Rollup merge of #121258 - fmease:assoc-const-eq-reject-overly-generic-tys, r=compiler-errors
Reject overly generic assoc const binding types

Split off from #119385 to make #119385 easier to review.

---

In the *instantiated* type of assoc const bindings

1. reject **early-bound generic params**
   * Provide a rich error message instead of ICE'ing ([#108271](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/108271)).
   * This is a temporary and semi-artificial restriction until the arrival of *generic const generics*.
   * It's quite possible that rustc could already perfectly support this subset of generic const generics if we just removed some checks (some `.no_bound_vars().expect(…)`) but even if that was the case, I'd rather gate it behind a new feature flag. Reporting an error instead of ICE'ing is a good first step towards an eventual feature gate error.
2. reject **escaping late-bound generic params**
   * They lead to ICEs before & I'm pretty sure that they remain incorrect even in a world with *generic const generics*

Together with #118668 & #119385, this supersedes #118360.
Fixes #108271.
