[ty] Perform assignability etc checks using new `Constraints` trait (#19838)
"Why would you do this? This looks like you just replaced `bool` with an
overly complex trait"
Yes that's correct!
This should be a no-op refactoring. It replaces all of the logic in our
assignability, subtyping, equivalence, and disjointness methods to work
over an arbitrary `Constraints` trait instead of only working on `bool`.
The methods that `Constraints` provides looks very much like what we get
from `bool`. But soon we will add a new impl of this trait, and some new
methods, that let us express "fuzzy" constraints that aren't always true
or false. (In particular, a constraint will express the upper and lower
bounds of the allowed specializations of a typevar.)
Even once we have that, most of the operations that we perform on
constraint sets will be the usual boolean operations, just on sets.
(`false` becomes empty/never; `true` becomes universe/always; `or`
becomes union; `and` becomes intersection; `not` becomes negation.) So
it's helpful to have this separate PR to refactor how we invoke those
operations without introducing the new functionality yet.
Note that we also have translations of `Option::is_some_and` and
`is_none_or`, and of `Iterator::any` and `all`, and that the `and`,
`or`, `when_any`, and `when_all` methods are meant to short-circuit,
just like the corresponding boolean operations. For constraint sets,
that depends on being able to implement the `is_always` and `is_never`
trait methods.
