Currently a `{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage` can be created from any type that
impls `Into<String>`. That includes `&str`, `String`, and `Cow<'static,
str>`, which are reasonable. It also includes `&String`, which is pretty
weird, and results in many places making unnecessary allocations for
patterns like this:
```
self.fatal(&format!(...))
```
This creates a string with `format!`, takes a reference, passes the
reference to `fatal`, which does an `into()`, which clones the
reference, doing a second allocation. Two allocations for a single
string, bleh.
This commit changes the `From` impls so that you can only create a
`{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage` from `&str`, `String`, or `Cow<'static,
str>`. This requires changing all the places that currently create one
from a `&String`. Most of these are of the `&format!(...)` form
described above; each one removes an unnecessary static `&`, plus an
allocation when executed. There are also a few places where the existing
use of `&String` was more reasonable; these now just use `clone()` at
the call site.
As well as making the code nicer and more efficient, this is a step
towards possibly using `Cow<'static, str>` in
`{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage::{Str,Eager}`. That would require changing
the `From<&'a str>` impls to `From<&'static str>`, which is doable, but
I'm not yet sure if it's worthwhile.
It partially expands crate attributes before the main expansion pass (without modifying the crate), and the produced preliminary crate attribute list is used for querying a few attributes that are required very early.
Crate-level cfg attributes are then expanded normally during the main expansion pass, like attributes on any other nodes.
Add the `#[derive_const]` attribute
Closes#102371. This is a minimal patchset for the attribute to work. There are no restrictions on what traits this attribute applies to.

This PR will fix some typos detected by [typos].
I only picked the ones I was sure were spelling errors to fix, mostly in
the comments.

If part of a feature is stabilized and a new feature is added for the
remaining parts, then the `implied_by` attribute can be used to indicate
which now-stable feature previously contained a item. If the now-stable
feature is still active (if the user has only just updated rustc, for
example) then there will not be an stability error for uses of the item
from the implied feature.

The very point of compile_error! is to never be reached, and one of
the use cases of the macro, currently also listed as examples in the
documentation of compile_error, is to create nicer errors for wrong
macro invocations. Thus, we shuuld never warn about unused macro arms
that contain invocations of compile_error.
