Fixes #5849.
When inferring types, if the source and target are both non-generic object types we don't descend into the types because it we know it won't produce inferences. However, in 1.7 all classes are generic because of the implied this type parameter, so we ended up doing a lot more work. With this PR, we check that the type references actually have explicitly specified type arguments and only descend into the types then.
I have manually verified that performance is back to where it was before.
