[`useless_conversion`]: don't lint if type parameter has unsatisfiable bounds for `.into_iter()` receiver
Fixes#11300.
Before this PR, clippy assumed that if it sees a `f(x.into_iter())` call and the type at that argument position is generic over any `IntoIterator`, then the `.into_iter()` call must be useless because `x` already implements `IntoIterator`, *however* this assumption is not right if the generic parameter has more than just the `IntoIterator` bound (because other traits can be implemented for the IntoIterator target type but not the IntoIterator implementor, as can be seen in the linked issue: `<[i32; 3] as IntoIterator>::IntoIter` satisfies `ExactSizeIterator`, but `[i32; 3]` does not).
So, this PR makes it check that the type parameter only has a single `IntoIterator` bound. It *might* be possible to check if the type of `x` in `f(x.into_iter())` satisfies all the bounds on the generic type parameter as defined on the function (which would allow removing the `.into_iter()` call even with multiple bounds), however I'm not sure how to do that, and the current fix should always work.
**Edit:** This PR has been changed to check if any of the bounds don't hold for the type of the `.into_iter()` receiver, so we can still lint in some cases.
