Uncompilable DefaultImpl for generic functions in protocols with associated types #583

Description

@Brennanium

This is probably a sorta niche use case, but I actually encountered an issue with this in one of my codebases.

A minimal reproduction:

protocol GenericProtocol {
    associatedtype V
    func genericParameter<T>(value: T)
}

currently produces a DefaultImpl class that doesn't compile:

...
class DefaultImplCaller: GenericProtocol, @unchecked Sendable {
    private let reference: Any
    init<_CUCKOO$$GENERIC: GenericProtocol>(from defaultImpl: UnsafeMutablePointer<_CUCKOO$$GENERIC>, keeping reference: @escaping @autoclosure () -> Any?) where _CUCKOO$$GENERIC.V == V {
        self.reference = reference
    
        _storage$1$genericParameter = defaultImpl.pointee.genericParameter // error: Generic parameter 'T' could not be inferred
    }

    private let _storage$1$genericParameter: (T) -> Void // error: Cannot find type 'T' in scope
    func genericParameter<T> (value p0: T) {
        return _storage$1$genericParameter(p0)
    }
}
...

I had to fight with the compiler a bit, but I managed to figure out a fix. I'll be opening up a PR soon, but I just wanted to open up an issue to link to first.
