ast/hir: Rename field-related structures
I always forget what `ast::Field` and `ast::StructField` mean despite working with AST for long time, so this PR changes the naming to less confusing and more consistent.
- `StructField` -> `FieldDef` ("field definition")
- `Field` -> `ExprField` ("expression field", not "field expression")
- `FieldPat` -> `PatField` ("pattern field", not "field pattern")
Various visiting and other methods working with the fields are renamed correspondingly too.
The second commit reduces the size of `ExprKind` by boxing fields of `ExprKind::Struct` in preparation for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/80080.
More precise spans for HIR paths
`Ty::assoc_item` is lowered to `<Ty>::assoc_item` in HIR, but `Ty` got span from the whole path.
This PR fixes that, and adjusts some diagnostic code that relied on `Ty` having the whole path span.
This is a pre-requisite for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/82868 (we cannot report suggestions like `Tr::assoc` -> `<dyn Tr>::assoc` with the current imprecise spans).

StructField -> FieldDef ("field definition")
Field -> ExprField ("expression field", not "field expression")
FieldPat -> PatField ("pattern field", not "field pattern")
Also rename visiting and other methods working on them.
Add a `min_type_alias_impl_trait` feature gate
This new feature gate only permits type alias impl trait to be constrained by function and trait method return types. All other possible constraining sites like const/static types, closure return types and binding types are now forbidden and gated under the `type_alias_impl_trait` and `impl_trait_in_bindings` feature gates (which are both marked as incomplete, as they have various ways to ICE the compiler or cause query cycles where they shouldn't).

Change x64 size checks to not apply to x32.
Rust contains various size checks conditional on target_arch = "x86_64", but these checks were never intended to apply to x86_64-unknown-linux-gnux32. Add target_pointer_width = "64" to the conditions.
Let a portion of DefPathHash uniquely identify the DefPath's crate.
This allows to directly map from a `DefPathHash` to the crate it originates from, without constructing side tables to do that mapping -- something that is useful for incremental compilation where we deal with `DefPathHash` instead of `DefId` a lot.
It also allows to reliably and cheaply check for `DefPathHash` collisions which allows the compiler to gracefully abort compilation instead of running into a subsequent ICE at some random place in the code.
The following new piece of documentation describes the most interesting aspects of the changes:
```rust
/// A `DefPathHash` is a fixed-size representation of a `DefPath` that is
/// stable across crate and compilation session boundaries. It consists of two
/// separate 64-bit hashes. The first uniquely identifies the crate this
/// `DefPathHash` originates from (see [StableCrateId]), and the second
/// uniquely identifies the corresponding `DefPath` within that crate. Together
/// they form a unique identifier within an entire crate graph.
///
/// There is a very small chance of hash collisions, which would mean that two
/// different `DefPath`s map to the same `DefPathHash`. Proceeding compilation
/// with such a hash collision would very probably lead to an ICE and, in the
/// worst case, to a silent mis-compilation. The compiler therefore actively
/// and exhaustively checks for such hash collisions and aborts compilation if
/// it finds one.
///
/// `DefPathHash` uses 64-bit hashes for both the crate-id part and the
/// crate-internal part, even though it is likely that there are many more
/// `LocalDefId`s in a single crate than there are individual crates in a crate
/// graph. Since we use the same number of bits in both cases, the collision
/// probability for the crate-local part will be quite a bit higher (though
/// still very small).
///
/// This imbalance is not by accident: A hash collision in the
/// crate-local part of a `DefPathHash` will be detected and reported while
/// compiling the crate in question. Such a collision does not depend on
/// outside factors and can be easily fixed by the crate maintainer (e.g. by
/// renaming the item in question or by bumping the crate version in a harmless
/// way).
///
/// A collision between crate-id hashes on the other hand is harder to fix
/// because it depends on the set of crates in the entire crate graph of a
/// compilation session. Again, using the same crate with a different version
/// number would fix the issue with a high probability -- but that might be
/// easier said then done if the crates in questions are dependencies of
/// third-party crates.
///
/// That being said, given a high quality hash function, the collision
/// probabilities in question are very small. For example, for a big crate like
/// `rustc_middle` (with ~50000 `LocalDefId`s as of the time of writing) there
/// is a probability of roughly 1 in 14,750,000,000 of a crate-internal
/// collision occurring. For a big crate graph with 1000 crates in it, there is
/// a probability of 1 in 36,890,000,000,000 of a `StableCrateId` collision.
```
Given the probabilities involved I hope that no one will ever actually see the error messages. Nonetheless, I'd be glad about some feedback on how to improve them. Should we create a GH issue describing the problem and possible solutions to point to? Or a page in the rustc book?

