The type that occurs as the thrown error type must conform to the Error protocol. Infer this conformance when the type is a type parameter in the signature of a function.

This lets us write, e.g.,

extension Collection {
  func map<U, E>(body: (Element) throws(E) -> U) throws(E) -> [U] { ... }
}

without needing the E: Error bit.

The type that occurs as the thrown error type must conform to the
`Error` protocol. Infer this conformance when the type is a type
parameter in the signature of a function.

A -debug-generic-signatures | FileCheck test might be more direct than the requiresError() thing, but it probably doesn't matter
