[`default_constructed_unit_structs`]: do not lint on type alias paths Fixes #10755. Type aliases cannot be used as a constructor, so this lint should not trigger in those cases. I also changed `clippy_utils::is_ty_alias` to also consider associated types since [they kinda are type aliases too](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/48ec50ae39d0ca0baa0e78f56c395dcc6d7ebd65/compiler/rustc_resolve/src/late/diagnostics.rs#L1520). changelog: [`default_constructed_unit_structs`]: do not lint on type alias paths
