Structurally normalize types as needed in `projection_ty_core`

Introduce a `structurally_normalize` callback to `projection_ty_core`, and then use it before we match on the ty kind in `projection_ty_core`.

Previously we were only structurally normalizing the return type of the `handle_field` struct, but if we were to (e.g.) apply a deref projection to that type, then the resulting type is not guaranteed to be structurally normalized and any subsequent projections applied would ICE.

I'll leave a few comments inline to explain the changes.
