Doug Gregor 80eae200b6 [AST] Preserve type sugar for generic typealiases ...

Introduce a new Type node, BoundNameAliasType, which describes a
reference to a typealias that requires substitutions to produce the
underlying type. This new type node is used both for references to
generic typealiases and for references to (non-generic) typealiases
that occur within generic contexts, e.g., Array<Int>.Element.

At present, the new type node is mainly useful in preserving type
sugar for diagnostics purposes, as well as being reflected in other
tools (indexing, code completion, etc.). The intent is to completely
replace NameAliasType in the future.
