No warnings

Actual Behaviour
Cannot assign `integer` to parameter `int64`.
 - Type `integer` cannot match `int64`
 - Type `number` cannot match `int64`Lua Diagnostics.(param-type-mismatch)
Reproduction steps
---@class int64: integer

local a = 1ULL
local b = 1

f(a)
f(b)
f(1)

Research direction

Start with the Lua reproduction in the issue and run it through the Visual Studio Code extension to confirm the param-type-mismatch diagnostic for integer values passed to an int64 parameter. Trace the diagnostics and type-checking entry points responsible for class types and primitive numeric types. Done means the reported valid calls produce no warnings while incompatible assignments remain diagnosed.
