Suggest replacing `.` with `::` in more error diagnostics.
First commit makes the existing "help: use the path separator to refer to an item" also work when the base is a type alias, not just a trait/module/struct.
The existing unconditional `DefKind::Mod | DefKind::Trait` match arm is changed to a conditional `DefKind::Mod | DefKind::Trait | DefKind::TyAlias` arm that only matches if the `path_sep` suggestion-adding closure succeeds, so as not to stop the later `DefKind::TyAlias`-specific suggestions if the path-sep suggestion does not apply. This shouldn't change behavior for `Mod` or `Trait` (due to the default arm's `return false` etc).
This commit also updates `tests/ui/resolve/issue-22692.rs` to reflect this, and also renames it to something more meaningful.
This commit also makes the `bad_struct_syntax_suggestion` closure take `err` as a parameter instead of capturing it, since otherwise caused borrowing errors due to the change to using `path_sep` in a pattern guard.

Second commit adds some cases for `enum`s, where if there is a field/method expression where the field/method has the name of a unit/tuple variant, we assume the user intended to create that variant[^1] and suggest replacing the `.` from the field/method suggestion with a `::` path separator. If no such variant is found (or if the error is not a field/method expression), we give the existing suggestion that suggests adding `::TupleVariant(/* fields */)` after the enum.
