dropck: must assume Box<Trait + 'a> has a destructor of interest.

Fix#25199.
[breaking-change]
The breakage here falls into both obvious and non-obvious cases.
The obvious case: if you were relying on the unsoundness this exposes
(namely being able to reference dead storage from a destructor, by
doing it via a boxed trait object bounded by the lifetime of the dead
storage), then this change disallows that.
The non-obvious cases: The way dropck works, it causes lifetimes to be
extended to longer extents than they covered before. I.e. lifetimes
that are attached as trait-bounds may become longer than they were
previously.
* This includes lifetimes that are only *implicitly* attached as
trait-bounds (due to [RFC 599]). So you may have code that was
e.g. taking a parameter of type `&'a Box<Trait>` (which expands to
`&'a Box<Trait+'a>`), that now may need to be assigned type `&'a
Box<Trait+'static>` to ensure that `'a` is not inadvertantly
inferred to a region that is actually too long. (See earlier commit
in this PR for an example of this.)
