Fix scala#21402: Always allow type member extraction for stable scrut…

…inees in match types.

Previously, through the various code paths, we basically allowed
type member extraction for stable scrutinees if the type member
was an alias or a class member. In the alias case, we took the
alias, whereas in the class case, we recreated a selection on the
stable scrutinee. We did not allow that on abstract type members.

We now uniformly do it for all kinds of type members. If the
scrutinee is a (non-skolem) stable type, we do not even look at
the info of the type member. We directly create a selection to it,
which corresponds to what we did before for class members.

We only try to dealias type members if the scrutinee type is not
a stable type.
