Rollup merge of #130866 - compiler-errors:dyn-instantiate-binder, r=lcnr

Allow instantiating object trait binder when upcasting

This PR fixes two bugs (that probably need an FCP).

### We use equality rather than subtyping for upcasting dyn conversions

This code should be valid:

```rust
#![feature(trait_upcasting)]

trait Foo: for<'h> Bar<'h> {}
trait Bar<'a> {}

fn foo(x: &dyn Foo) {
    let y: &dyn Bar<'static> = x;
}
```
But instead:

```
error[E0308]: mismatched types
 --> src/lib.rs:7:32
  |
7 |     let y: &dyn Bar<'static> = x;
  |                                ^ one type is more general than the other
  |
  = note: expected existential trait ref `for<'h> Bar<'h>`
             found existential trait ref `Bar<'_>`
```

And so should this:

```rust
#![feature(trait_upcasting)]

fn foo(x: &dyn for<'h> Fn(&'h ())) {
    let y: &dyn FnOnce(&'static ()) = x;
}
```

But instead:

```
error[E0308]: mismatched types
 --> src/lib.rs:4:39
  |
4 |     let y: &dyn FnOnce(&'static ()) = x;
  |                                       ^ one type is more general than the other
  |
  = note: expected existential trait ref `for<'h> FnOnce<(&'h (),)>`
             found existential trait ref `FnOnce<(&(),)>`
```

Specifically, both of these fail because we use *equality* when comparing the supertrait to the *target* of the unsize goal. For the first example, since our supertrait is `for<'h> Bar<'h>` but our target is `Bar<'static>`, there's a higher-ranked type mismatch even though we *should* be able to instantiate that supertrait binder when upcasting. Similarly for the second example.

### New solver uses equality rather than subtyping for no-op (i.e. non-upcasting) dyn conversions

This code should be valid in the new solver, like it is with the old solver:

```rust
// -Znext-solver

fn foo<'a>(x: &mut for<'h> dyn Fn(&'h ())) {
   let _: &mut dyn Fn(&'a ()) = x;
}
```

But instead:

```
error: lifetime may not live long enough
 --> <source>:2:11
  |
1 | fn foo<'a>(x: &mut dyn for<'h> Fn(&'h ())) {
  |        -- lifetime `'a` defined here
2 |    let _: &mut dyn Fn(&'a ()) = x;
  |           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ type annotation requires that `'a` must outlive `'static`
  |
  = note: requirement occurs because of a mutable reference to `dyn Fn(&())`
```

Specifically, this fails because we try to coerce `&mut dyn for<'h> Fn(&'h ())` to `&mut dyn Fn(&'a ())`, which registers an `dyn for<'h> Fn(&'h ()): dyn Fn(&'a ())` goal. This fails because the new solver uses *equating* rather than *subtyping* in `Unsize` goals.

This is *mostly* not a problem... You may wonder why the same code passes on the new solver for immutable references:

```
// -Znext-solver

fn foo<'a>(x: &dyn Fn(&())) {
   let _: &dyn Fn(&'a ()) = x; // works
}
```

That's because in this case, we first try to coerce via `Unsize`, but due to the leak check the goal fails. Then, later in coercion, we fall back to a simple subtyping operation, which *does* work.

Since `&T` is covariant over `T`, but `&mut T` is invariant, that's where the discrepancy between these two examples crops up.
