getExpandoSymbol looks for the initialiser of a symbol when it is an expando value (IIFEs, function exprs, class exprs and empty object literals) and returns the symbol.
Previously, however, it returned the symbol of the initialiser without merging with the declaration symbol itself. This missed, in particular, the prototype assignment in the following pattern:
getJSDocValueReference had weird try-again code that relied on calling getTypeOfSymbol, which does correctly merge the symbols. This PR re-removes that code and instead makes getExpandoSymbol call mergeJSSymbols itself.
Fixes #34707
