Rollup merge of #129246 - BoxyUwU:feature_gate_const_arg_path, r=cjgillot

Retroactively feature gate `ConstArgKind::Path`

This puts the lowering introduced by #125915 under a feature gate until we fix the regressions introduced by it. Alternative to whole sale reverting the PR since it didn't seem like a very clean revert and I think this is generally a step in the right direction and don't want to get stuck landing and reverting the PR over and over :)

cc #129137 ``@camelid,`` tests taken from there. beta is branching soon so I think it makes sense to not try and rush that fix through since it wont have much time to bake and if it has issues we can't simply revert it on beta.

Fixes #128016
