a964b6ad78 [AST] Introduce the notion of a protocol requirement signature.
This is a generic signature that stores exactly the requirements that a
protocol decl introduces, not letting them be implied by the Self :
Protocol requirement, nor storing any requirements introduced by the
protocols requirements.

Specifically, suppose we have

    protocol Foo {}
    protocol Bar {}

    protocol Baz {
        associatedtype X : Foo
    }
    protocol Qux: Baz {
        associatedtype X : Bar
    }

The normal generic signature and (canonical) protocol requirement
signature of `Baz` will be, respectively

    <Self where Self : Baz>
    <Self where Self : Baz, Self.X : Foo>

And for `Qux`, they will be:

    <Self where Self : Qux>
    <Self where Self : Qux, Self : Baz, Self.X : Bar>

Note that the `Self.X : Foo` requirement is not listed.

For the moment, this is unused except for `-debug-generic-signatures`.
