Stabilize `#[diagnostic::do_not_recommend]`
This PR seeks to stabilize the `#[diagnostic::do_not_recommend]`attribute.
This attribute was first proposed as `#[do_not_recommend`] attribute in RFC 2397 (https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2397). It gives the crate authors the ability to not suggest to the compiler to not show certain traits in its error messages.
With the presence of the `#[diagnostic]` tool attribute namespace it was decided to move the attribute there, as that lowers the amount of guarantees the compiler needs to give about the exact way this influences error messages. It turns the attribute into a hint which can be ignored. In addition to the original proposed functionality this attribute now also hides the marked trait in help messages ("This trait is implemented by: ").
The attribute does not accept any argument and can only be placed on trait implementations. If it is placed somewhere else a lint warning is emitted and the attribute is otherwise ignored. If an argument is detected a lint warning is emitted and the argument is ignored. This follows the rules outlined by the diagnostic namespace.
This attribute allows crates like diesel to improve their error messages drastically. The most common example here is the following error message:
```
error[E0277]: the trait bound `&str: Expression` is not satisfied
--> /home/weiznich/Documents/rust/rust/tests/ui/diagnostic_namespace/do_not_recommend.rs:53:15
|
LL | SelectInt.check("bar");
| ^^^^^ the trait `Expression` is not implemented for `&str`, which is required by `&str: AsExpression<Integer>`
|
= help: the following other types implement trait `Expression`:
Bound<T>
SelectInt
note: required for `&str` to implement `AsExpression<Integer>`
--> /home/weiznich/Documents/rust/rust/tests/ui/diagnostic_namespace/do_not_recommend.rs:26:13
|
LL | impl<T, ST> AsExpression<ST> for T
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^
LL | where
LL | T: Expression<SqlType = ST>,
| ------------------------ unsatisfied trait bound introduced here
```
By applying the new attribute to the wild card trait implementation of
`AsExpression` for `T: Expression` the error message becomes:
```
error[E0277]: the trait bound `&str: AsExpression<Integer>` is not satisfied
--> $DIR/as_expression.rs:55:15
|
LL | SelectInt.check("bar");
| ^^^^^ the trait `AsExpression<Integer>` is not implemented for `&str`
|
= help: the trait `AsExpression<Text>` is implemented for `&str`
= help: for that trait implementation, expected `Text`, found `Integer`
```
which makes it much easier for users to understand that they are facing a type mismatch.

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
