test. I forgot to remove this line or possibly lost its removal while

Make `ptr_cast_add_auto_to_object` lint into hard error
In Rust 1.81, we added a FCW lint (including linting in dependencies) against pointer casts that add an auto trait to dyn bounds. This was part of work making casts of pointers involving trait objects stricter, and was part of the work needed to restabilize trait upcasting.
We considered just making this a hard error, but opted against it at that time due to breakage found by crater. This breakage was mostly due to the `anymap` crate which has been a persistent problem for us.
It's now a year later, and the fact that this is not yet a hard error is giving us pause about stabilizing arbitrary self types and `derive(CoercePointee)`. So let's see about making a hard error of this.

The SCCs of the region graph are not a reliable heuristic to use for blaming an interesting
constraint for diagnostics. For region errors, if the outlived region is `'static`, or the involved
types are invariant in their lifetiems, there will be cycles in the constraint graph containing both
the target region and the most interesting constraints to blame. To get better diagnostics in these
cases, this commit removes that heuristic.
Remove the "which is required by `{root_obligation}`" post-script in
"the trait `X` is not implemented for `Y`" explanation in E0277. This
information is already conveyed in the notes explaining requirements,
making it redundant while making the text (particularly in labels)
harder to read.

This changes the remaining span for the cast, because the new `Cast`
category has a higher priority (lower `Ord`) than the old `Coercion`
category, so we no longer report the region error for the "unsizing"
coercion from `*const Trait` to itself.
The main `arbitrary_self_types` feature gate will shortly be reused for
a new version of arbitrary self types which we are amending per [this
RFC](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/3519-arbitrary-self-types-v2.md).
The main amendments are:
* _do_ support `self` types which can't safely implement `Deref`
* do _not_ support generic `self` types
* do _not_ support raw pointers as `self` types.
This PR relates to the last of those bullet points: this strips pointer
support from the current `arbitrary_self_types` feature.
We expect this to cause some amount of breakage for crates using this
unstable feature to allow raw pointer self types. If that's the case, we
want to know about it, and we want crate authors to know of the upcoming
changes.
For now, this can be resolved by adding the new
`arbitrary_self_types_pointers` feature to such crates. If we determine
that use of raw pointers as self types is common, then we may maintain
that as an unstable feature even if we come to stabilize the rest of the
`arbitrary_self_types` support in future. If we don't hear that this PR
is causing breakage, then perhaps we don't need it at all, even behind
an unstable feature gate.
[Tracking issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44874)
This is [step 4 of the plan outlined here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44874#issuecomment-2122179688)
The rules for casting `*mut X<dyn A>` -> `*mut Y<dyn B>` are as follows:
- If `B` has a principal
- `A` must have exactly the same principal (including generics)
- Auto traits of `B` must be a subset of autotraits in `A`
Note that `X<_>` and `Y<_>` can be identity, or arbitrary structs with last field being the dyn type.
The lifetime of the trait object itself (`dyn ... + 'a`) is not checked.
This prevents a few soundness issues with `#![feature(arbitrary_self_types)]` and trait upcasting.
Namely, these checks make sure that vtable is always valid for the pointee.
