Preserve `SyntaxContext` for invalid/dummy spans in crate metadata

Fixes #85197

We already preserved the `SyntaxContext` for invalid/dummy spans in the
incremental cache, but we weren't doing the same for crate metadata.
If an invalid (lo/hi from different files) span is written to the
incremental cache, we will decode it with a 'dummy' location, but keep
the original `SyntaxContext`. Since the crate metadata encoder was only
checking for `DUMMY_SP` (dummy location + root `SyntaxContext`),
the metadata encoder would treat it as a normal span, encoding the
`SyntaxContext`. As a result, the final span encoded to the metadata
would change across sessions, even if the crate itself was unchanged.

This could lead to an 'unstable fingerprint' ICE under the following conditions:
1. We compile a crate with an invalid span using incremental compilation. The metadata encoder discards the `SyntaxContext` since the span is invalid, while the incremental cache encoder preserves the `SyntaxContext`
2. From another crate, we execute a foreign query, decoding the invalid span from the metadata as `DUMMY_SP` (e.g. with `SyntaxContext::root()`). This span gets hashed into the query fingerprint. So far, this has always happened through the `optimized_mir` query.
3. We recompile the first crate using our populated incremental cache, without changing anything. We load the (previously) invalid span from our incremental cache - it gets converted to a span with a dummy (but valid) location, along with the original `SyntaxContext`. This span gets written out to the crate metadata - since it now has a valid location, we preserve its `SyntaxContext`.
4. We recompile the second crate, again using a populated incremental cache. We now re-run the foreign query `optimized_mir` - the foreign crate hash is unchanged, but we end up decoding a different span (it now ha a non-root `SyntaxContext`). This results in the fingerprint changing, resulting in an ICE.

This PR updates our encoding of spans in the crate metadata to mirror
the encoding of spans into the incremental cache. We now always encode a
`SyntaxContext`, and encode location information for spans with a
non-dummy location.
