Overhaul rustc_codegen_ssa:🔙:write::Diagnostic.

- Make it more closely match `rustc_errors::Diagnostic`, by making the
  field names match, and adding `children`, which requires adding
  `rustc_codegen_ssa:🔙:write::Subdiagnostic`.
- Check that we aren't missing important info when converting
  diagnostics.
- Add better comments.
- Tweak `rustc_errors::Diagnostic::replace_args` so that we don't need
  to do any cloning when converting diagnostics.
