Rollup merge of #131202 - Urgau:wide-ptrs-compiler, r=jieyouxu 
Use wide pointers consistenly across the compiler

This PR replace every use of "fat pointer" for the more recent "wide pointer" terminology.

Since some time T-lang as preferred the "wide pointer" terminology, as can be seen on [the last RFCs](https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Arust-lang%2Frfcs+%22wide+pointer%22&type=code), on some [lints](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/lints/listing/warn-by-default.html#ambiguous-wide-pointer-comparisons), but also in [the reference](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/reference/expressions/operator-expr.html?highlight=wide%20pointer#pointer-to-pointer-cast).

Currently we have a [mix of both](https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Arust-lang%2Frust+%22wide+pointer%22&type=code) (including in error messages), which isn't great, but with this PR no more.
