Clean up some lifetimes in `rustc_pattern_analysis`
This PR removes some redundant lifetimes. I figured out that we were shortening the lifetime of an arena-allocated `&'p DeconstructedPat<'p>` to `'a DeconstructedPat<'p>`, which forced us to carry both lifetimes when we could otherwise carry just one.
This PR also removes and elides some unnecessary lifetimes.
I also cherry-picked 0292eb9bb9b897f5c0926c6a8530877f67e7cc9b, and then simplified more lifetimes in `MatchVisitor`, which should make #119233 a very simple PR!

Remove `DiagCtxt` API duplication
`DiagCtxt` defines the internal API for creating and emitting diagnostics: methods like `struct_err`, `struct_span_warn`, `note`, `create_fatal`, `emit_bug`. There are over 50 methods.
Some of these methods are then duplicated across several other types: `Session`, `ParseSess`, `Parser`, `ExtCtxt`, and `MirBorrowckCtxt`. `Session` duplicates the most, though half the ones it does are unused. Each duplicated method just calls forward to the corresponding method in `DiagCtxt`. So this duplication exists to (in the best case) shorten chains like `ecx.tcx.sess.parse_sess.dcx.emit_err()` to `ecx.emit_err()`.
This API duplication is ugly and has been bugging me for a while. And it's inconsistent: there's no real logic about which methods are duplicated, and the use of `#[rustc_lint_diagnostic]` and `#[track_caller]` attributes vary across the duplicates.
This PR removes the duplicated API methods and makes all diagnostic creation and emission go through `DiagCtxt`. It also adds `dcx` getter methods to several types to shorten chains. This approach scales *much* better than API duplication; indeed, the PR adds `dcx()` to numerous types that didn't have API duplication: `TyCtxt`, `LoweringCtxt`, `ConstCx`, `FnCtxt`, `TypeErrCtxt`, `InferCtxt`, `CrateLoader`, `CheckAttrVisitor`, and `Resolver`. These result in a lot of changes from `foo.tcx.sess.emit_err()` to `foo.dcx().emit_err()`. (You could do this with more types, but it gets into diminishing returns territory for types that don't emit many diagnostics.)
After all these changes, some call sites are more verbose, some are less verbose, and many are the same. The total number of lines is reduced, mostly because of the removed API duplication. And consistency is increased, because calls to `emit_err` and friends are always preceded with `.dcx()` or `.dcx`.

Exhaustiveness: Improve complexity on some wide matches
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/118437 revealed an exponential case in exhaustiveness checking. While [exponential cases are unavoidable](https://compilercrim.es/rust-np/), this one only showed up after my https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/117611 rewrite of the algorithm. I remember anticipating a case like this and dismissing it as unrealistic, but here we are :').
The tricky match is as follows:
```rust
match command {
BaseCommand { field01: true, .. } => {}
BaseCommand { field02: true, .. } => {}
BaseCommand { field03: true, .. } => {}
BaseCommand { field04: true, .. } => {}
BaseCommand { field05: true, .. } => {}
BaseCommand { field06: true, .. } => {}
BaseCommand { field07: true, .. } => {}
BaseCommand { field08: true, .. } => {}
BaseCommand { field09: true, .. } => {}
BaseCommand { field10: true, .. } => {}
// ...20 more of the same
_ => {}
}
```
To fix this, this PR formalizes a concept of "relevancy" (naming is hard) that was already used to decide what patterns to report. Now we track it for every row, which in wide matches like the above can drastically cut on the number of cases we explore. After this fix, the above match is checked with linear-many cases instead of exponentially-many.

Make exhaustiveness usable outside of rustc
With this PR, `rustc_pattern_analysis` compiles on stable (with the `stable` feature)! `rust-analyzer` will be able to use it to provide match-related diagnostics and refactors.
Two questions:
- Should I name the feature `nightly` instead of `rustc` for consistency with other crates? `rustc` makes more sense imo.
- `typed-arena` is an optional dependency but tidy made me add it to the allow-list anyway. Can I avoid that somehow?
