Fix coherence checking for impl trait in type aliases
**UPDATE**: This PR now treats all opaque types as remote. The original description appears below, but is no longer accurate.
Fixesrust-lang#63677
[RFC 2071](rust-lang/rfcs#2071) (impl-trait-existential-types) does not explicitly state how `type_alias_impl_trait` should interact with coherence. However, there's only one choice which makes sense - coherence should look at the underlying type (i.e. the *"defining"* type of the `impl Trait`) of the type alias, just like we do for non-`impl Trait` type aliases.
Specifically, `impl Trait` type aliases that resolve to a local type should be treated like a local type with respect to coherence (e.g. `impl Trait` type aliases which resolve to a foreign type should be treated as a foreign type, and those that resolve to a local type should be treated as a local type).
Since neither inherent impls nor direct trait impl (i.e. `impl MyType` or `impl MyTrait for MyType`) are allowed for type aliases, this usually does not come up. Before we ever attempt to do coherence checking, we will have errored out if an `impl Trait` type alias was used directly in an `impl` clause.
However, during trait selection, we sometimes need to prove bounds like `T: Sized` for some type `T`. If `T` is an impl trait type alias, this requires to know the coherence behavior for `impl Trait` type aliases when we perform coherence checking.
Note: Since determining the underlying type of an `impl Trait` type alias requires us to perform body type checking, this commit causes us to type check some bodies easier than we otherwise would have. However, since this is done through a query, this shouldn't cause any problems
For completeness, I've added an additional test of the coherence-related behavior of `impl Trait` type aliases.
