Reference tracking issue for inherent associated types in diagnostic

This makes it clearer that associated types in inherent impls are an intended feature, like the diagnostic for equality constraints in where clauses. (This is more helpful, because the lack of associated types is a confusing omission and it lets users more easily track the state of the feature.)
