Allow dropping dyn principal
Revival of #126660, which was a revival of #114679. Fixes#126313.
Allows dropping principal when coercing trait objects, e.g. `dyn Debug + Send` -> `dyn Send`.

Introduce SolverRelating type relation to the new solver
Redux of #128744.
Splits out relate for the new solver so that implementors don't need to implement it themselves.

add caching to most type folders, rm region uniquification
Fixes the new minimization of the hang in nalgebra and nalgebra itself :3
this is a bit iffy, especially the cache in `TypeRelating`. I believe all the caches are correct, but it definitely adds some non-local complexity in places. The first commit removes region uniquification, reintroducing the ICE from https://github.com/rust-lang/trait-system-refactor-initiative/issues/27. This does not affect coherence and I would like to fix this by introducing OR-region constraints

Allow instantiating object trait binder when upcasting
This PR fixes two bugs (that probably need an FCP).
### We use equality rather than subtyping for upcasting dyn conversions
This code should be valid:
```rust
#![feature(trait_upcasting)]
trait Foo: for<'h> Bar<'h> {}
trait Bar<'a> {}
fn foo(x: &dyn Foo) {
let y: &dyn Bar<'static> = x;
}
```
But instead:
```
error[E0308]: mismatched types
--> src/lib.rs:7:32
|
7 | let y: &dyn Bar<'static> = x;
| ^ one type is more general than the other
|
= note: expected existential trait ref `for<'h> Bar<'h>`
found existential trait ref `Bar<'_>`
```
And so should this:
```rust
#![feature(trait_upcasting)]
fn foo(x: &dyn for<'h> Fn(&'h ())) {
let y: &dyn FnOnce(&'static ()) = x;
}
```
But instead:
```
error[E0308]: mismatched types
--> src/lib.rs:4:39
|
4 | let y: &dyn FnOnce(&'static ()) = x;
| ^ one type is more general than the other
|
= note: expected existential trait ref `for<'h> FnOnce<(&'h (),)>`
found existential trait ref `FnOnce<(&(),)>`
```
Specifically, both of these fail because we use *equality* when comparing the supertrait to the *target* of the unsize goal. For the first example, since our supertrait is `for<'h> Bar<'h>` but our target is `Bar<'static>`, there's a higher-ranked type mismatch even though we *should* be able to instantiate that supertrait binder when upcasting. Similarly for the second example.
### New solver uses equality rather than subtyping for no-op (i.e. non-upcasting) dyn conversions
This code should be valid in the new solver, like it is with the old solver:
```rust
// -Znext-solver
fn foo<'a>(x: &mut for<'h> dyn Fn(&'h ())) {
let _: &mut dyn Fn(&'a ()) = x;
}
```
But instead:
```
error: lifetime may not live long enough
--> <source>:2:11
|
1 | fn foo<'a>(x: &mut dyn for<'h> Fn(&'h ())) {
| -- lifetime `'a` defined here
2 | let _: &mut dyn Fn(&'a ()) = x;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ type annotation requires that `'a` must outlive `'static`
|
= note: requirement occurs because of a mutable reference to `dyn Fn(&())`
```
Specifically, this fails because we try to coerce `&mut dyn for<'h> Fn(&'h ())` to `&mut dyn Fn(&'a ())`, which registers an `dyn for<'h> Fn(&'h ()): dyn Fn(&'a ())` goal. This fails because the new solver uses *equating* rather than *subtyping* in `Unsize` goals.
This is *mostly* not a problem... You may wonder why the same code passes on the new solver for immutable references:
```
// -Znext-solver
fn foo<'a>(x: &dyn Fn(&())) {
let _: &dyn Fn(&'a ()) = x; // works
}
```
That's because in this case, we first try to coerce via `Unsize`, but due to the leak check the goal fails. Then, later in coercion, we fall back to a simple subtyping operation, which *does* work.
Since `&T` is covariant over `T`, but `&mut T` is invariant, that's where the discrepancy between these two examples crops up.

more eagerly discard constraints on overflow
We always discard the results of overflowing goals inside of the trait solver. We previously did so when instantiating the response in `evaluate_goal`. Canonicalizing results only to later discard them is also inefficient 🤷
It's simpler and nicer to debug to eagerly discard constraints inside of the query itself.

Fix `clippy::useless_conversion`
Self-explanatory. Probably the last clippy change I'll actually put up since this is the only other one I've actually seen in the wild.
As our implementation of MCP411 nears completion and we begin to
solicit testing, it's no longer reasonable to expect testers to
type or remember `BikeshedIntrinsicFrom`. The name degrades the
ease-of-reading of documentation, and the overall experience of
using compiler safe transmute.
Tentatively, we'll instead adopt `TransmuteFrom`.
This name seems to be the one most likely to be stabilized, after
discussion on Zulip [1]. We may want to revisit the ordering of
`Src` and `Dst` before stabilization, at which point we'd likely
consider `TransmuteInto` or `Transmute`.

`-Znext-solver` caching
This PR has two major changes while also fixing multiple issues found via fuzzing.
The main optimization is the ability to not discard provisional cache entries when popping the highest cycle head the entry depends on. This fixes the hang in Fuchsia with `-Znext-solver=coherence`.
It also bails if the result of a fixpoint iteration is ambiguous, even without reaching a fixpoint. This is necessary to avoid exponential blowup if a coinductive cycle results in ambiguity, e.g. due to unknowable candidates in coherence.
Updating stack entries pretty much exclusively happens lazily now, so `fn check_invariants` ended up being mostly useless and I've removed it. See https://gist.github.com/lcnr/8de338fdb2685581e17727bbfab0622a for the invariants we would be able to assert with it.
