8569: Support inherent impls in unnamed consts r=jonas-schievink a=jonas-schievink

It turns out that some proc. macros not only generate *trait* impls wrapped in `const _: () = { ... };`, but inherent impls too. Even though it is questionable whether *custom derives* should produce non-trait impls, this is useful for procedural attribute macros once we support them.
