Suggest type param trait bound for binop only when appropriate

Verify that the binop trait *is* implemented for the types *if* all the
involved type parameters are replaced with fresh inferred types. When
this is the case, it means that the type parameter was indeed missing a
trait bound. If this is not the case, provide a generic `note` refering
to the type that doesn't implement the expected trait.
