"no method" errors on standard library types
The standard library developer can annotate methods on e.g.
`BTreeSet::push` with `#[rustc_confusables("insert")]`. When the user
mistypes `btreeset.push()`, `BTreeSet::insert` will be suggested if
there are no other candidates to suggest.
This is done to simplify to relationship between names() and values()
but also make thing clearer (having an Any to represent that any values
are allowed) but also to allow the (none) + values expected cases that
wasn't possible before.
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.
Convert all the crates that have had their diagnostic migration
completed (except save_analysis because that will be deleted soon and
apfloat because of the licensing problem).
This attribute allows to mark default body of a trait function as
unstable. This means that implementing the trait without implementing
the function will require enabling unstable feature.
This is useful in conjunction with `#[rustc_must_implement_one_of]`,
we may want to relax requirements for a trait, for example allowing
implementing either of `PartialEq::{eq, ne}`, but do so in a safe way
-- making implementation of only `PartialEq::ne` unstable.
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.

When an unexpected meta item is provided to `#[stable]`, the diagnostic
lists "since" and "note" as expected meta-items, however the surrounding
code actually expects "feature" and "since".
