1. Fix "higher kinded" -> "higher ranked" in RFC 3498 …

   In RFC 3498 "Lifetime Capture Rules 2024" we specify that lifetime
   parameters from `for<..>` binders are captured under the rules.
   
   Currently opaque types in Rust do not support capturing these.  In
   early drafts of the document, we had called the missing feature
   "higher ranked lifetime bounds on nested opaque types".  However, we
   had then noticed that the relevant error message in `rustc` called
   these "higher kinded" instead:
   
   > error: higher kinded lifetime bounds on nested opaque types are not
   > supported yet
   
   We changed later drafts to follow that language.  But that language
   was wrong.  These are definitely "higher ranked" lifetime bounds, not
   "higher kinded" ones, whatever that might mean.  We've now fixed the
   error message emitted by `rustc` in:
   
   - rust-lang/rust#122100
   
   Correspondingly, let's now fix this error in the RFC.
