Fixes #22103

If C is a capture-set variable, then a comparison C <: CapSet^{C^} would previously fail in the TypeComparer due to a level mismatch resulting in the test CapSet^ <: CapSet.

For such cases, we now ignore the LHS capture annotation. This is controlled by a new bit in the ApproxState of the TypeComparer.

The extension methods above can be tested as well. I remember they have similar issues.

It causes an infinite regress now, looking into it.

We should have standalone file to test the subtyping:

def test[C^] = 
  val a: C = ???
  val b: CapSet^{C^} = a
  val c: C = b
  val d: CapSet^{C^, ...} = a
  ...

We also want to test nested types are still working:

def test[C^, D^] = 
  A[C] <:< A[CapSet^{C^}] // ok
  A[C] <:< A[CapSet^{D^}] // error
  A[C]^{D^} <:< A[CapSet^{D^}]^{D^} // error

val d: CapSet^{C^, c} = a

// TODO: make "CapSet-ness" of type variables somehow contagious?
// Then we don't have to spell out the bounds explicitly...

We should support that. Say we have def foo[C^, D <: C, E >: C], then we should automatically constraint both D and E to be capture set variables, i.e., D is implicitly lower-bounded by CapSet, and E is implicitly upper-bounded by CapSet^

val d_e_f2: CapSet^{D^,E^,F^} = e1
val d_e_f3: CapSet^{D^,E^,F^} = f1
val f2: F = d_e_f1
val c3: C = d_e_f1 // error

This line and the three following lines are all not flagged as errors, but they should be. Investigating.

Fixes #22103

Subtype problems where at least one side is a type variable representing
a capture variable are canonicalized to capturing type comparisons on
the special `CapSet` for the universe capture sets. For example, `C <:
CapSet^{C^}` becomes `CapSet^{C^} <: CapSet^{C^}`, and `A <: B` becomes
`CapSet^{A^} <: CapSet^{B^}` if both `A` and `B` are capture variables.

Supersedes #22183 and
#22289. This solution is overall
cleaner and does not require adding a new bit to the TypeComparer's
ApproxState.

TODOs/Issues/Questions:

- [x] Fix extension method in test
[cc-poly-varargs.scala](https://github.com/dotty-staging/dotty/blob/capture-subtyping-canon/tests/pos-custom-args/captures/cc-poly-varargs.scala).
Currently causes an infinite regress.
   - [x] Fix the aftermath

      * tests/neg-custom-args/captures/real-try.scala
      * tests/run-custom-args/captures/colltest5
- [x] Some negative cases in test
[capture-vars-subtyping.scala](https://github.com/dotty-staging/dotty/blob/capture-subtyping-canon/tests/neg-custom-args/captures/capture-vars-subtyping.scala)
pass: `D <: E` fails, but its canonicalized form `CapSet^{D^} <:
CapSet^{E^}` now succeeds. Potential problem in the subcapturing
implementation.
- [x] ~Extend to intersection/unions `def f[C^, D^, E <: C | D, F <: C &
D](...) = ...` etc.~ Lacking good uses cases, not planned right now.
- [X] ~If we have `C^` declared in the current context, should there be
a difference between `C` vs. `C^` for subsequent mentions? We currently
do, but seems a bit too subtle for users.~ Will be addressed by a new
scheme for declaring capture variables using context bounds.
