Rollup merge of #81176 - camsteffen:qpath-res, r=oli-obk

Improve safety of `LateContext::qpath_res`

This is my first rustc code change, inspired by hacking on clippy!

The first change is to clear cached `TypeckResults` from `LateContext` when visiting a nested item. I took a hint from [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/5e91c4ecc09312d8b63d250a432b0f3ef83f1df7/compiler/rustc_privacy/src/lib.rs#L1300).

Clippy has a `qpath_res` util function to avoid a possible ICE in `LateContext::qpath_res`. But the docs of `LateContext::qpath_res` promise no ICE. So this updates the `LateContext` method to keep its promises, and removes the util function.
