NOTE: Gat's are not finished this is just a starting point
This patch is the initial part in supporting generic associated types. In rust we have trait item types that get implemented for example:
The trait position uses a Ty::Placeholder which is just a thing that gets set for lazy evaluation to the impl type alias which is actually a Ty::Projection see:
0798add
For more info the projection type needs to hold onto generics in order to properly support generic types this GAT's support extends this all the way to the placeholder which still needs to be done.
Fixes #4276
