Add unpolished, experimental support for AFIDT (async fn in dyn trait)
This allows us to begin messing around `async fn` in `dyn Trait`. Calling an async fn from a trait object always returns a `dyn* Future<Output = ...>`.
To make it work, Implementations are currently required to return something that can be coerced to a `dyn* Future` (see the example in `tests/ui/async-await/dyn/works.rs`). If it's not the right size, then it'll raise an error at the coercion site (see the example in `tests/ui/async-await/dyn/wrong-size.rs`). Currently the only practical way of doing this is wrapping the body in `Box::pin(async move { .. })`.
This PR does not implement a helper type like a "`Boxing`"[^boxing] adapter, and I'll probably follow-up with another PR to improve the error message for the `PointerLike` trait (something that explains in just normal prose what is happening here, rather than a trait error).
[^boxing]: https://rust-lang.github.io/async-fundamentals-initiative/explainer/user_guide_future.html#the-boxing-adapter
This PR also does not implement new trait solver support for AFIDT; I'll need to think how best to integrate it into candidate assembly, and that's a bit of a matter of taste, but I don't think it will be difficult to do.
This could also be generalized:
* To work on functions that are `-> impl Future` (soon).
* To work on functions that are `-> impl Iterator` and other "dyn rpitit safe" traits. We still need to nail down exactly what is needed for this to be okay (not soon).
