 Fix #16008 with a pinch of addConsistencyConstraints

 Summary:
 #16008 happened because we forgot to typecheck nullary
 associated type family instances in a way that's consistent with the
 type variables bound by the parent class. Oops. Easily fixed with a
 use of `checkConsistencyConstraints`.

 Test Plan: make test TEST=T16008
