Also fixes #353

This will prevent unreadable existential types from being ascribed, as well as circumventing a bug where an existential type might be qualified: Box[MyScope._1] forSome { type _1 ... }.

val box: Box[_] = null.asInstanceOf[Box[_]]

val boxes1: Seq[Box[_]] = Seq(new Box[A], new Box[B])

Can we add a test case for wildcard bounds? For example “Box[_ <: Path]”

opt(utpe)(normal)
rep(" forSome { ", decls.infos, "; ", " }")(pprint)
if (config.better) {
val wildcardInfos = decls.infos.map(_.withDisplayName("_"))

There are cases where it’s not safe to convert existentials into wildcards, for example “Map[T, T] forSome { type T }”. I think the rule is that existential types can only be converted into wildcards if they’re referenced once.
