Make inductive cycles always ambiguous

 This makes inductive cycles always result in ambiguity rather than be treated like a stack-dependent error.

This has some  interactions with specialization, and so breaks a few UI tests that I don't agree should've ever worked in the first place, and also breaks a handful of crates in a way that I don't believe is a problem.

On the bright side, it puts us in a better spot when it comes to eventually enabling coinduction everywhere.

## Results

This was cratered in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/116494#issuecomment-2008657494, which boils down to two regressions:
* `lu_packets` - This code should have never compiled in the first place. More below.
* **ALL** other regressions are due to `commit_verify@0.11.0-beta.1` (edit: and `commit_verify@0.10.x`) - This actually seems to be fixed in version `0.11.0-beta.5`, which is the *most* up to date version, but it's still prerelease on crates.io so I don't think cargo ends up picking `beta.5` when building dependent crates.

### `lu_packets`

Firstly, this crate uses specialization, so I think it's automatically worth breaking. However, I've minimized [the regression](https://crater-reports.s3.amazonaws.com/pr-116494-3/try%23d614ed876e31a5f3ad1d0fbf848fcdab3a29d1d8/gh/lcdr.lu_packets/log.txt) to:

```rust
// Upstream crate
pub trait Serialize {}
impl Serialize for &() {}
impl<S> Serialize for &[S] where for<'a> &'a S: Serialize {}

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------- //

// Downstream crate
#![feature(specialization)]
#![allow(incomplete_features, unused)]

use upstream::Serialize;

trait Replica {
    fn serialize();
}

impl<T> Replica for T {
    default fn serialize() {}
}

impl<T> Replica for Option<T>
where
    for<'a> &'a T: Serialize,
{
    fn serialize() {}
}
```

Specifically this fails when computing the specialization graph for the `downstream` crate.

The code ends up cycling on `&[?0]: Serialize` when we equate `&?0 = &[?1]` during impl matching, which ends up needing to prove `&[?1]: Serialize`, which since cycles are treated like ambiguity, ends up in a **fatal overflow**. For some reason this requires two crates, squashing them into one crate doesn't work.

Side-note: This code is subtly order dependent. When minimizing, I ended up having the code start failing on `nightly` very easily after removing and reordering impls. This seems to me all the more reason to remove this behavior altogether.

## Side-note: Item Bounds (edit: this was fixed independently in )

Due to the changes in  where we now consider an alias's item bounds *and* all the item bounds of the alias's nested self type aliases, I've had to add e6b64c61941120f734657106ae2479d05b463197 which is a hack to make sure we're not eagerly normalizing bounds that have nothing to do with the predicate we're trying to solve, and which result in.

This is fixed in a more principled way in .
