use is_empty() instead of len comparison (clippy::len_zero)
use if let instead of while let loop that never loops (clippy::never_loop)
remove redundant returns (clippy::needless_return)
remove redundant closures (clippy::redundant_closure)
use if let instead of match and wildcard pattern (clippy::single_match)
don't repeat field names redundantly (clippy::redundant_field_names)
Remove spotlight
I had a few comments saying that this feature was at best misunderstood or not even used so I decided to organize a poll about on [twitter](https://twitter.com/imperioworld_/status/1232769353503956994). After 87 votes, the result is very clear: it's not useful. Considering the amount of code we have just to run it, I think it's definitely worth it to remove it.

Rename `libsyntax` to `librustc_ast`
This was the last rustc crate that wasn't following the `rustc_*` naming convention.
Follow-up to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/67763.
We now make `'empty` indexed by a universe index, resulting
in a region lattice like this:
```
static ----------+-----...------+ (greatest)
| | |
early-bound and | |
free regions | |
| | |
scope regions | |
| | |
empty(root) placeholder(U1) |
| / |
| / placeholder(Un)
empty(U1) -- /
| /
... /
| /
empty(Un) -------- (smallest)
```
Therefore, `exists<A> { forall<B> { B: A } }` is now unprovable,
because A must be at least Empty(U1) and B is placeholder(U2), and hence
the two regions are unrelated.
Rustdoc mutability removal
Fixes#67470.
As discussed in another PR, the `clean::Mutability` type in rustdoc is useless. So let's remove it!

Add simpler entry points to const eval for common usages.
I found the `tcx.const_eval` API to be complex/awkward to work with, because of the inherent complexity from all of the different situations it is called from. Though it mainly used in one of the following ways:
- Evaluates the value of a constant without any substitutions, e.g. evaluating a static, discriminant, etc.
- Evaluates the value of a resolved instance of a constant. this happens when evaluating unevaluated constants or normalising trait constants.
- Evaluates a promoted constant.
This PR adds three new functions `const_eval_mono`, `const_eval_resolve`, and `const_eval_promoted` to `TyCtxt`, which each cater to one of the three ways `tcx.const_eval`
is normally used.
Allocate HIR on an arena 1/4
This PR is the first in a series of 4, aiming at allocating the HIR on an arena, as a memory optimisation.
1. This first PR lays the groundwork and migrates some low-hanging fruits.
2. The second PR will migrate `hir::Expr`, `hir::Pat` and related.
3. The third PR will migrate `hir::Ty` and related.
4. The final PR will be dedicated to eventual cleanups.
In order to make the transition as gradual as possible, some lowering routines receive `Box`-allocated data and move it into the arena. This is a bit wasteful, but hopefully temporary.
Nonetheless, special care should be taken to avoid double arena allocations.
