Patrick Walton 05e3248a79 librustc: Match trait self types exactly.
This can break code that looked like:

    impl Foo for Box<Any> {
        fn f(&self) { ... }
    }

    let x: Box<Any + Send> = ...;
    x.f();

Change such code to:

    impl Foo for Box<Any> {
        fn f(&self) { ... }
    }

    let x: Box<Any> = ...;
    x.f();

That is, upcast before calling methods.

This is a conservative solution to #5781. A more proper treatment (see
the xfail'd `trait-contravariant-self.rs`) would take variance into
account. This change fixes the soundness hole.

Some library changes had to be made to make this work. In particular,
`Box<Any>` is no longer showable, and only `Box<Any+Send>` is showable.
Eventually, this restriction can be lifted; for now, it does not prove
too onerous, because `Any` is only used for propagating the result of
task failure.

This patch also adds a test for the variance inference work in #12828,
which accidentally landed as part of DST.

Closes #5781.
