Fix suggestions for missing return type lifetime specifiers

This pull request aims to fix #84592. The issue is that the current code seems to assume that there is only a single relevant span pointing to the missing lifetime, and only looks at the first one:
e5f83d24ae/compiler/rustc_resolve/src/late/lifetimes.rs (L2959)

This is incorrect, though, and leads to incorrect error messages and invalid suggestions. For instance, the example from #84592:
```rust
struct TwoLifetimes<'x, 'y> {
    x: &'x (),
    y: &'y (),
}

fn two_lifetimes_needed(a: &(), b: &()) -> TwoLifetimes<'_, '_> {
    TwoLifetimes { x: &(), y: &() }
}
```
currently leads to:
```
error[E0106]: missing lifetime specifiers

  |                        ^^^^    ^^^^^^     ^^^^^^                  ^^^^^^^^^^
```
There are two problems:
- The error message is wrong. There is only _one_ lifetime parameter expected at the location pointed to by the error message (and another one at a separate location).
- The suggestion is incorrect and will not lead to correct code.

With the changes in this PR, I get the following output:
```

Mainly, I changed `add_missing_lifetime_specifiers_label()` to receive a _vector_ of spans (and counts) instead of just one, and adjusted its body accordingly.
