Incorrect service retrieving

Reports the following problems when retrieving services:

Attempts to retrieve an unregistered service.
Mismatch when retrieving a service: attempting to get a project-level service as an application-level service, or vice versa.

Example (Kotlin):

@Service
class MyAppService

@Service(Service.Level.PROJECT)
class MyProjectService(private val project: Project)

// Bad:
val projectService = service<MyProjectService>()         // The project-level service is retrieved as an application-level service
val applicationService = project.service<MyAppService>() // The application-level service is retrieved as a project-level service

// Good:
val projectService = project.service<MyProjectService>()
val applicationService = service<MyAppService>();
