Title: Preliminary work for opt-in builtin types

Moves the vast majority of builtin bound checking out of type contents and into the trait system.

This is a preliminary step for a lot of follow-on work:

- opt-in builtin types, obviously
- generalized where clauses, because TypeContents has this notion that a type parameter has a single set of builtin kinds, but with where clauses it depends on context
- generalized coherence, because this adds support for recursive trait selection

Unfortunately I wasn't able to completely remove Type Contents from the front-end checking in this PR. It's still used by EUV to decide what gets moved and what doesn't.
