Revert "SI-1786 incorporate defined bounds in inference"

Have to revert because the stricter bounds that it inferred break e.g., slick.
(Backstop for that added as pos/t1786-counter.scala, as minimized by Jason)
Worse, the fix was compilation order-dependent.

There's a less invasive fix (SI-6169) that could be generalized
in `sharpenQuantifierBounds` (used in `skolemizeExistential`),
but I'd rather not mess with existentials at this point.

This reverts commit e28c3edda4dd405ed382227d2a688b799bf33c72.

+/** This a consequence of the current type checking algorithm, where bounds are checked only after variables are instantiated.
+ * I believe this will change once we go to contraint-based type inference.
+ * Alternatively, we can pursue a more extensive fix to SI-6169
+ *
+ * The below code shows a compiler flaw in that the wildcard "_" as value for a bounded type parameter either
+ * breaks the boundary - as it result in Any - or doesn't evaluate to the boundary (as I'd hoped it to be).
