tweak "make mut" spans when assigning to locals
Work towards fixing #106857
This PR just cleans up a lot of spans which is helpful before properly fixing the issues. Best reviewed commit-by-commit.

Tweak borrow suggestion span
Avoids a `span_to_snippet` call when we don't need to surround the expression in parentheses. The fact that the suggestion was using the whole span of the expression rather than just appending a `&` was prevented me from using `// run-rustfix` in another PR (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/110432#discussion_r1170500484).
Also some drive-by renames of functions that have been annoying me for a bit.
Fix some suggestions where a `Box<T>` is expected.
This fixes#111011, and also adds a suggestion for boxing a unit type when a `Box<T>` was expected and an empty block was found.
Implement tuple<->array convertions via `From`
This PR adds the following impls that convert between homogeneous tuples and arrays of the corresponding lengths:
```rust
impl<T> From<[T; 1]> for (T,) { ... }
impl<T> From<[T; 2]> for (T, T) { ... }
/* ... */
impl<T> From<[T; 12]> for (T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T) { ... }
impl<T> From<(T,)> for [T; 1] { ... }
impl<T> From<(T, T)> for [T; 2] { ... }
/* ... */
impl<T> From<(T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T)> for [T; 12] { ... }
```
IMO these are quite uncontroversial but note that they are, just like any other trait impls, insta-stable.
My type ascription
Oh rip it out
Ah
If you think we live too much then
You can sacrifice diagnostics
Don't mix your garbage
Into my syntax
So many weird hacks keep diagnostics alive
Yet I don't even step outside
So many bad diagnostics keep tyasc alive
Yet tyasc doesn't even bother to survive!
Substitute missing trait items suggestion correctly
Properly substitute missing item suggestions, so that when they reference generics from their parent trait they actually have the right time for the impl.
Also, some other minor tweaks like using `/* Type */` to signify a GAT's type is actually missing, and fixing generic arg suggestions for GATs in general.
Migrate most of `rustc_builtin_macros` to diagnostic impls
cc #100717
This is a couple of days work, but I decided to stop for now before the PR becomes too big. There's around 50 unresolved failures when `rustc::untranslatable_diagnostic` is denied, which I'll finish addressing once this PR goes thtough
A couple of outputs have changed, but in all instances I think the changes are an improvement/are more consistent with other diagnostics (although I'm happy to revert any which seem worse)
Update `error [E0449]: unnecessary visibility qualifier` to be more clear
This updates the error message `error[E0449]: unnecessary visibility qualifier` by clearly indicating that visibility qualifiers already inherit their visibility from a parent item. The error message previously implied that the qualifiers were permitted, which is not the case anymore.
Resolves#109822.
Make `unused_allocation` lint against `Box::new` too
Previously it only linted against `box` syntax, which likely won't ever be stabilized, which is pretty useless. Even now I'm not sure if it's a meaningful lint, but it's at least something 🤷
This means that code like the following will be linted against:
```rust
Box::new([1, 2, 3]).len();
f(&Box::new(1)); // where f : &i32 -> ()
```
The lint works by checking if a `Box::new` (or `box`) expression has an a borrow adjustment, meaning that the code that first stores the box in a variable won't be linted against:
```rust
let boxed = Box::new([1, 2, 3]); // no lint
boxed.len();
```
Implement -Zlink-directives=yes/no
`-Zlink-directives=no` will ignored `#[link]` directives while compiling a crate, so nothing is emitted into the crate's metadata. The assumption is that the build system already knows about the crate's native dependencies and can provide them at link time without these directives.
This is another way to address issue # #70093, which is currently addressed by `-Zlink-native-libraries` (implemented in #70095). The latter is implemented at link time, which has the effect of ignoring `#[link]` in *every* crate. This makes it a very large hammer as it requires all native dependencies to be known to the build system to be at all usable, including those in sysroot libraries. I think this means its effectively unused, and definitely under-used.
Being able to control this on a crate-by-crate basis should make it much easier to apply when needed.
I'm not sure if we need both mechanisms, but we can decide that later.

diagnostics: remove inconsistent English article "this" from E0107
Consider [`tests/ui/const-generics/generic_const_exprs/issue-102768.stderr`][issue-102768.stderr], the error message where it gives additional notes about where the associated type is defined, and how the dead code lint doesn't have an article, like in [`tests/ui/lint/dead-code/issue-85255.stderr`][issue-85255.stderr]. They don't have articles, so it seems unnecessary to have one here.

Ban associated type bounds in bad positions
We should not try to lower associated type bounds into TAITs in positions where `impl Trait` is not allowed (except for in `where` clauses, like `where T: Trait<Assoc: Bound>`).
This is achieved by using the same `rustc_ast_lowering` machinery as impl-trait does to characterize positions as universal/existential/disallowed.
