Rollup merge of #118915 - compiler-errors:alias-nits, r=lcnr

Add some comments, add `can_define_opaque_ty` check to `try_normalize_ty_recur`

Follow-up from #117278, since I was recently re-reviewing this code.

 //! Doing this via a separate goal is called "deferred alias relation" and part
 //! of our more general approach to "lazy normalization".
 //!
-//! This goal, e.g. `A alias-relate B`, may be satisfied by one of three branches:
-//! * normalizes-to: If `A` is a projection, we can prove the equivalent
-//!   projection predicate with B as the right-hand side of the projection.
-//!   This goal is computed in both directions, if both are aliases.
-//! * subst-relate: Equate `A` and `B` by their substs, if they're both
-//!   aliases with the same def-id.
-//! * bidirectional-normalizes-to: If `A` and `B` are both projections, and both
-//!   may apply, then we can compute the "intersection" of both normalizes-to by
-//!   performing them together. This is used specifically to resolve ambiguities.
+//! This is done by first normalizing both sides of the goal, ending up in
+//! either a concrete type, rigid projection, opaque, or an infer variable.
+//! These are related further according to the rules below:
+//!
+//! (1.) If we end up with a rigid projection and a rigid projection, then we
+//! relate those projections structurally.
+//!
+//! (2.) If we end up with a rigid projection and an alias, then the opaque will
+//! have its hidden type defined to be that rigid projection.
+//!
+//! (3.) If we end up with an opaque and an opaque, then we assemble two
+//! candidates, one defining the LHS to be the hidden type of the RHS, and vice
+//! versa.
+//!
+//! (4.) If we end up with an infer var and an opaque or rigid projection, then
+//! we assign the alias to the infer var.
+//!
+//! (5.) If we end up with an opaque and a rigid (non-projection) type, then we
+//! define the hidden type of the opaque to be the rigid type.
+//!
+//! (6.) Otherwise, if we end with two rigid (non-projection) or infer types,
+//! relate them structurally.
