Ensure tail expression will have a Ty for E0746

When the return type is `!Sized` we look for all the returned
expressions in the body to fetch their types and provide a reasonable
suggestion. The tail expression of the body is normally evaluated after
checking whether the return type is `Sized`. Changing the order of the
evaluation produces undesirable knock down effects, so we detect the
specific case that newcomers are likely to encounter ,returning a single
bare trait object, and only in that case we evaluate the tail
expression's type so that the suggestion will be accurate.
