Fix elaboration with associated type bounds #110512

When computing a trait's supertrait predicates, do not add any associated type trait bounds to that list of supertrait predicates. This is because supertrait predicates are expected to have the same Self type as the trait.

For example, given:

trait Foo: Bar<Assoc: Send>

Before, we would compute that the supertrait predicates of T: Foo are T: Bar and <T as Bar>::Assoc: Send. However, the last bound is a trait predicate for a totally different type than T, and existing code that uses supertrait bounds such as vtable construction, closure fn signature deduction, etc. all rely on the invariant that we have a list of predicates for self type T.

Fixes #76593

The reason for all the extra diagnostic noise is that we're recomputing predicates with a different filter now. These diagnostics should be deduplicated for any end-user though.


This does bring up an interesting question -- is the predicate <T as Bar>::Assoc: Send an implied bound of T: Foo? Because currently the only bounds implied by a (non-alias) trait are its supertraits. I guess I could fix this too, but it would require even more changes, and I'm inclined to punt this question along.

cc @nikomatsakis since this is one of the outstanding blockers for stabilizing associated_type_bounds.

r? types (well i guess could re-roll to anyone on the compiler rotation)

@compiler-errors this looks good to me, I'm not sure if you wanted @nikomatsakis to check it out before merging. If you don't want to wait for him, feel free to bors r=me.

Stabilize associated type bounds (RFC 2289)

This PR stabilizes associated type bounds, which were laid out in [RFC 2289]. This gives us a shorthand to express nested type bounds that would otherwise need to be expressed with nested `impl Trait` or broken into several `where` clauses.

### What are we stabilizing?

We're stabilizing the associated item bounds syntax, which allows us to put bounds in associated type position within other bounds, i.e. `T: Trait<Assoc: Bounds...>`. See [RFC 2289] for motivation.

In all position, the associated type bound syntax expands into a set of two (or more) bounds, and never anything else (see "How does this differ[...]" section for more info).

Associated type bounds are stabilized in four positions:
* **`where` clauses (and APIT)** - This is equivalent to breaking up the bound into two (or more) `where` clauses. For example, `where T: Trait<Assoc: Bound>` is equivalent to `where T: Trait, <T as Trait>::Assoc: Bound`.
* **Supertraits** - Similar to above, `trait CopyIterator: Iterator<Item: Copy> {}`. This is almost equivalent to breaking up the bound into two (or more) `where` clauses; however, the bound on the associated item is implied whenever the trait is used. See rust-lang#112573/rust-lang#112629.
* **Associated type item bounds** - This allows constraining the *nested* rigid projections that are associated with a trait's associated types. e.g. `trait Trait { type Assoc: Trait2<Assoc2: Copy>; }`.
* **opaque item bounds (RPIT, TAIT)** - This allows constraining associated types that are associated with the opaque without having to *name* the opaque. For example, `impl Iterator<Item: Copy>` defines an iterator whose item is `Copy` without having to actually name that item bound.

The latter three are not expressible in surface Rust (though for associated type item bounds, this will change in rust-lang#120752, which I don't believe should block this PR), so this does represent a slight expansion of what can be expressed in trait bounds.

### How does this differ from the RFC?

Compared to the RFC, the current implementation *always* desugars associated type bounds to sets of `ty::Clause`s internally. Specifically, it does *not* introduce a position-dependent desugaring as laid out in [RFC 2289], and in particular:
* It does *not* desugar to anonymous associated items in associated type item bounds.
* It does *not* desugar to nested RPITs in RPIT bounds, nor nested TAITs in TAIT bounds.

This position-dependent desugaring laid out in the RFC existed simply to side-step limitations of the trait solver, which have mostly been fixed in rust-lang#120584. The desugaring laid out in the RFC also added unnecessary complication to the design of the feature, and introduces its own limitations to, for example:
* Conditionally lowering to nested `impl Trait` in certain positions such as RPIT and TAIT means that we inherit the limitations of RPIT/TAIT, namely lack of support for higher-ranked opaque inference. See this code example: rust-lang#120752 (comment).
* Introducing anonymous associated types makes traits no longer object safe, since anonymous associated types are not nameable, and all associated types must be named in `dyn` types.

This last point motivates why this PR is *not* stabilizing support for associated type bounds in `dyn` types, e.g, `dyn Assoc<Item: Bound>`. Why? Because `dyn` types need to have *concrete* types for all associated items, this would necessitate a distinct lowering for associated type bounds, which seems both complicated and unnecessary compared to just requiring the user to write `impl Trait` themselves. See rust-lang#120719.

### Implementation history:

Limited to the significant behavioral changes and fixes and relevant PRs, ping me if I left something out--
* rust-lang#57428
* rust-lang#108063
* rust-lang#110512
* rust-lang#112629
* rust-lang#120719
* rust-lang#120584
