This PR has several interconnected pieces:
1. In some of the NLL region error code, we now pass
around an `ObligationCause`, instead of just a plain `Span`.
This gets forwarded into `fulfill_cx.register_predicate_obligation`
during error reporting.
2. The general InferCtxt error reporting code is extended to
handle `ObligationCauseCode::BindingObligation`
3. A new enum variant `ConstraintCategory::Predicate` is added.
We try to avoid using this as the 'best blame constraint' - instead,
we use it to enhance the `ObligationCause` of the `BlameConstraint`
that we do end up choosing.
As a result, several NLL error messages now contain the same
"the lifetime requirement is introduced here" message as non-NLL
errors.
Having an `ObligationCause` available will likely prove useful
for future improvements to NLL error messages.
Matthew's work on improving NLL's "higher-ranked subtype error"s
This PR rebases `@matthewjasper's` [branch](https://github.com/matthewjasper/rust/tree/nll-hrtb-errors) which has great work to fix the obscure higher-ranked subtype errors that are tracked in #57374.
These are a blocker to turning full NLLs on, and doing some internal cleanups to remove some of the old region code.
The goal is so `@nikomatsakis` can take a look at this early, and I'll then do my best to help do the changes and followup work to land this work, and move closer to turning off the migration mode.
I've only updated the branch and made it compile, removed a warning or two.

During well-formed checking, we walk through all types 'nested' in
generic arguments. For example, WF-checking `Option<MyStruct<u8>>`
will cause us to check `MyStruct<u8>` and `u8`. However, this is done
on a `rustc_middle::ty::Ty`, which has no span information. As a result,
any errors that occur will have a very general span (e.g. the
definintion of an associated item).
This becomes a problem when macros are involved. In general, an
associated type like `type MyType = Option<MyStruct<u8>>;` may
have completely different spans for each nested type in the HIR. Using
the span of the entire associated item might end up pointing to a macro
invocation, even though a user-provided span is available in one of the
nested types.
This PR adds a framework for HIR-based well formed checking. This check
is only run during error reporting, and is used to obtain a more precise
span for an existing error. This is accomplished by individually
checking each 'nested' type in the HIR for the type, allowing us to
find the most-specific type (and span) that produces a given error.
The majority of the changes are to the error-reporting code. However,
some of the general trait code is modified to pass through more
information.
Since this has no soundness implications, I've implemented a minimal
version to begin with, which can be extended over time. In particular,
this only works for HIR items with a corresponding `DefId` (e.g. it will
not work for WF-checking performed within function bodies).
normalize mir::Constant differently from ty::Const in preparation for valtrees
Valtrees are unable to represent many kind of constant values (this is on purpose). For constants that are used at runtime, we do not need a valtree representation and can thus use a different form of evaluation. In order to make this explicit and less fragile, I added a `fold_constant` method to `TypeFolder` and implemented it for normalization. Normalization can now, when it wants to eagerly evaluate a constant, normalize `mir::Constant` directly into a `mir::ConstantKind::Val` instead of relying on the `ty::Const` evaluation.
In the future we can get rid of the `ty::Const` in there entirely and add our own `Unevaluated` variant to `mir::ConstantKind`. This would allow us to remove the `promoted` field from `ty::ConstKind::Unevaluated`, as promoteds can never occur in the type system.

This currently creates a field which is always false on GenericParamDefKind for future use when
consts are permitted to have defaults
Update const_generics:default locations
Previously just ignored them, now actually do something about them.
Fix using type check instead of value
Add parsing
This adds all the necessary changes to lower const-generics defaults from parsing.
Change P<Expr> to AnonConst
This matches the arguments passed to instantiations of const generics, and makes it specific to
just anonymous constants.
Attempt to fix lowering bugs
Ensure valid TraitRefs are created for GATs
This fixes `ProjectionTy::trait_ref` to use the correct substs. Places that need all of the substs have been updated to not use `trait_ref`.

The information logged here is of limited general interest, while at the
same times makes it impractical to simply enable logging and share the
resulting logs due to the amount of the output produced.
Reduce log level from info to debug for developer oriented information.
For example, when building cargo, this reduces the amount of logs
generated by `RUSTC_LOG=info cargo build` from 265 MB to 79 MB.
Continuation of changes from 81350.
