Issue Description:

It's possible to build and run code (without warnings) where a type conforms to a protocol that isn't available for a deployment target which then crashes at runtime.

My example uses an `Identifiable` conformance in an app with an iOS 12 deployment target.

It seems like the line `struct Store<T> where T: Animal` should be generating a compile error like: `'Animal' is only available in iOS 13 or newer`.

Edit: See sample project. Couldn't get code formatted properly. The app crashes when run on the iOS 12 simulator.

Confirming that I can reproduce using an iPhone 8 Plus iOS 12.4 simulator + Xcode 12 beta 1 toolchain. With a master compiler + Xcode 12 beta 1, lldb itself crashes.

Looks like the compiler isn't checking for availability in certain contexts. Here's an example that doesn't rely on a stdlib protocol.

// Xcode 12 beta 1
// Deployment target: iOS 14
// -------------------------------------
@available(iOS 15.0, *)
protocol Foo {}

class A: Foo {} // This doesn't trigger an error

class B {}
extension B: Foo {} // No error

class C {
    let foo: Foo! // 'Foo' is only available in iOS 15.0 or newer
    init() {
        fatalError()
    }
}

let a1 = A() // No error

let a2: Foo = A() // ''Foo' is only available in iOS 15.0 or newer'

func foo1<T: Foo>() -> T { fatalError() } // ''Foo' is only available in iOS 15.0 or newer'

func foo2(arg: Foo) { fatalError() } // ''Foo' is only available in iOS 15.0 or newer'

I suppose this is fine because the error is eventually trigger later on (such as in the a2: Foo case). It looks like this is one scenario where it doesn't trigger:

@available(iOS 15, *)
protocol P {
  var foo: Int { get }
}

protocol Q: P {}
struct S: Q { let foo = 0 }
class C<T: Q> {}

let s = C<S>()

I did a little bit of research and found this comment here:

// We allow a type to conform to a protocol that is less available than
// the type itself. This enables a type to retroactively model or directly
// conform to a protocol only available on newer OSes and yet still be used on
// older OSes.
// To support this, inside inheritance clauses we allow references to
// protocols that are unavailable in the current type refinement context.

Swift 5.5 checks conformance availability.
