Rollup merge of #104348 - fmease:iat-vis-stab, r=cjgillot

Respect visibility & stability of inherent associated types

As discussed in #103621, this probably won't be the final location of the code that resolves inherent associated types. Still, I think it's valuable to push correctness fixes for this feature (in regards to visibility and stability).

Let me know if I should write a translatable diagnostic instead and if I should move the tests to `privacy/` and `stability-attribute/` respectively.

Fixes #104243.
