A test case for broken parameter-type inference

When a Basic function has a parameter without a specified type, its type is
automatically set to variant. However, passing an integer constant as the value
of such parameter makes its type integer rather than variant/integer.

This is a change in LO 7.0 beta1 compared to LO 6.4 and I'm pretty sure its a
bug.
I'm reporting it, because it actually broke some macros I use in production.

A document with a test-case macro is attached.

This bug may be related to
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132563 but I don't think
it's the exact same thing.
