panic_str only exists for the migration to 2021 panic macros
The only caller is `expect_failed`, which is already a cold inline(never) function, so inlining into that function should be fine. (And indeed `panic_str` was `#[inline]` anyway.)
The existence of panic_str risks someone calling it when they should call `panic` instead, and I can't see a reason why this footgun should exist.
I also extended the comment in `panic` to explain why it needs a `'static` string -- I know I've wondered about this in the past and it took me quite a while to understand.
Add support to intrinsics fallback body
Before this fix, the call to `body()` would crash, since `has_body()` would return true, but we would try to retrieve the body of an intrinsic which is not allowed.
Instead, the `Instance::body()` function will now convert an Intrinsic into an Item before retrieving its body.
Note: I also changed how we monomorphize the instance body. Unfortunately, the call still ICE for some shims.

Add methods to create StableMIR constant
I've been experimenting with transforming the StableMIR to instrument the code with potential UB checks.
The modified body will only be used by our analysis tool, however, constants in StableMIR must be backed by rustc constants. Thus, I'm adding a few functions to build constants, such as building string and other primitives.
One question I have is whether we should create a global allocation instead for strings.

`CompilerError` has `CompilationFailed` and `ICE` variants, which seems
reasonable at first. But the way it identifies them is flawed:
- If compilation errors out, i.e. `RunCompiler::run` returns an `Err`,
it uses `CompilationFailed`, which is reasonable.
- If compilation panics with `FatalError`, it catches the panic and uses
`ICE`. This is sometimes right, because ICEs do cause `FatalError`
panics, but sometimes wrong, because certain compiler errors also
cause `FatalError` panics. (The compiler/rustdoc/clippy/whatever just
catches the `FatalError` with `catch_with_exit_code` in `main`.)
In other words, certain non-ICE compilation failures get miscategorized
as ICEs. It's not possible to reliably distinguish the two cases, so
this commit merges them. It also renames the combined variant as just
`Failed`, to better match the existing `Interrupted` and `Skipped`
variants.
Here is an example of a non-ICE failure that causes a `FatalError`
panic, from `tests/ui/recursion_limit/issue-105700.rs`:
```
#![recursion_limit="4"]
#![invalid_attribute]
#![invalid_attribute]
#![invalid_attribute]
#![invalid_attribute]
#![invalid_attribute]
//~^ERROR recursion limit reached while expanding
fn main() {{}}
```
The internal function was unsound, it could cause UB in rare cases where
the user inadvertly stored the returned object in a location that could
outlive the TyCtxt.
In order to make it safe, we now take a type context as an argument to
the internal fn, and we ensure that interned items are lifted using the
provided context.
Thus, this change ensures that the compiler can properly enforce
that the object does not outlive the type context it was lifted to.
I added `tcx` argument to `internal` to force 'tcx to be the same
lifetime as TyCtxt. The only other solution I could think is to change
this function to be `unsafe`.
Simplify the `run` macro to avoid sometimes unnecessary dependency
on `TyCtxt`. Instead, users can use the new internal method `tcx()`.
Additionally, extend the macro to accept closures that may capture
variables.
These are non-backward compatible changes, but they only affect
internal APIs which are provided today as helper functions until we
have a stable API to start the compiler.
This change introduces a new module to StableMIR named `abi` with
information from `rustc_target::abi` and `rustc_abi`, that allow users
to retrieve more low level information required to perform
bit-precise analysis.
The layout of a type can be retrieved via `Ty::layout`, and the instance
ABI can be retrieved via `Instance::fn_abi()`.
To properly handle errors while retrieve layout information, we had
to implement a few layout related traits.
- Remove `fn_sig()` from Instance.
- Change return value of `AssertMessage::description` to `Cow<>`.
- Add assert to instance `ty()`.
- Generalize uint / int type creation.
Fix is_foreign_item for StableMIR instance
Change the implementation of `Instance::is_foreign_item` to directly query the compiler for the instance `def_id` instead of incorrectly relying on the conversion to `CrateItem`. I also added a method to check if the instance has body, since the function already existed and it just wasn't exposed via public APIs. This makes it much cheaper for the user to check if the instance has body.
## Background:
- In pull https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/118524, I fixed the conversion from Instance to CrateItem to avoid the conversion if the instance didn't have a body available. This broke the `is_foreign_item`.

Although, we would like to avoid crashes whenever
possible, and that's why I wanted to make this API fallible. It's
looking pretty hard to do proper validation.
I think many of our APIs will unfortunately depend on the user doing
the correct thing since at the MIR level we are working on,
we expect types to have been checked already.
Add more APIs to retrieve information about types, and add more instance
resolution options.
Make `Instance::body()` return an Option<Body>, since not every instance
might have an available body. For example, foreign instances, virtual
instances, dependencies.
It's not clear to me (klinvill) that UserTypeProjections are produced
anymore with the removal of type ascriptions as per
https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3307. Furthermore, it's not clear
to me which variants of ProjectionElem could appear in such projections.
For these reasons, I'm reverting projections in UserTypeProjections to
simple strings until I can get more clarity on UserTypeProjections.
This commit includes richer projections for both Places and
UserTypeProjections. However, the tests only touch on Places. There are
also outstanding TODOs regarding how projections should be resolved to
produce Place types, and regarding if UserTypeProjections should just
contain ProjectionElem<(),()> objects as in MIR.
The latest locals() method in stable MIR returns slices instead of vecs.
This commit also includes fixes to the existing tests that previously
referenced the private locals field.
