Fix accidental type inference in array coercion


Fixes rust-lang/rust#136420.

If the expectation of array element is a type variable, we should avoid resolving it to the first element's type and wait until LUB coercion is completed.
We create a free type variable instead which is only used in this `CoerceMany`.

[`check_expr_match`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/847e3ee6b0e614937eee4e6d8f61094411eadcc0/compiler/rustc_hir_typeck/src/_match.rs#L72) and [`check_expr_if`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/847e3ee6b0e614937eee4e6d8f61094411eadcc0/compiler/rustc_hir_typeck/src/expr.rs#L1329) where `CoerceMany` is also used do the [same](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/847e3ee6b0e614937eee4e6d8f61094411eadcc0/compiler/rustc_hir_typeck/src/expectation.rs#L50). 

### [FCP Proposal](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140283#issuecomment-2933771068):
> Array expressions normally lub their element expressions' types to ensure that things like `[5, 5_u8]` work and don't result in type mismatches. When invoking a generic function `fn foo<T>(_: [T; N])` with an array expression, we end up with an infer var for the element type of the array in the signature. So when typecking the first array element we compare its type with the infer var and thus subsequently require all other elements to be the same type.
> 
> This PR changes that to instead fall back to "not knowing" that the argument type is array of infer var, but just having an infer var for the entire argument. Thus we typeck the array expression normally, lubbing the element expressions, and then in the end comparing the array expression's type with the array of infer var type.

> impl Trait for Bar {}

### Remaining inconsistency with `if` and `match`(rust-lang/rust#145048):
The typeck of array always uses the element coercion target type as the expectation of element exprs while `if` and `match` use `NoExpectation` if the expected type is an infer var.
This causes that array doesn't support nested coercion. 
```rust
fn foo() {}
fn bar() {}
fn main() {
    let _ =  [foo, if false { bar } else { foo }]; // type mismatch when trying to coerce `bar` into `foo` in if-then branch coercion.
}
```
But we can't simply change this behavior to be the same as `if` and `match` since [many code](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140283#issuecomment-3190564399) depends on using the first element's type as expectation.

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.

Why Rust?

  • Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.

  • Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.

  • Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
