HIR ty lowering: Clean up & refactor the lowering of type-relative paths
While rebasing #126651 I realized that HIR ty lowering could benefit from some *spring cleaning* now that it's been extended to handle RTN and mGCA paths.
More seriously, similar to my merged PR #118668 which unified the handling of all *associated item constraints* (assoc ty, const (ACE) & fn (RTN)), this PR (commit 695fcf517d) partially[^1] deduplicates the resolution code for all *type-relative paths* (assoc ty, const (mGCA) & fn (RTN)).
**Why**? DRY'ing that part of the code means PR #126651 will automatically support RTN paths like `Ty::AssocTy::assoc_fn(..)` and it also implies shared diagnostic code and thus better diagnostics for RTN.
---
The other commits represent cleanups, renamings, moves. More notably, I've renamed path lowering methods to be a lot more descriptive, so ones lowering `QPath(Resolved)` paths now have `_resolved_` in their name and ones lowering `QPath(TypeRelative)` paths now have `_type_relative_` in their name. This should make it stupidly obvious what their purpose is.

Best reviewed commit by commit. The changes are close to trivial but the diff might make it look hairier.
r? compiler-errors
[^1]: Sadly, I couldn't unify as much compared to the other PR without introducing unnecessary `unreachable!()`s or rendering the code otherwise illegible with flags and micro helper traits.
Introduce `feature(generic_const_parameter_types)`
Allows to define const generic parameters whose type depends on other generic parameters, e.g. `Foo<const N: usize, const ARR: [u8; N]>;`
Wasn't going to implement for this for a while until we could implement it with `bad_inference.rs` resolved but apparently the project simd folks would like to be able to use this for some intrinsics and the inference issue isn't really a huge problem there aiui. (cc ``@workingjubilee`` )

remove `#[rustc_intrinsic_must_be_overridde]`
In https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/135031, we gained support for just leaving away the body. Now that the bootstrap compiler got bumped, stop using the old style and remove support for it.

There are a few more mentions of this attribute in RA code that I didn't touch; Cc `@rust-lang/rust-analyzer`
After the stabilization PR was opened, `extern "system"` functions were
added to `extended_varargs_abi_support`. This has a number of questions
regarding it that were not discussed and were somewhat surprising.
It deserves to be considered as its own feature, separate from
`extended_varargs_abi_support`.

- duplicates of crateresolve1 are used in a couple error-codes tests
- also fix the note in crateresolve1 to link to these other duplicates,
now that E0523 has been merged into E0464
Reword resolve errors caused by likely missing crate in dep tree
Reword label and add `help`:
```
error[E0432]: unresolved import `some_novel_crate`
--> f704.rs:1:5
|
1 | use some_novel_crate::Type;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ use of unresolved module or unlinked crate `some_novel_crate`
|
= help: if you wanted to use a crate named `some_novel_crate`, use `cargo add some_novel_crate` to add it to your `Cargo.toml`
```
Fix#133137.
```

--> file.rs:1:5

```
On resolve errors where there might be a missing crate, mention `cargo add foo`:
```

This CL makes a number of small changes to dyn compatibility errors:
- "object safety" has been renamed to "dyn-compatibility" throughout
- "Convert to enum" suggestions are no longer generated when there
exists a type-generic impl of the trait or an impl for `dyn OtherTrait`
- Several error messages are reorganized for user readability
Additionally, the dyn compatibility error creation code has been
split out into functions.

remove support for the (unstable) #[start] attribute
As explained by `@Noratrieb:`
`#[start]` should be deleted. It's nothing but an accidentally leaked implementation detail that's a not very useful mix between "portable" entrypoint logic and bad abstraction.
I think the way the stable user-facing entrypoint should work (and works today on stable) is pretty simple:
- `std`-using cross-platform programs should use `fn main()`. the compiler, together with `std`, will then ensure that code ends up at `main` (by having a platform-specific entrypoint that gets directed through `lang_start` in `std` to `main` - but that's just an implementation detail)
- `no_std` platform-specific programs should use `#![no_main]` and define their own platform-specific entrypoint symbol with `#[no_mangle]`, like `main`, `_start`, `WinMain` or `my_embedded_platform_wants_to_start_here`. most of them only support a single platform anyways, and need cfg for the different platform's ways of passing arguments or other things *anyways*
`#[start]` is in a super weird position of being neither of those two. It tries to pretend that it's cross-platform, but its signature is a total lie. Those arguments are just stubbed out to zero on ~~Windows~~ wasm, for example. It also only handles the platform-specific entrypoints for a few platforms that are supported by `std`, like Windows or Unix-likes. `my_embedded_platform_wants_to_start_here` can't use it, and neither could a libc-less Linux program.
So we have an attribute that only works in some cases anyways, that has a signature that's a total lie (and a signature that, as I might want to add, has changed recently, and that I definitely would not be comfortable giving *any* stability guarantees on), and where there's a pretty easy way to get things working without it in the first place.
Note that this feature has **not** been RFCed in the first place.
*This comment was posted [in May](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/29633#issuecomment-2088596042) and so far nobody spoke up in that issue with a usecase that would require keeping the attribute.*
