Suggest `_` for missing generic arguments in turbofish
The compiler may suggest unusable generic type names for missing generic arguments in an expression context:
```rust
fn main() {
(0..1).collect::<Vec>()
}
```
> help: add missing generic argument
>
> (0..1).collect::<Vec<T>>()
but `T` is not a valid name in this context, and this suggestion won't compile.
I've changed it to use `_` inside method calls (turbofish), so it will suggest `(0..1).collect::<Vec<_>>()` which _may_ compile.
It's possible that the suggested `_` will be ambiguous, but there is very extensive E0283 that will help resolve that, which is more helpful than a basic "cannot find type `T` in this scope" users would get otherwise.
Out of caution to limit scope of the change I've limited it to just turbofish, but I suspect `_` could be the better choice in more cases. Perhaps in all expressions?
