Background:
The anonymous lifetime mode is used to prohibit elided lifetimes where
they didn't used to be permitted, and instead require that `'_` be
used. For example:
```rust
impl Trait for Ref<T> { .. }
// ^^^^^^ ERROR: should be `Ref<'_, T>`
```
When we are parsing the parts of the impl header, we enter into an
alternate mode called `CreateParameter`. In this mode, we give an
error for things like `Ref<T>`, but for elided lifetimes in a
reference type like `&T` we make the elided lifetime into an in-band
lifetime:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/4f99f37b7e213d69a489884f651adfc6d217cef5/src/librustc/hir/lowering.rs#L4017-L4035
This was not intended to change behavior because we only enter into
that mode in contexts where elision was not historically
permitted. However, the problem is that we fail to reset the mode when
we enter into bounds like `Fn(&u32)`, where elision *was* allowed --
the same occurs for fn types like `fn(&u32`). This PR restores the
original mode in those contexts.
