Rollup merge of rust-lang#79158 - lcnr:lazy-norm-coerce, r=oli-obk

type is too big -> values of the type are too big

strictly speaking, `[u8; usize::MAX]` or even `[[[u128; usize::MAX]; usize::MAX]; usize::MAX]` are absolutely fine types as long as you don't try to deal with any values of it.

This error message seems to cause some confusion imo, for example in rust-lang#79135 (comment) so I would prefer us to be more precise here.

See the added test case which uses one of these types without causing an error.
