(Re-)Implement `impl_trait_in_bindings`
This reimplements the `impl_trait_in_bindings` feature for local bindings.
"`impl Trait` in bindings" serve as a form of *trait* ascription, where the type basically functions as an infer var but additionally registering the `impl Trait`'s trait bounds for the infer type. These trait bounds can be used to enforce that predicates hold, and can guide inference (e.g. for closure signature inference):
```rust
let _: impl Fn(&u8) -> &u8 = |x| x;
```
They are implemented as an additional set of bounds that are registered when the type is lowered during typeck, and then these bounds are tied to a given `CanonicalUserTypeAscription` for borrowck. We enforce these `CanonicalUserTypeAscription` bounds during borrowck to make sure that the `impl Trait` types are sensitive to lifetimes:
```rust
trait Static: 'static {}
impl<T> Static for T where T: 'static {}
let local = 1;
let x: impl Static = &local;
//~^ ERROR `local` does not live long enough
```

Why can't we just use TAIT inference or something? Well, TAITs in bodies have the problem that they cannot reference lifetimes local to a body. For example:
```rust
type TAIT = impl Display;
let local = 0;
let x: TAIT = &local;
//~^ ERROR `local` does not live long enough
```
That's because TAITs requires us to do *opaque type inference* which is pretty strict, since we need to remap all of the lifetimes of the hidden type to universal regions. This is simply not possible here.

I consider this part of the "impl trait everywhere" experiment. I'm not certain if this needs yet another lang team experiment.
