Description

Problem*

Resolves #3089. This issue also affected impl search which uses try_unify to compare against every impl candidate. In some programs this could cause invalid type bindings, eventually leading to various mismatched/unexpected types panics during SSA.

Summary*

I've refactored try_unify to instead return a set of type bindings which must be applied afterward if the function was successful. Each caller of try_unify must do this manually now. Additionally, lookup_trait_implementation must now juggle several sets of type bindings and only commit to those that are not instantiation bindings (otherwise the generic trait would be permanently bound to another type), and even then only commit to them on success.

Additional Context

Documentation*

Check one:

  • No documentation needed.
  • Documentation included in this PR.
  • [Exceptional Case] Documentation to be submitted in a separate PR.

PR Checklist*

  • I have tested the changes locally.
  • I have formatted the changes with Prettier and/or cargo fmt on default settings.

# Description

## Problem & Summary

Checking a trait function's type previously was very ad-hoc. When a
`TraitMethodReference` was found, it'd manually create a function type
from the trait function's definition and instantiate it - even though
instantiating a `Type::Function` does nothing.

I've changed the TraitFunction struct to add a `Type` field for the
whole function type, which includes generics. The type now should
usually be a `Type::Forall`. In addition, I've added the trait's `Self`
type to the list of generics in the Type::Forall.

This fixes the issue where the `Self` type would be bound after certain
function calls which would affect callsites but not a function body
leading to a type mismatch between function return type and a call's
return type. This is the issue we were encountering after adding traits
to noir-protocol-circuits.

## Additional Information

No tests are provided since I was unable to make a minimal repro from
the thousands of lines of noir-protocol-circuits unfortunately. I'll
keep experimenting while this PR is up.

I'm also merging into jf/fix-3089 since this was somewhat accidentally
built on top of it. The two changes are otherwise unrelated.
