Reimplement the RequirementSource class, which captures how
a particular requirement is satisfied by a generic signature. The
primary goal of this rework is to keep the complete path one follows
in a generic signature to get from some explicit requirement in the
generic signature to some derived requirement or type, e.g.,
We don't currently capture all of the information we want in the path,
but the basic structure is there, and should also allow us to capture
more source-location information, find the "optimal" path, etc. There are
are a number of potential uses:
type metadata it needs, instead of using its own fulfillment
strategy
it's egregious hacks
conformances as needed, e.g., for the recursive-conformances case.
... and probably more simplifications, once we get this right.
