Mangling uses a generic signature is used to shorten member types
to just a name where the protocol is unambiguous.
Unfortunately, in the particular case of 'associated type paths',
the IRGen mangler did not consistently set the right signature.
Sometimes, it would use no signature, and other times it would use
the signature of the concrete conforming type, which is incorrect
because the member type is written relative to the root protocol's
generic signature,
<Self : P>
.This was caught by some new assertions I'm adding to the rewrite
system.
Note that this changes the mangling of a few symbols, but none
are public in the ABI.
