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.*

Rework dyn trait lowering to stop being so intertwined with trait alias expansion
This PR reworks the trait object lowering code to stop handling trait aliases so funky, and removes the `TraitAliasExpander` in favor of a much simpler design. This refactoring is important for making the code that I'm writing in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/133397 understandable and easy to maintain, so the diagnostics regressions are IMO inevitable.
In the old trait object lowering code, we used to be a bit sloppy with the lists of traits in their unexpanded and expanded forms. This PR largely rewrites this logic to expand the trait aliases *once* and handle them more responsibly throughout afterwards.

Correctly note item kind in `NonConstFunctionCall` error message
Don't just call everything a "`fn`". This is more consistent with the error message we give for conditionally-const items, which do note the item's def kind.
r? fmease, this is a prerequisite for making those `~const PartialEq` error messages better. Re-roll if you're busy or don't want to review this.
Approved in [ACP 491](https://github.com/rust-lang/libs-team/issues/491).
Remove the `unsafe` on `core::intrinsics::breakpoint()`, since it's a
safe intrinsic to call and has no prerequisites.
(Thanks to @zachs18 for figuring out the `bootstrap`/`not(bootstrap)`
logic.)

This reworks a bit how the diagnostic is generated so that it does the same as #133538
The `help` is useless now so I removed it
Stabilize `extended_varargs_abi_support`
I think that is everything? If there is any documentation regarding `extern` and/or varargs to correct, let me know, some quick greps suggest that there might be none.

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.

Accurately refer to assoc fn without receiver as assoc fn instead of methods.
Add `AssocItem::descr` method to centralize where we call methods and associated functions.

Peel off explicit (or implicit) deref before suggesting clone on move error in borrowck, remove some hacks
Also remove a heck of a lot of weird hacks in `suggest_cloning` that I don't think we should have around.
I know this regresses tests, but I don't believe most of these suggestions were accurate, b/c:
1. They either produced type errors (e.g. turning `&x` into `x.clone()`)
2. They don't fix the issue
3. They fix the issue ostensibly, but introduce logic errors (e.g. cloning a `&mut Option<T>` to then `Option::take` out...)
Most of the suggestions are still wrong, but they're not particularly *less* wrong IMO.
Stacked on top of #128241, which is an "obviously worth landing" subset of this PR.
r? estebank
When encountering a name in an import that could have come from a crate that wasn't imported, use a structured suggestion to suggest `extern crate foo;` pointing at the right place in the crate.
When encountering `_` in an import, do not suggest `extern crate _;`.
