Fixes #22874.
wildApproxapproximates parameter references and type variables by wildcards. When doing so for anAnnotatedType, this can produce trees with wildcards types, causing the type assigner to fail. For example, considerApply(fn, args)wherefnhas typeTermParamRef. ApplyingwildApproxwill approximate the type offnto a wildcard, leading the type assigner forApplyto emit an error stating that<?>does not take parameters.This issue is somehow similar to the one described in #19957 (comment), which was fixed by #21941 (and re-worked in #22839).
This PR fixes the issue by approximating annotated types in
wildApprox: annotated types are approximated by their parent types if they are not refining, or by wildcards upper-bounded by their parent types if they are.
