Impose a configurable limit on the total number of nodes constructed during an implicit search.

Fixes #13838

With this default, it takes the original problem 330 seconds (5.5 minutes) to finish. It seems a bit long, was that intended? I also noticed that if we use 90000 it takes 90 seconds and with 50000 it only takes 50 seconds to finish, the original time does not seem to be proportional. I wonder if we reached some memory limitations. Not sure if we should make this limit smaller.

Half the limit so that we fail in a bit less than a minute instead of more than 5 minutes.
 - Use the wildcard approximation instead of the original type
   since that one determined what is eligible, and the goal
   is to refuse the search if everything is eligible.
 - Also refuse underspecified implicit parameters, not just
   conversions.
 - Treat wildcard types as underspecified.

Two tests had to be reclassified. But the original tests were not meant to compile
anyway. They were bout misleading error messages (no longer the case) and crashers.
Make another test to exercise the original large search behavior

Two improvements for implicit searches involving type variables.

1. We now always add a comment when an implicit search is rejected due
to the "too unspecific" criterion of #13886, commit
[Refine checking for underspecified implicit
queries](db5956b).

There have been quite a few regressions that hit that problem, so it is
good to know immediately what
   the issue is. 

2. There is now a better wildcard approximation of higher-kinded type
applications. This makes several programs (including original #15998)
compile, which were classified as not specific enough before.

Fixes #15998
Fixes #15820
Fixes #15670
