Rollup merge of #104717 - GuillaumeGomez:test-projection-used-as-const-generic, r=oli-obk

Add failing test for projections used as const generic

Based on the experiment done in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/104443, we realized it's currently not possible to support projections in const generics. More information about it in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/104443#discussion_r1029375633.

This PR adds the UI test in any case so we can gather data in order to work towards adding `TyAlias` into the ABI in the future.
