Consider call `foo(bar())` where bar() returns some type variable `T`;
We had a contract that call `bar` can be completed without completion
of foo (type variables can be inferred from the current context) if `T`
has at least one proper lower constraint (ProperType <: T).
Indeed, new constraints can be added only as upper ones, so there is
no need to grow constraint system.
Unfortunately, we have Exact annotation that is used on return type of
elvis. Now, consider the following situation:
```
fun foo(a: Any) {}
fun bar(e: T): @Exact T
foo(bar("str"))
```
Here, because of Exact annotation, constraint with `Any`-type will be
added as an equal one => our prerequisite that there will be no new
lower constraints is false. `bar("str")` is inferred to Any in OI,
this seems conceptually wrong, but it's another topic of discussion.
In NI we can't just grow constraint system to use outer call because
of another important use-case:
```
fun <T> generic(i: Inv<T>) {}
fun test(a: Inv<*>?, b: Inv<*>) {
generic(a ?: b)
}
```
Common constraint system for these two calls can't be solved
(fundamentally) for this example, only if (a ?: b) and generic(result)
are computed separately.
So, to mitigate initial issue, we'll grow constraint system only if
there is at least one non-proper constraint.

This commit doesn't change behaviour of any inference algorithm, it
introduces opportunity to switch constraint system that is used for
overload resolution and fix problematic cases by changing one enum
entry.
Due to fundamental changes, there are cases where a new inference
algorithm reports overload resolution ambiguity errors (#KT-31670,
#KT-31758), which is correct from its point of view. However, this is
a breaking change and to really make it, we should be very confident
and have enough motivation for it, therefore, we don't change behavior
now in order to collect more examples (if there are any). And if we
find a lot of erroneous examples, we'll be able to change the behavior
quite simply
It's enough to have at least one good constraint.
Note that the whole algorithm can be a bit more general:
we could check also Out<T>, In<T> and verify that T has good only
lower constraint or upper constraint, but there are questions for
types like Inv<Out<T>>, where T should have lower and upper constraints
#KT-31514 Fixed
There is added a new service named `SubstitutingScopeProvider`, that
provides factory that creates captured types and approximator for them.
In OI they are the same as before commit, for NI they are empty, because
that approximation interferes with NI algorithm
That service is injected into function descriptors and property descriptors
and used for creating `SubstitutingScope` with correct services
Also there is changed time when we approximate captured types in NI
(after all call checkers)
#KT-25290 Fixed
Mostly, these optimisations are picked from the old inference.
Also, remove exponential complexity for flexible types in approximation,
note that more correct fix for this would be to introduce new types
that corresponds just to platform types to avoid nullability problems,
but due to complexity it will be done later
#KT-31415 Fixed
There is an inconsistency between old and new inference for storing
receivers of resolved calls. In new inference, for captured types,
receiver will be changed and to preserve behavior of the old inference,
we use original one during important checks.
This is more a workaround than a solution and should be revisited.

In case Java enum has an abstract member, it has the ACC_ABSTRACT flag
set in the bytecode. However, we should still load it with final
modality to be consistent with Kotlin enums which are always considered
final
#KT-23426 Fixed
Since we skipped trivial constraint with `Any?` from parameter type of
function `equals`, the compiler thought that there is no proper
constraints (upper bounds do not matter here) and marked resolved
call as a failed one, then diagnostic about missing equals was added
Also, tune `TrivialConstraintTypeInferenceOracle` for `Any?`-like
constraints
