Properly handle SAM types with wildcards

[Cherry-picked 89735d0][modified]

When typing a closure with an expected type containing a wildcard, the closure
type itself should not contain wildcards, because it might be expanded to an
anonymous class extending the closure type (this happens on non-JVM backends as
well as on the JVM itself in situations where a SAM trait does not compile down
to a SAM interface).

We were already approximating wildcards in the method type returned by the
SAMType extractor, but to fix this issue we had to change the extractor to
perform the approximation on the expected type itself to generate a valid
parent type. The SAMType extractor now returns both the approximated parent
type and the type of the method itself.

The wildcard approximation analysis relies on a new `VarianceMap` opaque type
extracted from Inferencing#variances.

Fixes #16065.
Fixes #18096.
