Use root obligation on E0277 for some cases

When encountering trait bound errors that satisfy some heuristics that
tell us that the relevant trait for the user comes from the root
obligation and not the current obligation, we use the root predicate for
the main message.

This allows to talk about "X doesn't implement Pattern<'_>" over the
most specific case that just happened to fail, like  "char doesn't
implement Fn(&mut char)" in
`tests/ui/traits/suggest-dereferences/root-obligation.rs`

The heuristics are:

 - the type of the leaf predicate is (roughly) the same as the type
   from the root predicate, as a proxy for "we care about the root"
 - the leaf trait and the root trait are different, so as to avoid
   talking about `&mut T: Trait` and instead remain talking about
   `T: Trait` instead
 - the root trait is not `Unsize`, as to avoid talking about it in
   `tests/ui/coercion/coerce-issue-49593-box-never.rs`.

```
