auto merge of #15113 : pnkfelix/rust/fsk-add-regression-test-for-ice-from-10846, r=alexcrichton

Includes a bit more comments than usual for a regression test; I felt like documenting Niko's diagnosis of the original problem here. 

Fix #15111 

r? anyone.

+// This is a regression test for the ICE from issue #10846.
+//
+// The original issue causing the ICE: the LUB-computations during
+// type inference were encountering late-bound lifetimes, and
+// asserting that such lifetimes should have already been subsituted
+// with a concrete lifetime.
+//
+// However, those encounters were occurring within the lexical scope
+// of the binding for the late-bound lifetime; that is, the late-bound
+// lifetimes were perfectly valid.  The core problem was that the type
+// folding code was over-zealously passing back all lifetimes when
+// doing region-folding, when really all clients of the region-folding
+// case only want to see FREE lifetime variables, not bound ones.
