Make it crystal clear what lint `type_alias_bounds` actually signifies
This is part of my work on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/labels/F-lazy_type_alias ([tracking issue](#112792)).
---
To recap, the lint `type_alias_bounds` detects bounds on generic parameters and where clauses on (eager) type aliases. These bounds should've never been allowed because they are currently neither enforced[^1] at usage sites of type aliases nor thoroughly checked for correctness at definition sites due to the way type aliases are represented in the compiler. Allowing them was an oversight.
Explicitly label this as a known limitation of the type checker/system and establish the experimental feature `lazy_type_alias` as its eventual proper solution.
Where this becomes a bit tricky (for me as a rustc dev) are the "secondary effects" of these bounds whose existence I sadly can't deny. As a matter of fact, type alias bounds do play some small roles during type checking. However, after a lot of thinking over the last two weeks I've come to the conclusion (not without second-guessing myself though) that these use cases should not trump the fact that these bounds are currently *inherently broken*. Therefore the lint `type_alias_bounds` should and will continue to flag bounds that may have subordinate uses.
The two *known* secondary effects are:
1. They may enable the use of "shorthand" associated type paths `T::Assoc` (as opposed to fully qualified paths `<T as Trait>::Assoc`) where `T` is a type param bounded by some trait `Trait` which defines that assoc ty.
2. They may affect the default lifetime of trait object types passed as a type argument to the type alias. That concept is called (trait) object lifetime default.
The second one is negligible, no question asked. The first one however is actually "kinda nice" (for writability) and comes up in practice from time to time.
So why don't I just special-case trait bounds that "define" shorthand assoc type paths as originally planned in #125709?
1. Starting to permit even a tiny subset of bounds would already be enough to send a signal to users that bounds in type aliases have been legitimized and that they can expect to see type alias bounds in the wild from now on (proliferation). This would be actively misleading and dangerous because those bounds don't behave at all like one would expect, they are *not real*[^2]!
1. Let's take `type A<T: Trait> = T::Proj;` for example. Everywhere else in the language `T: Trait` means `T: Trait + Sized`. For type aliases, that's not the case though: `T: Trait` and `T: Trait + ?Sized` for that matter do neither mean `T: Trait + Sized` nor `T: Trait + ?Sized` (for both!). Instead, whether `T` requires `Sized` or not entirely depends on the definition of `Trait`[^2]. Namely, whether or not it is bounded by `Sized`.
2. Given `type A<T: Trait<AssocA = ()>> = T::AssocB;`, while `X: Trait` gets checked given `A<X>` (by virtue of projection wfchecking post alias expansion[^2]), the associated type constraint `AssocA = ()` gets dropped entirely! While we could choose to warn on such cases, it would inevitably lead to a huge pile of special cases.
3. While it's common knowledge that the body / aliased type / RHS of an (eager) type alias does not get checked for well-formedness, I'm not sure if people would realize that that extends to bounds as well. Namely, `type A<T: Trait<[u8]>> = T::Proj;` compiles even if `Trait`'s generic parameter requires `Sized`. Of course, at usage sites `[u8]: Sized` would still end up getting checked[^2], so it's not a huge problem if you have full control over `A`. However, imagine that `A` was actually part of a public API and was never used inside the defining crate (not unreasonable). In such a scenario, downstream users would be presented with an impossible to use type alias! Remember, bounds may grow arbitrarily complex and nuanced in practice.
4. Even if we allowed trait bounds that "define" shorthand assoc type paths, we would still need to continue to warn in cases where the assoc ty comes from a supertrait despite the fact that the shorthand syntax can be used: `type A<T: Sub> = T::Assoc;` does compile given `trait Sub: Super {}` and `trait Super { type Assoc; }`. However, `A<X>` does not enforce `X: Sub`, only `X: Super`[^2]. All that to say, type alias bounds are simply not real and we shouldn't pretend they are!
5. Summarizing the points above, we would be legitimizing bounds that are completely broken!
2. It's infeasible to implement: Due to the lack of `TypeckResults` in `ItemCtxt` (and a way to propagate it to other parts of the compiler), the resolution of type-dependent paths in non-`Body` items (most notably type aliases) is not recoverable from the HIR alone which would be necessary because the information of whether an associated type path (projection) is a shorthand is only present pre&in-HIR and doesn't survive HIR ty lowering. Of course, I could rerun parts of HIR ty lowering inside the lint `type_alias_bounds` (namely, `probe_single_ty_param_bound_for_assoc_ty` which would need to be exposed or alternatively a stripped-down version of it). This likely has a performance impact and introduces complexity. In short, the "benefits" are not worth the costs.

* 3rd commit: Update a diagnostic to avoid suggesting type alias bounds
* 4th commit: Flag type alias bounds even if the RHS contains inherent associated types.
* I started to allow them at some point in the past which was not correct (see commit for details)
* 5th commit: Allow type alias bounds if the RHS contains const projections and GCEs are enabled
* (and add a `FIXME(generic_const_exprs)` to be revisited before (M)GCE's stabilization)
* As a matter of fact type alias bounds are enforced in this case because the contained AnonConsts do get checked for well-formedness and crucially they inherit the generics and predicates of their parent item (here: the type alias)
* Remaining commits: Improve the lint `type_alias_bounds` itself

