Always create elided lifetime parameters for functions
Anonymous and elided lifetimes in functions are sometimes (async fns) --and sometimes not (regular fns)-- desugared to implicit generic parameters.
This difference of treatment makes it some downstream analyses more complicated to handle. This step is a pre-requisite to perform lifetime elision resolution on AST.
There is currently an inconsistency in the treatment of argument-position impl-trait for functions and async fns:
```rust
trait Foo<'a> {}
fn foo(t: impl Foo<'_>) {} //~ ERROR missing lifetime specifier
async fn async_foo(t: impl Foo<'_>) {} //~ OK
fn bar(t: impl Iterator<Item = &'_ u8>) {} //~ ERROR missing lifetime specifier
async fn async_bar(t: impl Iterator<Item = &'_ u8>) {} //~ OK
```
The current implementation reports "missing lifetime specifier" on `foo`, but **accepts it** in `async_foo`.
This PR **proposes to accept** the anonymous lifetime in both cases as an extra generic lifetime parameter.
This change would be insta-stable, so let's ping t-lang.
Anonymous lifetimes in GAT bindings keep being forbidden:
```rust
fn foo(t: impl Foo<Assoc<'_> = Bar<'_>>) {}
^^ ^^
forbidden ok
```
