Add the `min_exhaustive_patterns` feature gate
## Motivation
Pattern-matching on empty types is tricky around unsafe code. For that reason, current stable rust conservatively requires arms for empty types in all but the simplest case. It has long been the intention to allow omitting empty arms when it's safe to do so. The [`exhaustive_patterns`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/51085) feature allows the omission of all empty arms, but hasn't been stabilized because that was deemed dangerous around unsafe code.
## Proposal
This feature aims to stabilize an uncontroversial subset of exhaustive_patterns. Namely: when `min_exhaustive_patterns` is enabled and the data we're matching on is guaranteed to be valid by rust's operational semantics, then we allow empty arms to be omitted. E.g.:
```rust
let x: Result<T, !> = foo();
match x { // ok
Ok(y) => ...,
}
let Ok(y) = x; // ok
```
If the place is not guaranteed to hold valid data (namely ptr dereferences, ref dereferences (conservatively) and union field accesses), then we keep stable behavior i.e. we (usually) require arms for the empty cases.
```rust
unsafe {
let ptr: *const Result<u32, !> = ...;
match *ptr {
Ok(x) => { ... }
Err(_) => { ... } // still required
}
}
let foo: Result<u32, &!> = ...;
match foo {
Ok(x) => { ... }
Err(&_) => { ... } // still required because of the dereference
}
unsafe {
let ptr: *const ! = ...;
match *ptr {} // already allowed on stable
}
```
Note that we conservatively consider that a valid reference can point to invalid data, hence we don't allow arms of type `&!` and similar cases to be omitted. This could eventually change depending on [opsem decisions](https://github.com/rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines/issues/413). Whenever opsem is undecided on a case, we conservatively keep today's stable behavior.
I proposed this behavior in the [`never_patterns`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/118155) feature gate but it makes sense on its own and could be stabilized more quickly. The two proposals nicely complement each other.
## Unresolved Questions
Part of the question is whether this requires an RFC. I'd argue this doesn't need one since there is no design question beyond the intent to omit unreachable patterns, but I'm aware the problem can be framed in ways that require design (I'm thinking of the [original never patterns proposal](https://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2018/08/13/never-patterns-exhaustive-matching-and-uninhabited-types-oh-my/), which would frame this behavior as "auto-nevering" happening).
EDIT: I initially proposed a future-compatibility lint as part of this feature, I don't anymore.
pattern_analysis: Reuse most of the `DeconstructedPat` `Debug` impl
The `DeconstructedPat: Debug` is best-effort because we'd need `tcx` to get things like field names etc. Since rust-analyzer has a similar constraint, this PR moves most the impl to be shared between the two. While I was at it I also fixed a nit in the `IntRange: Debug` impl.

Exhaustiveness: simplify empty pattern logic
The logic that handles empty patterns had gotten quite convoluted. This PR simplifies it a lot. I tried to make the logic as easy as possible to follow; this only does logically equivalent changes.
The first commit is a drive-by comment clarification that was requested after another PR a while back.

pat_analysis: Don't rely on contiguous `VariantId`s outside of rustc
Today's pattern_analysis uses `BitSet` and `IndexVec` on the provided enum variant ids, which only makes sense if these ids count the variants from 0. In rust-analyzer, the variant ids are global interning ids, which would make `BitSet` and `IndexVec` ridiculously wasteful. In this PR I add some shims to use `FxHashSet`/`FxHashMap` instead outside of rustc.

`@rustbot` modify labels: rollup
It's incorrect because `CtorSet::split` returns a non-present
constructor into `present` in one specific case: variable-length slices
of an empty type. That's because empty constructors of arity 0 break the
algorithm. This is a tricky corner case that's hard to do cleanly. The
assert wasn't adding much anyway.
Exhaustiveness: Statically enforce revealing of opaques
In https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/116821 it was decided that exhaustiveness should operate on the hidden type of an opaque type when relevant. This PR makes sure we consistently reveal opaques within exhaustiveness. This makes it possible to remove `reveal_opaque_ty` from the `TypeCx` trait which was an unfortunate implementation detail.

