Noah Lev 8b75004bca Fix anon const def-creation when macros are involved
Ever since #125915, some `ast::AnonConst`s turn into `hir::ConstArgKind::Path`s,
which don't have associated `DefId`s. To deal with the fact that we don't have
resolution information in `DefCollector`, we decided to implement a process
where if the anon const *appeared* to be trivial (i.e., `N` or `{ N }`), we
would avoid creating a def for it in `DefCollector`. If later, in AST lowering,
we realized it turned out to be a unit struct literal, or we were lowering it
to something that didn't use `hir::ConstArg`, we'd create its def there.

However, let's say we have a macro `m!()` that expands to a reference to a free
constant `FOO`. If we use `m!()` in the body of an anon const (e.g., `Foo<{ m!() }>`),
then in def collection, it appears to be a nontrivial anon const and we create
a def. But the macro expands to something that looks like a trivial const arg,
but is not, so in AST lowering we "fix" the mistake we assumed def collection
made and create a def for it. This causes a duplicate definition ICE.

The ideal long-term fix for this is a bit unclear. One option is to delay def
creation for all expression-like nodes until AST lowering (see #128844 for an
incomplete attempt at this). This would avoid issues like this one that are
caused by hacky workarounds. However, this approach has some downsides as well,
and the best approach is yet to be determined.

In the meantime, this PR fixes the bug by delaying def creation for anon consts
whose bodies are macro invocations until after we expand the macro and know
what is inside it. This is accomplished by adding information to create the
anon const's def to the data in `Resolver.invocation_parents`.
