Permit `asm_const` and `asm_sym` to reference generic params

Related #96557

These constructs will be allowed:
```rust
fn foofoo<const N: usize>() {}

unsafe fn foo<const N: usize>() {
    asm!("/* {0} */", const N);
    asm!("/* {0} */", const N + 1);
    asm!("/* {0} */", sym foofoo::<N>);
}

fn barbar<T>() {}

unsafe fn bar<T>() {
    asm!("/* {0} */", const std::mem::size_of::<T>());
    asm!("/* {0} */", const std::mem::size_of::<(T, T)>());
    asm!("/* {0} */", sym barbar::<T>);
    asm!("/* {0} */", sym barbar::<(T, T)>);
}
```

`@Amanieu,` I didn't switch inline asms to use `DefKind::InlineAsm`, as I see little value doing that; given that no type inference is needed, it will only make typecking slower and more complex but will have no real gains. I did switch them to follow the same code path as inline asm during symbol resolution, though.
The `error: unconstrained generic constant` you mentioned in #76001 is due to the fact that `to_const` will actually add a wfness obligation to the constant, which we don't need for `asm_const`, so I have that removed.

The rustc_ast crate contains those things concerned purely with syntax that is, the AST ("abstract syntax tree"), along with some definitions for tokens and token streams, data structures/traits for mutating ASTs, and shared definitions for other AST-related parts of the compiler (like the lexer and macro-expansion).

For more information about how these things work in rustc, see the rustc dev guide:
