log entry can't happen anymore.
Since this was the only use of typeidIsValid(), remove the routine too.
