Unrolled build for rust-lang#125214

Rollup merge of rust-lang#125214 - compiler-errors:gat-guide, r=lcnr

Only make GAT ambiguous in `match_projection_projections` considering shallow resolvability

In rust-lang#123537, I tweaked the hack from rust-lang#93892 to use `resolve_vars_if_possible` instead of `shallow_resolve`. This considers more inference guidance ambiguous. This resulted in crater regressions in rust-lang#125196.

I've effectively reverted the change to the old behavior. That being said, I don't *like* this behavior, but I'd rather keep it for now since rust-lang#123537 was not meant to make any behavioral changes. See the attached example.

This also affects the new solver, for the record, which doesn't have any rules about not guiding inference from param-env candidates which may constrain GAT args as a side-effect.

r? `@lcnr` or `@jackh726`
