diagnostics: if AssocFn has self argument, describe as method Discussed in https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/147480-t-compiler.2Fwg-diagnostics/topic/.22associated.20function.22.20vs.20.22method.22/near/329265515 This commit also changes the tooltips on rustdoc intra-doc links targeting methods. For anyone not sure why this is being done, see the Reference definitions of these terms in <https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.67.1/reference/items/associated-items.html#methods> > Associated functions whose first parameter is named `self` are called methods and may be invoked using the [method call operator](https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.67.1/reference/expressions/method-call-expr.html), for example, `x.foo()`, as well as the usual function call notation. In particular, while this means it's technically correct for rustc to refer to a method as an associated function (and there are a few cases where it'll still do so), rustc *must never* use the term "method" to refer to an associated function that does not have a `self` parameter. |
