gccrs: Fix missing copy constructor arguments

Constructor arguments were missing in type checking for predicates, fixed by adding them.

This commit addresses an issue in gccrs where arguments were missing during the construction of TypeBoundPredicate objects in the type-checking phase. The fix involves adding the necessary arguments to the constructor and assignment operator.

In Details

The gccrs type-binding logic has been corrected by ensuring that TypeBoundPredicate instances are properly initialized with all required arguments during their construction and assignment, resolving a subtle bug in how type bounds were processed.

For Context
type checking
The process by which a compiler verifies that the types used in a program are consistent and adhere to the language's rules, preventing type errors.
predicate
In logic and type systems, a statement or function that evaluates to true or false. In this context, it likely relates to conditions or constraints on types.
copy constructor
A constructor used to create a new object as a copy of an existing object. It's a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming for managing object instances.
