Rollup merge of #134154 - dev-ardi:field-expr-generics, r=compiler-errors

suppress field expr with generics error message if it's a method

Don't emit "field expressions may not have generic arguments" if it's a method call without `()`

r? estebank
Fixes #67680

Is this the best way to go? It's by far the simplest I could come up with.
