any does not support combined protocols with primary associated type without a typealias

[rnapier]

Description

If a protocol with a primary associated type (such as RangeExpression) is combined using & with another protocol (such as Sendable), it cannot directly be wrapped with any. It can, however, be wrapped with an intermediate typealias.

Steps to reproduce

struct Period: Sendable {
    // Fails:
    // Non-protocol, non-class type 'RangeExpression<Int>' cannot be used within a protocol-constrained type
    var monthsBad: any RangeExpression<Int> & Sendable

    // Succeeds:
    typealias IntRangeSendable = RangeExpression<Int> & Sendable
    var monthsGood: any IntRangeSendable
}

Expected behavior

Both of these should be identical and compile. However, only the second is allowed. The following similar cases are also all allowed:

any CustomStringConvertible & Sendable // non-associated type
any Equatable & Sendable // associated type, but not primary
any RangeExpression & Sendable // primary associated type, but not specified

More self-contained:

protocol P<A> {
  associatedtype A
}
protocol Q {}

do {
  let _: any Q & P<Int>
}

Looks like type resolution is not expecting parameterized protocol types in a composition when the composition is an existential constraint.

The restriction here is artificial, we should just remove it.

Curious about the status of this issue, just ran into it again today.
