improve normalization of `Pointee::Metadata`
This PR makes it so that `<Wrapper<Tail> as Pointee>::Metadata` is normalized to `<Tail as Pointee>::Metadata` if we don't know `Wrapper<Tail>: Sized`. With that, the trait solver can prove projection predicates like `<Wrapper<Tail> as Pointee>::Metadata == <Tail as Pointee>::Metadata`, which makes it possible to use the metadata APIs to cast between the tail and the wrapper:
```rust
#![feature(ptr_metadata)]
use std::ptr::{self, Pointee};
fn cast_same_meta<T: ?Sized, U: ?Sized>(ptr: *const T) -> *const U
where
T: Pointee<Metadata = <U as Pointee>::Metadata>,
{
let (thin, meta) = ptr.to_raw_parts();
ptr::from_raw_parts(thin, meta)
}
struct Wrapper<T: ?Sized>(T);
fn cast_to_wrapper<T: ?Sized>(ptr: *const T) -> *const Wrapper<T> {
cast_same_meta(ptr)
}
```
Previously, this failed to compile:
```
error[E0271]: type mismatch resolving `<Wrapper<T> as Pointee>::Metadata == <T as Pointee>::Metadata`
--> src/lib.rs:16:5
|
15 | fn cast_to_wrapper<T: ?Sized>(ptr: *const T) -> *const Wrapper<T> {
| - found this type parameter
16 | cast_same_meta(ptr)
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected `Wrapper<T>`, found type parameter `T`
|
= note: expected associated type `<Wrapper<T> as Pointee>::Metadata`
found associated type `<T as Pointee>::Metadata`
= note: an associated type was expected, but a different one was found
```
(Yes, you can already do this with `as` casts. But using functions is so much ✨ *safer* ✨, because you can't change the metadata on accident.)

This PR essentially changes the built-in impls of `Pointee` from this:
```rust
// before
impl Pointee for u8 {
type Metadata = ();
}
impl Pointee for [u8] {
type Metadata = usize;
}
// ...
impl Pointee for Wrapper<u8> {
type Metadata = ();
}
impl Pointee for Wrapper<[u8]> {
type Metadata = usize;
}
// ...
// This impl is only selected if `T` is a type parameter or unnormalizable projection or opaque type.
fallback impl<T: ?Sized> Pointee for Wrapper<T>
where
Wrapper<T>: Sized
{
type Metadata = ();
}
// This impl is only selected if `T` is a type parameter or unnormalizable projection or opaque type.
fallback impl<T /*: Sized */> Pointee for T {
type Metadata = ();
}
```
to this:
```rust
// after
impl Pointee for u8 {
type Metadata = ();
}
impl Pointee for [u8] {
type Metadata = usize;
}
// ...
impl<T: ?Sized> Pointee for Wrapper<T> {
// in the old solver this will instead project to the "deep" tail directly,
// e.g. `Wrapper<Wrapper<T>>::Metadata = T::Metadata`
type Metadata = <T as Pointee>::Metadata;
}
// ...
// This impl is only selected if `T` is a type parameter or unnormalizable projection or opaque type.
fallback impl<T /*: Sized */> Pointee for T {
type Metadata = ();
}
```
In #119606 I added them and used a `_mv` suffix, but that wasn't great.
A `with_` prefix has three different existing uses.
- Constructors, e.g. `Vec::with_capacity`.
- Wrappers that provide an environment to execute some code, e.g.
`with_session_globals`.
- Consuming chaining methods, e.g. `Span::with_{lo,hi,ctxt}`.
The third case is exactly what we want, so this commit changes
`DiagnosticBuilder::foo_mv` to `DiagnosticBuilder::with_foo`.
Thanks to @compiler-errors for the suggestion.
We have `span_delayed_bug` and often pass it a `DUMMY_SP`. This commit
adds `delayed_bug`, which matches pairs like `err`/`span_err` and
`warn`/`span_warn`.
unify query canonicalization mode
Exclude from canonicalization only the static lifetimes that appear in the param env because of #118965 . Any other occurrence can be canonicalized safely AFAICT.

Cache flags for `ty::Const`
Not sure if this has been attempted yet, but worth a shot. It does make the code simpler in `rustc_type_ir`, since we can assume that consts have a `flags` method that is no-cost.

Remove `PredicateKind::ClosureKind`
We don't need the `ClosureKind` predicate kind -- instead, `Fn`-family trait goals are left as ambiguous, and we only need to make progress on `FnOnce` projection goals for inference purposes.
This is similar to how we do confirmation of `Fn`-family trait and projection goals in the new trait solver, which also doesn't use the `ClosureKind` predicate.
Some hacky logic is added in the second commit so that we can keep the error messages the same.
Most notably, this commit changes the `pub use crate::*;` in that file
to `use crate::*;`. This requires a lot of `use` items in other crates
to be adjusted, because everything defined within `rustc_span::*` was
also available via `rustc_span::source_map::*`, which is bizarre.
The commit also removes `SourceMap::span_to_relative_line_string`, which
is unused.
