Remove the lifetime from DiagnosticArgValue.

Because it's almost always static.

This makes `impl IntoDiagnosticArg for DiagnosticArgValue` trivial,
which is nice.

There are a few diagnostics constructed in
`compiler/rustc_mir_build/src/check_unsafety.rs` and
`compiler/rustc_mir_transform/src/errors.rs` that now need symbols
converted to `String` with `to_string` instead of `&str` with `as_str`,
but that' no big deal, and worth it for the simplifications elsewhere.
