Fix handling of generic self: Self. (#7922)

We previously discarded a `generic` applied to `self`, resulting in
silently treating `generic self: Self` as a runtime parameter and
producing a weird error on `template self: Self`.

Instead of forcibly making all `self` parameters non-runtime, change the
*default* for a parameter named `self` to be runtime.

This is only a partial fix; more work is required to support `fn
F(generic self)` with an omitted type.
