Handle `impl Trait` where `Trait` has an assoc type with missing bounds
When encountering a type parameter that needs more bounds the trivial case is `T` `where T: Bound`, but it can also be an `impl Trait` param that needs to be decomposed to a type param for cleaner code. For example, given
```rust
fn foo(constraints: impl Iterator) {
for constraint in constraints {
println!("{:?}", constraint);
}
}
```
the previous output was
```
error[E0277]: `<impl Iterator as std::iter::Iterator>::Item` doesn't implement `std::fmt::Debug`
--> src/main.rs:3:26
|
1 | fn foo(constraints: impl Iterator) {
| - help: consider further restricting the associated type: `where <impl Iterator as std::iter::Iterator>::Item: std::fmt::Debug`
2 | for constraint in constraints {
3 | println!("{:?}", constraint);
| ^^^^^^^^^^ `<impl Iterator as std::iter::Iterator>::Item` cannot be formatted using `{:?}` because it doesn't implement `std::fmt::Debug`
|
= help: the trait `std::fmt::Debug` is not implemented for `<impl Iterator as std::iter::Iterator>::Item`
= note: required by `std::fmt::Debug::fmt`
```
which is incorrect as `where <impl Iterator as std::iter::Iterator>::Item: std::fmt::Debug` is not valid syntax nor would it restrict the positional `impl Iterator` parameter if it were.
The output being introduced is
```

help: introduce a type parameter with a trait bound instead of using `impl Trait`
|
LL | fn foo<T: Iterator>(constraints: T) where <T as std::iter::Iterator>::Item: std::fmt::Debug {
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
```
This suggestion is correct and lead the user in the right direction: because you have an associated type restriction you can no longer use `impl Trait`, the only reasonable alternative is to introduce a named type parameter, bound by `Trait` and with a `where` binding on the associated type for the new type parameter `as Trait` for the missing bound.
*Ideally*, we would want to suggest something like the following, but that is not valid syntax today
```
