Rollup merge of rust-lang#106600 - compiler-errors:no-private-field-ty-err, r=estebank

Suppress type errors that come from private fields

Fixes rust-lang#57320

There was some discussion here (rust-lang#57320 (comment)), but I honestly think the second error is worth suppressing regardless.

I would be open to feedback though -- perhaps we can suppress the `.len()` suggestion if there's type error (since we have access to [`Expectation`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/rustc_hir_typeck/enum.Expectation.html), we can determine that).
