Don't transmute `&List<GenericArg>` <-> `&List<Ty>`
In #93505 we allowed safely transmuting between `&List<GenericArg<'_>>` and `&List<Ty<'_>>`. This was possible because `GenericArg` is a tagged pointer and the tag for types is `0b00`, such that a `GenericArg` with a type inside has the same layout as `Ty`.
While this was meant as an optimization, it doesn't look like it was actually any perf or max-rss win (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/94799#issuecomment-1064340003, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/94841, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/110496#issuecomment-1513799140).
Additionally the way it was done is quite fragile — `unsafe` code was not properly documented or contained in a module, types were not marked as `repr(C)` (making the transmutes possibly unsound). All of this makes the code maintenance harder and blocks other possible optimizations (as an example I've found out about these `transmutes` when my change caused them to sigsegv compiler).
Thus, I think we can safely (pun intended) remove those transmutes, making maintenance easier, optimizations possible, code less cursed, etc.

Add `rustc_fluent_macro` to decouple fluent from `rustc_macros`
Fluent, with all the icu4x it brings in, takes quite some time to compile. `fluent_messages!` is only needed in further downstream rustc crates, but is blocking more upstream crates like `rustc_index`. By splitting it out, we allow `rustc_macros` to be compiled earlier, which speeds up `x check compiler` by about 5 seconds (and even more after the needless dependency on `serde_json` is removed from `rustc_data_structures`).
Switch to `EarlyBinder` for `collect_return_position_impl_trait_in_trait_tys`
Part of the work to finish https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/105779.
This PR adds `EarlyBinder` to the return type of the `collect_return_position_impl_trait_in_trait_tys` query and removes `bound_return_position_impl_trait_in_trait_tys`.

Encode hashes as bytes, not varint
In a few places, we store hashes as `u64` or `u128` and then apply `derive(Decodable, Encodable)` to the enclosing struct/enum. It is more efficient to encode hashes directly than try to apply some varint encoding. This PR adds two new types `Hash64` and `Hash128` which are produced by `StableHasher` and replace every use of storing a `u64` or `u128` that represents a hash.

rustc_metadata: Remove `Span` from `ModChild`
It can be decoded on demand from regular `def_span` tables.
Partially mitigates perf regressions from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/109500.
Fluent, with all the icu4x it brings in, takes quite some time to

crates, but is blocking more upstream crates like `rustc_index`. By
splitting it out, we allow `rustc_macros` to be compiled earlier, which
speeds up `x check compiler` by about 5 seconds (and even more after the
needless dependency on `serde_json` is removed from
`rustc_data_structures`).
Spelling compiler

I'm going to delay performing a squash because I really don't expect people to be perfectly happy w/ my changes, I really am a human and I really do make mistakes.
r? Nilstrieb
I'm going to be flying this evening, but I should be able to squash / respond to reviews w/in a day or two.
I tried to be careful about dropping changes to `tests`, afaict only two files had changes that were likely related to the changes for a given commit (this is where not having eagerly squashed should have given me an advantage), but, that said, picking things apart can be error prone.
Tagged pointers, now with strict provenance!
This is a big refactor of tagged pointers in rustc, with three main goals:
1. Porting the code to the strict provenance
2. Cleanup the code
3. Document the code (and safety invariants) better
This PR has grown quite a bit (almost a complete rewrite at this point...), so I'm not sure what's the best way to review this, but reviewing commit-by-commit should be fine.

Bypass the varint path when encoding InitMask
The data in a `InitMask` is stored as `u64` but it is a large bitmask (not numbers) so varint encoding doesn't make sense.
Various minor Idx-related tweaks
Nothing particularly exciting here, but a couple of things I noticed as I was looking for more index conversions to simplify.

Remove some suspicious cast truncations
These truncations were added a long time ago, and as best I can tell without a perf justification. And with rust-lang/rust#110410 it has become perf-neutral to not truncate anymore. We worked hard for all these bits, let's use them.
Remove `TypeSuper{Foldable,Visitable}` impls for `Region`.
These traits exist so that folders/visitors can recurse into types of interest: binders, types, regions, predicates, and consts. But `Region` is non-recursive and cannot contain other types of interest, so its methods in these traits are trivial.
This commit inlines and removes those trivial methods.

Remove `remap_env_constness` in queries
This removes some of the complexities with const traits. #88119 used to be caused by this but was fixed by `param_env = param_env.without_const()`.
This allows us to get rid of the `rustc_const_eval->rustc_borrowck`
dependency edge which was delaying the compilation of borrowck.
The added utils in `rustc_middle` are small and should not affect
compile times there.
Don't `use rustc_hir as ast`(!)
It makes for confusing code.
This was introduced in a large commit in #67886 that rearranged a lot of `use` statements. I suspect it was an accident.

Switch to `EarlyBinder` for `impl_subject` query
Part of the work to finish https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/105779.
Several queries `X` have a `bound_X` variant that wraps the output in `EarlyBinder`. This adds `EarlyBinder` to the return type of the `impl_subject` query and removes `bound_impl_subject`.

resolve: Pre-compute non-reexport module children
Instead of repeating the same logic by walking HIR during metadata encoding.
The only difference is that we are no longer encoding `macro_rules` items, but we never currently need them as a part of this list. They can be encoded separately if this need ever arises.
`module_reexports` is also un-querified, because I don't see any reasons to make it a query, only overhead.
I'm surprised the compiler doesn't warn about these. It appears having
an `impl` on a struct is enough to avoid a warning about it never being
constructed.
