Remove `define_debug_via_print` for `ExistentialProjection`, use regular structural debug impl
The pretty print impl for `ExistentialProjection` always prints `AssocItem = Ty`:
6e83046233/compiler/rustc_middle/src/ty/print/pretty.rs (L3293-L3299)
We can't change this, b/c it's used for both pretty printing dyn types and for legacy symbol mangling.
Unfortunately, we also use this printing procedure for `Debug` impls. That means that it leaves out the *trait name* and *trait args* when debug printing an `ExistentialProjection` (or an `ExistentialPredicate` which has a variant for `ExistentialProjection`). This leads to awkward situations, like the two seemingly identical existential projection predicates present in a `dyn Trait` type using the definition below:
```rust
trait Super { type Assoc; }
trait Foo: Super<A, Assoc = i32> + Super<B, Assoc = i32> {}
```
Namely, they both just render as `Projection(Assoc = i32)`! This makes debugging `dyn Trait` type system bugs really hard, so let's use the *regular* debug impl for `ExistentialProjection`.
