performance: Speed up Method Completions By Taking Advantage of Orphan Rules
(Continues rust-lang/rust-analyzer#16498)
This PR speeds up method completions by doing two things without regressing `analysis-stats`[^1]:
- Filter candidate traits prior to calling `iterate_path_candidates` by relying on orphan rules (see below for a slightly more in-depth explanation). When generating completions [on `slog::Logger`](https://github.com/oxidecomputer/omicron/blob/5e9e59c312cd787ba50cf6776f220951917dfa14/common/src/ledger.rs#L78) in `oxidecomputer/omicron` as a test, this PR halved my completion times—it's now 454ms cold and 281ms warm. Before this PR, it was 808ms cold and 579ms warm.
- Inline some of the method candidate checks into `is_valid_method_candidate` and remove some unnecessary visibility checks. This was suggested by `@Veykril` in [this comment](rust-lang/rust-analyzer#16498 (comment)).
We filter candidate traits by taking advantage of orphan rules. For additional details, I'll rely on `@WaffleLapkin's` explanation [from Zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/185405-t-compiler.2Frust-analyzer/topic/Trait.20Checking/near/420942417):
> A type `A` can only implements traits which
> 1. Have a blanket implementation (`impl<T> Trait for T {}`)
> 2. Have implementation for `A` (`impl Trait for A {}`)
>
> Blanket implementation can only exist in `Trait`'s crate. Implementation for `A` can only exist in `A`'s or `Trait`'s crate.
Big thanks to Waffle for its keen observation!

I think some additional improvements are possible:
- `for_trait_and_self_ty` seemingly does not distinguish between `&T`, `&mut T`, or `T`, resulting in seemingly irrelevant traits like `tokio::io::AsyncWrite` being being included for, e.g., `&slog::Logger`. I don't know they're being considered due to the [autoref/autoderef behavior](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/blob/a02a219773629686bd8ff123ca1aa995fa50d976/crates/hir-ty/src/method_resolution.rs#L945-L962), but I wonder if it'd make sense to filter by mutability earlier and not consider trait implementations that require `&mut T` when we only have a `&T`.
- The method completions [spend a _lot_ of time in unification](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/185405-t-compiler.2Frust-analyzer/topic/Trait.20Checking/near/421072356), and while there might be low-hanging fruit there, it might make more sense to wait for the new trait solver in `rustc`. I dunno.
[^1]: The filtering occurs outside of typechecking, after all.
