Description

(Split from: https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server/issues/2279)

I would expect the following code to error with a missing-field for [0]

```
---@class TestClass
---@field [0] string
---@field test string

---@param test TestClass
local function test(test)
end

test({test = "test"})
```
but none is given.

Note: there is type checking on the field

Research direction

Reproduce the reported Lua snippet in the language server and compare the missing-field behavior for the numeric field [0] with the existing type-checking behavior. Trace the missing-field diagnostic path and its handling of numeric keys; done means the example reports [0] as missing while preserving the existing field type check.
