This also now allows promoteds everywhere to point to 'extern static', because why not?
We still check that constants cannot transitively reach 'extern static' through references.
(We allow it through raw pointers.)
Fold pointer operations in GVN
This PR proposes 2 combinations of cast operations in MIR GVN:
- a chain of `PtrToPtr` or `MutToConstPointer` casts can be folded together into a single `PtrToPtr` cast;
- we attempt to evaluate more ptr ops when there is no provenance.
In particular, this allows to read from static slices.
This is not yet sufficient to see through slice operations that use `PtrComponents` (because that's a union), but still a step forward.

static mut: allow mutable reference to arbitrary types, not just slices and arrays
For historical reasons, we allow this:
```rust
static mut ARRAY: &'static mut [isize] = &mut [1];
```
However, we do not allow this:
```rust
static mut INT: &'static mut isize = &mut 1;
```
I think that's terribly inconsistent. I don't care much for `static mut`, but we have to keep it around for backwards compatibility and so we have to keep supporting it properly in the compiler. In recent refactors of how we deal with mutability of data in `static` and `const`, I almost made a fatal mistake since I tested `static mut INT: &'static mut isize = &mut 1` and concluded that we don't allow such `'static` mutable references even inside `static mut`. After all, nobody would expect this to be allowed only for arrays and slices, right?!?? So for the sake of our own sanity, and of whoever else reverse engineers these rules in the future to understand what the Rust compiler accepts or does not accept, I propose that we accept this for all types, not just arrays and slices.
improve normalization of `Pointee::Metadata`
This PR makes it so that `<Wrapper<Tail> as Pointee>::Metadata` is normalized to `<Tail as Pointee>::Metadata` if we don't know `Wrapper<Tail>: Sized`. With that, the trait solver can prove projection predicates like `<Wrapper<Tail> as Pointee>::Metadata == <Tail as Pointee>::Metadata`, which makes it possible to use the metadata APIs to cast between the tail and the wrapper:
```rust
#![feature(ptr_metadata)]
use std::ptr::{self, Pointee};
fn cast_same_meta<T: ?Sized, U: ?Sized>(ptr: *const T) -> *const U
where
T: Pointee<Metadata = <U as Pointee>::Metadata>,
{
let (thin, meta) = ptr.to_raw_parts();
ptr::from_raw_parts(thin, meta)
}
struct Wrapper<T: ?Sized>(T);
fn cast_to_wrapper<T: ?Sized>(ptr: *const T) -> *const Wrapper<T> {
cast_same_meta(ptr)
}
```
Previously, this failed to compile:
```
error[E0271]: type mismatch resolving `<Wrapper<T> as Pointee>::Metadata == <T as Pointee>::Metadata`
--> src/lib.rs:16:5
|
15 | fn cast_to_wrapper<T: ?Sized>(ptr: *const T) -> *const Wrapper<T> {
| - found this type parameter
16 | cast_same_meta(ptr)
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected `Wrapper<T>`, found type parameter `T`
|
= note: expected associated type `<Wrapper<T> as Pointee>::Metadata`
found associated type `<T as Pointee>::Metadata`
= note: an associated type was expected, but a different one was found
```
(Yes, you can already do this with `as` casts. But using functions is so much ✨ *safer* ✨, because you can't change the metadata on accident.)

This PR essentially changes the built-in impls of `Pointee` from this:
```rust
// before
impl Pointee for u8 {
type Metadata = ();
}
impl Pointee for [u8] {
type Metadata = usize;
}
// ...
impl Pointee for Wrapper<u8> {
type Metadata = ();
}
impl Pointee for Wrapper<[u8]> {
type Metadata = usize;
}
// ...
// This impl is only selected if `T` is a type parameter or unnormalizable projection or opaque type.
fallback impl<T: ?Sized> Pointee for Wrapper<T>
where
Wrapper<T>: Sized
{
type Metadata = ();
}
// This impl is only selected if `T` is a type parameter or unnormalizable projection or opaque type.
fallback impl<T /*: Sized */> Pointee for T {
type Metadata = ();
}
```
to this:
```rust
// after
impl Pointee for u8 {
type Metadata = ();
}
impl Pointee for [u8] {
type Metadata = usize;
}
// ...
impl<T: ?Sized> Pointee for Wrapper<T> {
// in the old solver this will instead project to the "deep" tail directly,
// e.g. `Wrapper<Wrapper<T>>::Metadata = T::Metadata`
type Metadata = <T as Pointee>::Metadata;
}
// ...
// This impl is only selected if `T` is a type parameter or unnormalizable projection or opaque type.
fallback impl<T /*: Sized */> Pointee for T {
type Metadata = ();
}
```

Invert diagnostic lints.
That is, change `diagnostic_outside_of_impl` and `untranslatable_diagnostic` from `allow` to `deny`, because more than half of the compiler has been converted to use translated diagnostics.
This commit removes more `deny` attributes than it adds `allow` attributes, which proves that this change is warranted.

various const interning cleanups
After #119044 I noticed that some things can be simplified and refactored.
This is also a requirement for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/116564 as there we'll need to treat the base allocation differently from the others

update indirect structural match lints to match RFC and to show up for dependencies
This is a large step towards implementing https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3535.
We currently have five lints related to "the structural match situation":
- nontrivial_structural_match
- indirect_structural_match
- pointer_structural_match
- const_patterns_without_partial_eq
- illegal_floating_point_literal_pattern
This PR concerns the first 3 of them. (The 4th already is set up to show for dependencies, and the 5th is removed by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/116284.) nontrivial_structural_match is being removed as per the RFC; the other two are enabled to show up in dependencies.
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/73448 by removing the affected analysis.
That is, change `diagnostic_outside_of_impl` and
`untranslatable_diagnostic` from `allow` to `deny`, because more than
half of the compiler has be converted to use translated diagnostics.
This commit removes more `deny` attributes than it adds `allow`
attributes, which proves that this change is warranted.
Because it's almost always static.
This makes `impl IntoDiagnosticArg for DiagnosticArgValue` trivial,
which is nice.
There are a few diagnostics constructed in
`compiler/rustc_mir_build/src/check_unsafety.rs` and
`compiler/rustc_mir_transform/src/errors.rs` that now need symbols
converted to `String` with `to_string` instead of `&str` with `as_str`,
but that' no big deal, and worth it for the simplifications elsewhere.
Error codes are integers, but `String` is used everywhere to represent
them. Gross!
This commit introduces `ErrCode`, an integral newtype for error codes,
replacing `String`. It also introduces a constant for every error code,
e.g. `E0123`, and removes the `error_code!` macro. The constants are
imported wherever used with `use rustc_errors::codes::*`.
With the old code, we have three different ways to specify an error code
at a use point:
```
error_code!(E0123) // macro call
struct_span_code_err!(dcx, span, E0123, "msg"); // bare ident arg to macro call
\#[diag(name, code = "E0123")] // string
struct Diag;
```
With the new code, they all use the `E0123` constant.
```
E0123 // constant
struct_span_code_err!(dcx, span, E0123, "msg"); // constant
\#[diag(name, code = E0123)] // constant
struct Diag;
```
The commit also changes the structure of the error code definitions:
- `rustc_error_codes` now just defines a higher-order macro listing the
used error codes and nothing else.
- Because that's now the only thing in the `rustc_error_codes` crate, I
moved it into the `lib.rs` file and removed the `error_codes.rs` file.
- `rustc_errors` uses that macro to define everything, e.g. the error
code constants and the `DIAGNOSTIC_TABLES`. This is in its new
`codes.rs` file.
