type_alias_enum_variants: fix #61801; allow a path pattern to infer

Fix #61801.

Given a type-relative path pattern referring to an enum variant through a type alias, allow inferring the generic argument applied in the expectation set by the scrutinee of a `match` expression.

Similar issues may exist for `let` statements but I don't know how to test for that since `PhantomData<T>` is necessary...)

The gist of the problem here was that `resolve_ty_and_res_ufcs` was called twice which is apparently no good... It is possible that this PR is papering over some deeper problem, but that is beyond my knowledge of the compiler.
