Fix completion of HashMap::new

The `ty` function in code_model returned the type with placeholders for type
parameters. That's nice for printing, but not good for completion, because
placeholders won't unify with anything else: So the type we got for `HashMap`
was `HashMap<K, V, T>`, which doesn't unify with `HashMap<?, ?, RandomState>`,
so the `new` method wasn't shown.

Now we instead return `HashMap<{unknown}, {unknown}, {unknown}>`, which does
unify with the impl type. Maybe we should just expose this properly as variables
though, i.e. we'd return something like `exists<type, type, type> HashMap<?0,
?1, ?2>` (in Chalk notation). It'll make the API more complicated, but harder to
misuse. (And it would handle cases like `type TypeAlias<T> = HashMap<T, T>` more
correctly.)
