Given an associated item that needs a named lifetime, look at the enclosing `impl` item for one. If there is none, look at the self type and the implemented trait to see if either of those has an anonimous lifetime. If so, suggest adding a named lifetime.

```
When an associated type is missing a lifetime, point at its enclosing `impl`, whether it has or doesn't have lifetimes defined. If it does have a lifetime, suggest using it.
