Currently it's exact, but there are places in vec that use it in conjuction with next_power_of_two to do it the other way, and #2062 also wants to reserve in powers of two.

Clearly there should be two different versions. Should the default be exact? If so, what should the next_power_of_two version be called?

Jesse suggested reserve_at_least which I think is good. Think I will go ahead and add that and update the documentation on vec::reserve to indicate the exact behavior. Do the same for str::reserve probably.

Fixes rust-lang#63677

RFC rust-lang#2071 (impl-trait-existential-types) does not explicitly state how
impl trait type alises should interact with coherence. However, there's
only one choice which makes sense - coherence should look at the
underlying type (i.e. the 'defining' type of the impl trait) of the type
alias, just like we do for non-impl-trait type aliases.

Specifically, impl trait type alises which resolve to a local type
should be treated like a local type with respect to coherence (e.g.
impl trait type aliases which resolve to a forieign type should be
treated as a foreign type, and those that resolve to a local type should
be treated as a local type).

Since neither inherent impls nor direct trait impl (i.e. `impl MyType`
or `impl MyTrait for MyType`) are allowd for type aliases, this
usually does not come up. Before we ever attempt to do coherence
checking, we will have errored out if an impl trait type alias was used
directly in an 'impl' clause.

However, during trait selection, we sometimes need to prove bounds like
'T: Sized' for some type 'T'. If 'T' is an impl trait type alias, this
requires to know the coherence behavior for impl trait type aliases when
we perform coherence checking.

Note: Since determining the underlying type of an impl trait type alias
requires us to perform body type checking, this commit causes us to type
check some bodies easlier than we otherwise would have. However, since
this is done through a query, this shouldn't cause any problems

For completeness, I've added an additional test of the coherence-related
behavior of impl trait type aliases.
