202  * Check and set 'att' if 't' is a recursive 'alias this' type
203  *
204  * The goal is to prevent endless loops when there is a cycle in the alias this chain.
205  * Since there is no multiple `alias this`, the chain either ends in a leaf,
206  * or it loops back on itself as some point.
207  *
208  * Example: S0 -> (S1 -> S2 -> S3 -> S1)
209  *
210  * `S0` is not a recursive alias this, so this returns `false`, and a rewrite to `S1` can be tried.
211  * `S1` is a recursive alias this type, but since `att` is initialized to `null`,
212  * this still returns `false`, but `att1` is set to `S1`.
213  * A rewrite to `S2` and `S3` can be tried, but when we want to try a rewrite to `S1` again,
214  * we notice `att == t`, so we're back at the start of the loop, and this returns `true`.
215  *
216  * Params:
217  *   att = type reference used to detect recursion. Should be initialized to `null`.
218  *   t   = type of 'alias this' rewrite to attempt
219  *
