Nicholas Nethercote fe843feaab Use fewer origins when creating type variables.
`InferCtxt::next_{ty,const}_var*` all take an origin, but the
`param_def_id` is almost always `None`. This commit changes them to just
take a `Span` and build the origin within the method, and adds new
methods for the rare cases where `param_def_id` might not be `None`.
This avoids a lot of tedious origin building.

Specifically:
- next_ty_var{,_id_in_universe,_in_universe}: now take `Span` instead of
  `TypeVariableOrigin`
- next_ty_var_with_origin: added

- next_const_var{,_in_universe}: takes Span instead of ConstVariableOrigin
- next_const_var_with_origin: added

- next_region_var, next_region_var_in_universe: these are unchanged,
  still take RegionVariableOrigin

The API inconsistency (ty/const vs region) seems worth it for the
large conciseness improvements.
