Add `lazy_type_alias` feature gate
Add the `type_alias_type` to be able to have the weak alias used without restrictions.
Part of #112792.

Make `Bound::predicates` use `Clause`
Part of #107250
`Bound::predicates` returns an iterator over `Binder<_, Clause>` instead of `Predicate`.
I tried updating `explicit_predicates_of` as well, but it seems that it needs a lot more change than I thought. Will do it in a separate PR instead.
Emit an error when return-type-notation is used with type/const params
These are not intended to be supported initially, even though the compiler supports them internally...
`EarlyBinder::new` -> `EarlyBinder::bind`
for consistency with `Binder::bind`. it may make sense to also add `EarlyBinder::dummy` in places where we know that no parameters exist, but I left that out of this PR.

Introduce `AliasKind::Inherent` for inherent associated types
Allows us to check (possibly generic) inherent associated types for well-formedness.
Type inference now also works properly.

Support return-type bounds on associated methods from supertraits
Support `T: Trait<method(): Bound>` when `method` comes from a supertrait, aligning it with the behavior of associated type bounds (both equality and trait bounds).
The only wrinkle is that I have to extend `super_predicates_that_define_assoc_type` to look for *all* items, not just `AssocKind::Ty`. This will also be needed to support `feature(associated_const_equality)` as well, which is subtly broken when it comes to supertraits, though this PR does not fix those yet. There's a slight chance there's a perf regression here, in which case I guess I could split it out into a separate query.
