We have a number of structs with more lifetimes than necessary. This commit removes them. LLM disclosure: I asked Claude Code to check for unnecessary lifetimes in all types with three or more lifetimes, and it produced a list of candidates (half of which were invalid). I did the modifications for the valid cases myself, and found a couple more cases along the way.
