Tests an issue with a lack of generality of handlers.

In general, a set of cases:

    { e ... -> k }

should be typed in the following way:

  1. The scrutinee has type `Request {E, g} r -> s` where `E` is all
     the abilities being handled. `g` is a slack variable, because all
     abilities that are used in the handled expression pass through
     the handler. Previously this was being inferred as merely
     `Request {E} r -> s`
  2. The continuation variable `k` should have type `o ->{E, g} r`,
     matching the above types (`o` is the result type of `e`).
     Previously this was being checked as `o ->{E0} r`, where `E0` is
     the ability that contains `e`.

```ucm
scratch/main> builtins.merge
```

```unison
structural ability Stream a where
  emit : a -> ()

Stream.uncons : '{Stream a, g} r ->{g} Either r (a, '{Stream a, g} r)
Stream.uncons s =
  go : Request {Stream a,g} r -> Either r (a, '{Stream a,g} r)
  go = cases
    { r } -> Left r
    { Stream.emit a -> tl } -> Right (a, tl : '{Stream a,g} r)
  handle !s with go
