Now that dartdoc gets these right, listing and linking them consistently in a few more places seems like the right thing to do. Additionally, insure that the correct span class is in place for type parameters even where they're embedded as part of another name.
This reveals a more general problem that we're mixing assembling complex things likes name + generic types + parameters via templates and via method calls, but IMO that's a refactor for a different day.
We can now link the bound classes in navigation when the user is viewing the class page.

The overall appearance change is subtle, just making type parameters the same throughout as other parameters to things.
