Use an 'approximate' universal upper bound when reporting region errors

Fixes rust-lang#67765

When reporting errors during MIR region inference, we sometimes use
`universal_upper_bound` to obtain a named universal region that we
can display to the user. However, this is not always possible - in a
case like `fn foo<'a, 'b>() { .. }`, the only upper bound for a region
containing `'a` and `'b` is `'static`. When displaying diagnostics, it's
usually better to display *some* named region (even if there are
multiple involved) rather than fall back to a generic error involving
`'static`.

This commit adds a new `approx_universal_upper_bound` method, which
uses the lowest-numbered universal region if the only alternative is to
return `'static`.
