Rollup merge of #72066 - lcnr:const-type-info-err, r=varkor

correctly handle uninferred consts

fixes the ICE mentioned in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/70507#issuecomment-615268893

I originally tried to generalize `need_type_info_err` to also work with consts which was not as much fun as I hoped 😅

It might be easier to have some duplication here and handle consts separately.
