Cleanup: Use rustc's same_types for our same_tys

This delegates our `same_tys` to [ty::TyS::same_type][same_type] to
remove some duplication.

Our `same_tys` was introduced 4 years ago in #730.

Before, `same_tys` was building an inference context to be able to call
`can_eq` to compare the types. The `rustc-dev-guide` has some more details
about `can_eq` in [Type Inference -> Trying equality][try_eq].

Now, using the rustc function, we are essentially comparing the `DefId`s
of the given types, which also makes more sense, IMO.

I also confirmed that the FIXME is resolved via a bit of `dbg!`, however
no UI tests were affected.
