Rollup merge of rust-lang#72621 - Aaron1011:fix/trait-select-error, r=nikomatsakis

Don't bail out of trait selection when predicate references an error

Fixes rust-lang#72590

With PR rust-lang#70551, observing a `ty::Error` guarantees that compilation is
going to fail. Therefore, there are no soundness impliciations to
continuing on when we encounter a `ty::Error` - we can only affect
whether or not additional error messags are emitted.

By not bailing out, we avoid incorrectly determining that types are
`!Sized` when a type error is present, which allows us to avoid emitting
additional spurious error messages.

The original comment mentioned this code being shared by coherence -
howver, this change resulted in no diagnostic changes in any of the
existing tests.
