Safe Transmute: Compute transmutability from `rustc_target::abi::Layout`
In its first step of computing transmutability, `rustc_transmutability` constructs a byte-level representation of type layout (`Tree`). Previously, this representation was computed for ADTs by inspecting the ADT definition and performing our own layout computations. This process was error-prone, verbose, and limited our ability to analyze many types (particularly default-repr types).
In this PR, we instead construct `Tree`s from `rustc_target::abi::Layout`s. This helps ensure that layout optimizations are reflected our analyses, and increases the kinds of types we can now analyze, including:
- default repr ADTs
- transparent unions
- `UnsafeCell`-containing types
Overall, this PR expands the expressvity of `rustc_transmutability` to be much closer to the transmutability analysis performed by miri. Future PRs will work to close the remaining gaps (e.g., support for `Box`, raw pointers, `NonZero*`, coroutines, etc.).

Add `tag_for_variant` query
This query allows for sharing code between `rustc_const_eval` and `rustc_transmutability`. It's a precursor to a PR I'm working on to entirely replace the bespoke layout computations in `rustc_transmutability`.
r? `@compiler-errors`
We can (and will) support analyzing the transmutability of types
whose layouts aren't completely specified by its repr. This change
ensures that the error messages remain sensible after this support
lands.
The source referent absolutely must be smaller than the destination
referent of a ref-to-ref transmute; the excess bytes referenced
cannot arise from thin air, even if those bytes are uninitialized.
That is, change `diagnostic_outside_of_impl` and
`untranslatable_diagnostic` from `allow` to `deny`, because more than
half of the compiler has be converted to use translated diagnostics.
This commit removes more `deny` attributes than it adds `allow`
attributes, which proves that this change is warranted.
- Sort dependencies and features sections.
- Add `tidy` markers to the sorted sections so they stay sorted.
- Remove empty `[lib`] sections.
- Remove "See more keys..." comments.
Excluded files:
- rustc_codegen_{cranelift,gcc}, because they're external.

Safe Transmute: Fix ICE (due to UnevaluatedConst)
This patch updates the code that looks at the `Assume` type when evaluating if transmutation is possible. An ICE was being triggered in the case that the `Assume` parameter contained an unevaluated const (in this test case, due to a function with missing parameter names).
Fixes#110892

`Assume` parameter contained an unevaluated const (in this test case, due to a
function with missing parameter names).
Fixes#110892
- Create `Answer` type that is not just a type alias of `Result`
- Remove a usage of `map_layouts` to make the code easier to read
- Don't hide errors related to Unknown Layout when computing transmutability
- Change `Condition` to not contain `Answer`s but instead just contain other
`Condition`s directly.
- Also improve error reporting for `DstHasStricterAlignment`
- Only create dst -> src obligation if Dst is mutable
- Add some long comments to explain parts of the transmutability code that were
unclear to me when reading
- Update/add tests
- Make sure that the most specific Reason is the one that bubbles up when we
are folding over the `Answer` tree. `Reason::DstIsBitIncompatible` is the
least specific, so that should be used only when there isn't anything else
available.
- Small fixes where we used the wrong Reason variant.
- Tiny cleanups
This patch updates the `Answer` type from `rustc_transmute` so that it just a
type alias to `Result`. This makes it so that the standard methods for `Result`
can be used to process the `Answer` tree, including being able to make use of
the `?` operator on `Answer`s.
Also, remove some unused functions
This patch enables support for references in Safe Transmute, by generating
nested obligations during trait selection. Specifically, when we call
`confirm_transmutability_candidate(...)`, we now recursively traverse the
`rustc_transmute::Answer` tree and create obligations for all the `Answer`
variants, some of which include multiple nested `Answer`s.
Also, to handle recursive types, enable support for coinduction for the Safe
Transmute trait (`BikeshedIntrinsicFrom`) by adding the `#[rustc_coinduction]`
annotation.
Also fix some small logic issues when reducing the `or` and `and` combinations
in `rustc_transmute`, so that we don't end up with additional redundant
`Answer`s in the tree.

This patch updates the error reporting when Safe Transmute is not
possible between 2 types by including the reason.
Also, fix some small bugs that occur when computing the `Answer` for
transmutability.
