3d20fb55 - use Const(T) instead of Type{T} in inference

use Const(T) instead of Type{T} in inference since Type{T} is not a singleton object (Type{T}.parameters[1] !== T) we need to avoid assuming it can be used as a representation of a constant type this change also allows deferring allocation of as many Type{T} objects in the type cache, which is expected to be overall beneficial (independent of fixing the aforementioned bug) this necessitated a change to `associative_with_eltype` to allow inference to prove that the object passed to DT is always the same constant, and not just type-equal to it
