SI-7126 Account for the alias types that don't dealias.

After this change:

    qbin/scalac -Ydebug test/files/pos/t7126.scala 2>&1 | grep warning
    warning: dropExistential did not progress dealiasing Test.this.T[Test.this.T], see SI-7126
    one warning found

T[T]? Really? The true bug lies somewhere else; the comments of
the ticket illuminate the general areas of concern.
