SI-8244 Fix raw type regression under separate compilation
In #1901, handling of raw types encountered in signatures during class file parsing was changed to work in the same manner as `classExistentialType`, by using `existentialAbstraction(cls.tparms, cls.tpe_*)` But this never creates fresh existential symbols, and just sticks the class type parameters it `quantified`: scala> trait T[A <: String] defined trait T scala> val cls = typeOf[T[_]].typeSymbol cls = trait T#101864 scala> cls.typeParams res0 = List(type A#101865) scala> cls.tpe_* res1 = T#101864[A#101865] scala> classExistentialType(cls) res3 = T#101864[_ <: String#7209] scala> val ExistentialType(quantified, result) = res3 List(type A#101865) In the enclosed test case, this class type parameter was substituted during `typeOf[X] memberType sym`, which led us unsoundly thinking that `Raw[_]` was `Raw[X]`. I've added a TODO comment to review the other usages of `classExistentialType`. Test variations include joint and separate compilation, and the corresponding Scala-only code. All fail with type errors now, as we expect. I've also added a distillation of a bootstrap error that failed when I forgot to wrap the `existentialType`.

+ // TODO Review the way this is used. I see two potential problems:
+ // 1. `existentialAbstraction` here doesn't create fresh existential type symbols, it just
+ // uses the class type parameter symbols directly as the list of quantified symbols.
+ // See SI-8244 for the trouble that this can cause.
+ // Compare with callers of `typeParamsToExistentials` (used in Java raw type handling)
+ // 2. Why don't we require a prefix? Could its omission lead to wrong results in CheckabilityChecker?
