Rollup merge of #106712 - Ezrashaw:impl-ref-trait, r=estebank
make error emitted on `impl &Trait` nicer

Fixes #106694

Turned out to be simpler than I thought, also added UI test.

Before: ([playground](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=9bda53271ef3a8886793cf427b8cea91))
