Currently there is `Ty` and `BoundTy`, and `Region` and `BoundRegion`, and `Const` and... `BoundVar`. An annoying inconsistency. This commit repurposes the existing `BoundConst`, which was barely used, so it's the partner to `Const`. Unlike `BoundTy`/`BoundRegion` it lacks a `kind` field but it's still nice to have because it makes the const code more similar to the ty/region code everywhere. The commit also removes `impl From<BoundVar> for BoundTy`, which has a single use and doesn't seem worth it. These changes fix the "FIXME: We really should have a separate `BoundConst` for consts".
