Add simple markdown formatting to `rustc --explain` output
This is a second attempt at #104540, which is #63128 without dependencies.
This PR adds basic markdown formatting to `rustc --explain` output when available. Currently, the output just displays raw markdown: this works of course, but it really doesn't look very elegant. (output is `rustc --explain E0038`)

After this patch, sample output from the same file:

This also obeys the `--color always/auto/never` command option. Behavior:
- If pager is available and supports color, print with formatting to the pager
- If pager is not available or fails print with formatting to stdout - otherwise without formatting
- Follow `--color always/never` if suppied
- If everything fails, just print plain text to stdout

add `ecx.probe_candidate`
Not yet changing the candidate source to an enum because that would be more involved, but this by itself should already be a significant improvement imo

Replace `mk_const` with `Const::new_x` methods
Part of rust-lang/compiler-team#616. Instead of just havign `Const::new(` and nothing else I did it like this since this is more like how the `mk_x` works for `Ty`, and also another PR of mine will require changing from `Const::new(` to `Const::new_x(` anyway.

implement `ConstEvaluatable` goals in new solver
this only supports stable const generics. `feature(generic_const_exprs)` needs to extend that function is non-trivial ways. Leaving this for someone else or some later date.

add flag for enabling global cache usage for proof trees and printing proof trees on error
This adds a few new things:
- `-Zdump-solver-proof-tree=always/never/on-error`
- `always`/`never` were previosuly specifiable by whether the flag exists or not, th new flag is `on_error` which reruns obligations of fulfillment and selection errors with proof tree generation enabled and prints them out
- `-Zdump-solver-proof-tree-uses-cache`
- allows forcing global cache to be used or unused for all generated proof trees, global cache is enabled by default for `always` so that it accurately represents what happend. This flag currently would affect misc uses of `GenerateProofTree::Yes` which will be added in the future for things like diagnostics logic and rustdoc's auto_trait file. We can fix this when we start using proof tree generation for those use cases if it's desirable.
I also changed the output to go straight to stdout instead of going through `debug!` so that `-Zdump-solver-proof-tree` can be adequately used on `nightly` not just a locally built toolchain.
The idea for `on-error` is that it should hopefully make it easier to quickly figure out "why doesnt this code compile"- you just pass in `-Zdump-solver-proof-tree=on-error` and you'll only get proof trees you care about.

Update platform-support.md to improve ARM target descriptions
Updates the descriptions of the various ARM targets in platform-support.md so they are a little more consistent.
For example, all instances of ARMv7 are changed to ARMv7-A (as opposed to ARMv7-R and ARMv7-M). I also remove the Cortex-Mx CPUs on the thumbv6/7m targets, as most of the other targets refer only to CPU architectures and not specific CPUs (and the list was missing on thumbv8m anyway, so this is more consistent).
`assemble_candidates_after_normalizing_self_ty` docs
I already explained that in different places a few times, should have added that explanation as a doc comment the first time I did so :3
