transmute: use diagnostic item
closes#66075, we now have no remaining uses of `match_def_path` in the compiler while some uses still remain in `clippy`.

Validate constants during `const_eval_raw`
This PR implements the groundwork for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/72396
* constants are now validated during `const_eval_raw`
* to prevent cycle errors, we do not validate references to statics anymore beyond the fact that they are not dangling
* the `const_eval` query ICEs if used on `static` items
* as a side effect promoteds are now evaluated to `ConstValue::Scalar` again (since they are just a reference to the actual promoted allocation in most cases).
lint/ty: move fns to avoid abstraction violation
This PR moves `transparent_newtype_field` and `is_zst` to `LateContext` where they are used, rather than being on the `VariantDef` and `TyS` types, hopefully addressing @eddyb's concern [from this comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74340#discussion_r456534910).
As a side effect, we now represent most promoteds as `ConstValue::Scalar` again. This is useful because all implict promoteds are just references anyway and most explicit promoteds are numeric arguments to `asm!` or SIMD instructions.
Auto-generate lint documentation.
This adds a tool which will generate the lint documentation in the rustc book automatically. This is motivated by keeping the documentation up-to-date, and consistently formatted. It also ensures the examples are correct and that they actually generate the expected lint. The lint groups table is also auto-generated. See https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/349 for the original proposal.
An outline of how this works:
- The `declare_lint!` macro now accepts a doc comment where the documentation is written. This is inspired by how clippy works.
- A new tool `src/tools/lint-docs` scrapes the documentation and adds it to the rustc book during the build.
- It runs each example and verifies its output and embeds the output in the book.
- It does a few formatting checks.
- It verifies that every lint is documented.
- Groups are collected from `rustc -W help`.
I updated the documentation for all the missing lints. I have also added an "Explanation" section to each lint providing a reason for the lint and suggestions on how to resolve it.
This can lead towards a future enhancement of possibly showing these docs via the `--explain` flag to make them easily accessible and discoverable.
This commit moves `transparent_newtype_field` and `is_zst` to
`LateContext` where they are used, rather than being on the `VariantDef`
and `TyS` types.
