b65fab6299 Move IntoDiagArg earlier in the dependency chains
`rustc_errors` depends on numerous crates, solely to implement its
`IntoDiagArg` trait on types from those crates. Many crates depend on
`rustc_errors`, and it's on the critical path.

We can't swap things around to make all of those crates depend on
`rustc_errors` instead, because `rustc_errors` would end up in
dependency cycles.

Instead, move `IntoDiagArg` into `rustc_error_messages`, which has far
fewer dependencies, and then have most of these crates depend on
`rustc_error_messages`.

This allows `rustc_errors` to drop dependencies on several crates,
including the large `rustc_target`.

(This doesn't fully reduce dependency chains yet, as `rustc_errors`
still depends on `rustc_hir` which depends on `rustc_target`. That will
get fixed in a subsequent commit.)

5d9dfbd08f Stop using String for error codes.
Error codes are integers, but `String` is used everywhere to represent
them. Gross!

This commit introduces `ErrCode`, an integral newtype for error codes,
replacing `String`. It also introduces a constant for every error code,
e.g. `E0123`, and removes the `error_code!` macro. The constants are
imported wherever used with `use rustc_errors::codes::*`.

With the old code, we have three different ways to specify an error code
at a use point:
```
error_code!(E0123)  // macro call

struct_span_code_err!(dcx, span, E0123, "msg");  // bare ident arg to macro call

\#[diag(name, code = "E0123")]  // string
struct Diag;
```

With the new code, they all use the `E0123` constant.
```
E0123  // constant

struct_span_code_err!(dcx, span, E0123, "msg");  // constant

\#[diag(name, code = E0123)]  // constant
struct Diag;
```

The commit also changes the structure of the error code definitions:
- `rustc_error_codes` now just defines a higher-order macro listing the
  used error codes and nothing else.
- Because that's now the only thing in the `rustc_error_codes` crate, I
  moved it into the `lib.rs` file and removed the `error_codes.rs` file.
- `rustc_errors` uses that macro to define everything, e.g. the error
  code constants and the `DIAGNOSTIC_TABLES`. This is in its new
  `codes.rs` file.