[^1]: From the perspective of the trait solver.
[^2]: Given `type A<T: Trait> = T::Proj;`, the reason why the trait bound "`T: Trait`" gets *seemingly* enforced at usage sites of the type alias `A` is simply because `A<X>` gets expanded to "`<X as Trait>::Proj`" very early on and it's the *expansion* that gets checked for well-formedness, not the type alias reference.
We don't want to have questions in the diagnostic output. Instead, we use wording that communicates uncertainty, like "might":

Remove the `ty` field from type system `Const`s
Fixes#125556Fixes#122908
Part of the work on `adt_const_params`/`generic_const_param_types`/`min_generic_const_exprs`/generally making the compiler nicer. cc rust-lang/project-const-generics#44
Please review commit-by-commit otherwise I wasted a lot of time not just squashing this into a giant mess (and also it'll be SO much nicer because theres a lot of fluff changes mixed in with other more careful changes if looking via File Changes
---
Why do this?
- The `ty` field keeps causing ICEs and weird behaviour due to it either being treated as "part of the const" or it being forgotten about leading to ICEs.
- As we move forward with `adt_const_params` and a potential `min_generic_const_exprs` it's going to become more complex to actually lower the correct `Ty<'tcx>`
- It muddles the idea behind how we check `Const` arguments have the correct type. By having the `ty` field it may seem like we ought to be relating it when we relate two types, or that its generally important information about the `Const`.
- Brings the compiler more in line with `a-mir-formality` as that also tracks the type of type system `Const`s via `ConstArgHasType` bounds in the env instead of on the `Const` itself.
- A lot of stuff is a lot nicer when you dont have to pass around the type of a const lol. Everywhere we construct `Const` is now significantly nicer 😅
See #125671's description for some more information about the `ty` field
---
General summary of changes in this PR:
- Add `Ty` to `ConstKind::Value` as otherwise there is no way to implement `ConstArgHasType` to ensure that const arguments are correctly typed for the parameter when we stop creating anon consts for all const args. It's also just incredibly difficult/annoying to thread the correct `Ty` around to a bunch of ctfe functions otherwise.
- Fully implement `ConstArgHasType` in both the old and new solver. Since it now has no reliance on the `ty` field it serves its originally intended purpose of being able to act as a double check that trait vs impls have correctly typed const parameters. It also will now be able to be responsible for checking types of const arguments to parameters under `min_generic_const_exprs`.
- Add `Ty` to `mir::Const::Ty`. I dont have a great understanding of why mir constants are setup like this to be honest. Regardless they need to be able to determine the type of the const and the easiest way to make this happen was to simply store the `Ty` along side the `ty::Const`. Maybe we can do better here in the future but I'd have to spend way more time looking at everywhere we use `mir::Const`.
- rustdoc has its own `Const` which also has a `ty` field. It was relatively easy to remove this.

r? `@lcnr` `@compiler-errors`
Winnow private method candidates instead of assuming any candidate of the right name will apply
partially reverts https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/60721
My original motivation was just to avoid the `delay_span_bug` (by attempting to thread the `ErrorGuaranteed` through to here). But then I realized that the error message is wrong. It refers to the `Foo<A>::foo` instead of `Foo<B>::foo`. This is almost invisible, because both functions are the same, but on different lines, so `-Zui-testing` makes it so the test is the same no matter which of these two functions is referenced.
But there's a much more obvious bug: If `Foo<B>` does not have a `foo` method at all, but `Foo<A>` has a private `foo` method, then we'll refer to that one. This has now been fixed, and we report a normal `method not found` error.
The way this is done is by creating a list of all possible private functions (just like we create a list of the public functions that can actually be called), and then winnowing it by analyzing where bounds and `Self` types to see if any of the found methods can actually apply (again, just like with the list of public functions).
I wonder if there is room for doing the same thing with unstable functions instead of running all of method resolution twice.

Fixed the `private-dependency` bug
Fixed the private-dependency bug: If the directly dependent crate is loaded last and is not configured with `--extern`, it may be incorrectly set to `private-dependency`
Fixes#122756
The dead_code lint was previously eroneously missing those.
Since this lint bug has been fixed, the unused fields warnings need
to be fixed.
Most of them are marked as `#[allow(dead_code)]`. Other warnings are
fixed by changing visibility of modules.
* The WASI targets deal with the `main` symbol a bit differently than
native so some `codegen` and `assembly` tests have been ignored.
* All `ignore-emscripten` directives have been updated to
`ignore-wasm32` to be more clear that all wasm targets are ignored and
it's not just Emscripten.
* Most `ignore-wasm32-bare` directives are now gone.
* Some ignore directives for wasm were switched to `needs-unwind`
instead.
* Many `ignore-wasm32*` directives are removed as the tests work with
WASI as opposed to `wasm32-unknown-unknown`.
This was caused by 72b172bdf6 in #121206. That commit removed an early
return from `analysis` when there are stashed errors. As a result, it's
possible to reach privacy analysis when there are stashed errors, which
means more code paths can be reached. One such code path was handled in
that commit, where a `span_bug` was changed to a `span_delayed_bug`.
This commit handles another such code path uncovered by fuzzing, in much
the same way.
Fixes#121455.
A refactoring in #117076 changed the `DefIdVisitorSkeleton` to avoid
calling `visit_projection_ty` for `ty::Projection` aliases, and instead
just iterate over the args - this makes sense, as `visit_projection_ty`
will indirectly visit all of the same args, but in doing so, will also
create a `TraitRef` containing the trait's `DefId`, which also gets
visited. The trait's `DefId` isn't visited when we only visit the
arguments without separating them into `TraitRef` and own args first.
