Rollup merge of #33325 - birkenfeld:issue-31341, r=jseyfried

typeck: remove confusing suggestion for calling a fn type

* It is not clear what a "base function" is.
* The suggestion just adds parens, so suggests calling without args.

The second point could be fixed with e.g. `(...)` instead of `()`,
but the preceding "note: X is a function, perhaps you wish to call it"
should already be clear enough.

Fixes: #31341
