Cherry pick of #32776
If a circularity issue is diagnosed while resolving a type’s generic signature, the resulting generic signature is null. Clients like type resolution must handle this case explicitly. This patch shores up a case where we did not consider this possibility. It provides a narrow fix for a class of crash-on-invalid bugs that often manifest when users are in the middle of editing code.
Scope: rdar://66287881 shows that users encounter this crash with some regularity while editing code.
Resolves: rdar://problem/66656428, rdar://64992293, rdar://66287881
Risk: Very Low
Testing: Added regression tests