Rust contains various size checks conditional on target_arch = "x86_64",
but these checks were never intended to apply to
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnux32. Add target_pointer_width = "64" to the
conditions.
This improves help messages in two cases:
- When expected type is `T` and found type is `&T`, we now look through blocks
and suggest dereferencing the expression of the block, rather than the whole
block.
- In the above case, if the expression is an `&`, we not suggest removing the
`&` instead of adding `*`.
Both of these are demonstrated in the regression test. Before this patch the
first error in the test would be:
error[E0308]: `if` and `else` have incompatible types
--> test.rs:8:9
|
5 | / if true {
6 | | a
| | - expected because of this
7 | | } else {
8 | | b
| | ^ expected `usize`, found `&usize`
9 | | };
| |_____- `if` and `else` have incompatible types
|
help: consider dereferencing the borrow
|
7 | } else *{
8 | b
9 | };
|
Now:
error[E0308]: `if` and `else` have incompatible types
--> test.rs:8:9
|
5 | / if true {
6 | | a
| | - expected because of this
7 | | } else {

| | help: consider dereferencing the borrow: `*b`
9 | | };

The second error:
error[E0308]: `if` and `else` have incompatible types
--> test.rs:14:9
|
11 | / if true {
12 | | 1
| | - expected because of this

| |_____- `if` and `else` have incompatible types

|
13 | } else *{

now:

Fixes#82361
Suggest `return`ing tail expressions that match return type
Some newcomers are confused by the behavior of tail expressions,
interpreting that "leaving out the `;` makes it the return value".
To help them go in the right direction, suggest using `return` instead
when applicable.
When a tail expression isn't unit, we previously always suggested adding
a trailing `;` to turn it into a statement. This suggestion isn't
appropriate for any expression that doesn't have side-effects, as the
user will have likely wanted to call something else or do something with
the resulting value, instead of just discarding it.
ast: Keep expansion status for out-of-line module items
I.e. whether a module `mod foo;` is already loaded from a file or not.
This is a pre-requisite to correctly treating inner attributes on such modules (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/81661).
With this change AST structures for `mod` items diverge even more for AST structure for the crate root, which previously used `ast::Mod`.
Therefore this PR removes `ast::Mod` from `ast::Crate` in the first commit, these two things are sufficiently different from each other, at least at syntactic level.
Customization points for visiting a "`mod` item or crate root" were also removed from AST visitors (`fn visit_mod`).
`ast::Mod` itself was refactored away in the second commit in favor of `ItemKind::Mod(Unsafe, ModKind)`.
name async generators something more human friendly in type error diagnostic
fixes#81457
Some details:
1. I opted to load the generator kind from the hir in TyCategory. I also use 1 impl in the hir for the descr
2. I named both the source of the future, in addition to the general type (`future`), not sure what is preferred
3. I am not sure what is required to make sure "generator" is not referred to anywhere. A brief `rg "\"generator\"" showed me that most diagnostics correctly distinguish from generators and async generator, but the `descr` of `DefKind` is pretty general (not sure how thats used)
4. should the descr impl of AsyncGeneratorKind use its display impl instead of copying the string?
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`.

Crate root is sufficiently different from `mod` items, at least at syntactic level.
Also remove customization point for "`mod` item or crate root" from AST visitors.

This PR extends the language with a new lang item for the `Pointee` trait which is special-cased in trait resolution to implement it for all types. Even in generic contexts, parameters can be assumed to implement it without a corresponding bound.
For this I mostly imitated what the compiler was already doing for the `DiscriminantKind` trait. I’m very unfamiliar with compiler internals, so careful review is appreciated.
This PR also extends the standard library with new unstable APIs in `core::ptr` and `std::ptr`:
```rust
pub trait Pointee {
/// One of `()`, `usize`, or `DynMetadata<dyn SomeTrait>`
type Metadata: Copy + Send + Sync + Ord + Hash + Unpin;
}
pub trait Thin = Pointee<Metadata = ()>;
pub const fn metadata<T: ?Sized>(ptr: *const T) -> <T as Pointee>::Metadata {}
pub const fn from_raw_parts<T: ?Sized>(*const (), <T as Pointee>::Metadata) -> *const T {}
pub const fn from_raw_parts_mut<T: ?Sized>(*mut (),<T as Pointee>::Metadata) -> *mut T {}
impl<T: ?Sized> NonNull<T> {
pub const fn from_raw_parts(NonNull<()>, <T as Pointee>::Metadata) -> NonNull<T> {}
/// Convenience for `(ptr.cast(), metadata(ptr))`
pub const fn to_raw_parts(self) -> (NonNull<()>, <T as Pointee>::Metadata) {}
}
impl<T: ?Sized> *const T {
pub const fn to_raw_parts(self) -> (*const (), <T as Pointee>::Metadata) {}
}
impl<T: ?Sized> *mut T {
pub const fn to_raw_parts(self) -> (*mut (), <T as Pointee>::Metadata) {}
}
/// `<dyn SomeTrait as Pointee>::Metadata == DynMetadata<dyn SomeTrait>`
pub struct DynMetadata<Dyn: ?Sized> {
// Private pointer to vtable
}

pub fn size_of(self) -> usize {}
pub fn align_of(self) -> usize {}
pub fn layout(self) -> crate::alloc::Layout {}
}

```
API differences from the RFC, in areas noted as unresolved questions in the RFC:
* Module-level functions instead of associated `from_raw_parts` functions on `*const T` and `*mut T`, following the precedent of `null`, `slice_from_raw_parts`, etc.
* Added `to_raw_parts`