`Diagnostic` has 40 methods that return `&mut Self` and could be
considered setters. Four of them have a `set_` prefix. This doesn't seem
necessary for a type that implements the builder pattern. This commit
removes the `set_` prefixes on those four methods.
Clean up some lifetimes in `rustc_pattern_analysis`
This PR removes some redundant lifetimes. I figured out that we were shortening the lifetime of an arena-allocated `&'p DeconstructedPat<'p>` to `'a DeconstructedPat<'p>`, which forced us to carry both lifetimes when we could otherwise carry just one.
This PR also removes and elides some unnecessary lifetimes.
I also cherry-picked 0292eb9bb9b897f5c0926c6a8530877f67e7cc9b, and then simplified more lifetimes in `MatchVisitor`, which should make #119233 a very simple PR!

Remove `DiagCtxt` API duplication
`DiagCtxt` defines the internal API for creating and emitting diagnostics: methods like `struct_err`, `struct_span_warn`, `note`, `create_fatal`, `emit_bug`. There are over 50 methods.
Some of these methods are then duplicated across several other types: `Session`, `ParseSess`, `Parser`, `ExtCtxt`, and `MirBorrowckCtxt`. `Session` duplicates the most, though half the ones it does are unused. Each duplicated method just calls forward to the corresponding method in `DiagCtxt`. So this duplication exists to (in the best case) shorten chains like `ecx.tcx.sess.parse_sess.dcx.emit_err()` to `ecx.emit_err()`.
This API duplication is ugly and has been bugging me for a while. And it's inconsistent: there's no real logic about which methods are duplicated, and the use of `#[rustc_lint_diagnostic]` and `#[track_caller]` attributes vary across the duplicates.
This PR removes the duplicated API methods and makes all diagnostic creation and emission go through `DiagCtxt`. It also adds `dcx` getter methods to several types to shorten chains. This approach scales *much* better than API duplication; indeed, the PR adds `dcx()` to numerous types that didn't have API duplication: `TyCtxt`, `LoweringCtxt`, `ConstCx`, `FnCtxt`, `TypeErrCtxt`, `InferCtxt`, `CrateLoader`, `CheckAttrVisitor`, and `Resolver`. These result in a lot of changes from `foo.tcx.sess.emit_err()` to `foo.dcx().emit_err()`. (You could do this with more types, but it gets into diminishing returns territory for types that don't emit many diagnostics.)
After all these changes, some call sites are more verbose, some are less verbose, and many are the same. The total number of lines is reduced, mostly because of the removed API duplication. And consistency is increased, because calls to `emit_err` and friends are always preceded with `.dcx()` or `.dcx`.

Exhaustiveness: Improve complexity on some wide matches
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/118437 revealed an exponential case in exhaustiveness checking. While [exponential cases are unavoidable](https://compilercrim.es/rust-np/), this one only showed up after my https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/117611 rewrite of the algorithm. I remember anticipating a case like this and dismissing it as unrealistic, but here we are :').
The tricky match is as follows:
```rust
match command {
BaseCommand { field01: true, .. } => {}
BaseCommand { field02: true, .. } => {}
BaseCommand { field03: true, .. } => {}
BaseCommand { field04: true, .. } => {}
BaseCommand { field05: true, .. } => {}
BaseCommand { field06: true, .. } => {}
BaseCommand { field07: true, .. } => {}
BaseCommand { field08: true, .. } => {}
BaseCommand { field09: true, .. } => {}
BaseCommand { field10: true, .. } => {}
// ...20 more of the same
_ => {}
}
```
To fix this, this PR formalizes a concept of "relevancy" (naming is hard) that was already used to decide what patterns to report. Now we track it for every row, which in wide matches like the above can drastically cut on the number of cases we explore. After this fix, the above match is checked with linear-many cases instead of exponentially-many.
