Unify the handling of the "inheritance" clauses of a generic type
parameter, associated type, or protocol, walking them in a
TypeRepr-preserving manner and adding requirements as they are
discovered. This sets the stage for providing better source-location
information [*].
This eliminates a redundant-but-different code path for protocol
"inheritance" clauses, which was using
ProtocolDecl::getInheritedProtocols() rather than looking at the
actual TypeReprs, and unifies the logic with that of associated types
and type parameters. This eliminates a near-DRY violation, sets us up
for simplifying the "inherited protocols" part of ProtocolDecl, and
sets us up better for the soon-to-be-proposed
class C { }
protocol P: C { }
[*] We still drop it, but now we have a FIXME!
