Error codes are integers, but `String` is used everywhere to represent them. Gross! This commit introduces `ErrCode`, an integral newtype for error codes, replacing `String`. It also introduces a constant for every error code, e.g. `E0123`, and removes the `error_code!` macro. The constants are imported wherever used with `use rustc_errors::codes::*`. With the old code, we have three different ways to specify an error code at a use point: ``` error_code!(E0123) // macro call struct_span_code_err!(dcx, span, E0123, "msg"); // bare ident arg to macro call \#[diag(name, code = "E0123")] // string struct Diag; ``` With the new code, they all use the `E0123` constant. ``` E0123 // constant struct_span_code_err!(dcx, span, E0123, "msg"); // constant \#[diag(name, code = E0123)] // constant struct Diag; ``` The commit also changes the structure of the error code definitions: - `rustc_error_codes` now just defines a higher-order macro listing the used error codes and nothing else. - Because that's now the only thing in the `rustc_error_codes` crate, I moved it into the `lib.rs` file and removed the `error_codes.rs` file. - `rustc_errors` uses that macro to define everything, e.g. the error code constants and the `DIAGNOSTIC_TABLES`. This is in its new `codes.rs` file. |

The driver crate is effectively the "main" function for the rust
compiler. It orchestrates the compilation process and "knits together"
the code from the other crates within rustc. This crate itself does
not contain any of the "main logic" of the compiler (though it does
have some code related to pretty printing or other minor compiler
options).
For more information about how the driver works, see the rustc dev guide.
