In "specify type" suggestion, skip type params that are already known
When we suggest specifying a type for an expression or pattern, like in a `let` binding, we previously would print the entire type as the type system knew it. We now look at the params that have *no* inference variables, so they are fully known to the type system which means that they don't need to be specified.
This helps in suggestions for types that are really long, because we can usually skip most of the type params and make the annotation as short as possible:
```
error[E0282]: type annotations needed for `Result<_, ((..., ..., ..., ...), ..., ..., ...)>`
--> $DIR/really-long-type-in-let-binding-without-sufficient-type-info.rs:7:9
|
LL | let y = Err(x);
| ^ ------ type must be known at this point
|
help: consider giving `y` an explicit type, where the type for type parameter `T` is specified
|
LL | let y: Result<T, _> = Err(x);

Highlight clarifying information in "expected/found" error
When the expected and found types have the same textual representation, we add clarifying in parentheses. We now visually highlight it in the output.
Detect a corner case where the clarifying information would be the same for both types and skip it, as it doesn't add anything useful.

Tweak fn pointer suggestion span
Use a more targeted span when suggesting casting an `fn` item to an `fn` pointer.

We could also modify the suggestions for `&(name as fn())`, but for that we require storing more accurate spans than we have now.

Properly check that array length is valid type during built-in unsizing in index
This results in duplicated errors, but this class of errors is not new; in general, we aren't really equipped to detect cases where a WF error due to a field type would be shadowed by the parent struct of that field also not being WF.
This also adds a note for these types of mismatches to make it clear that this is due to an array type.

Rename `Piece::String` to `Piece::Lit`
This renames Piece::String to Piece::Lit to avoid shadowing std::string::String and removes "pub use Piece::*;".
Use identifiers more in diagnostics code
This should make the diagnostics code slightly more correct when rendering idents in mixed crate edition situations. Kinda a no-op, but a cleanup regardless.

Forbid usage of `hir` `Infer` const/ty variants in ambiguous contexts
The feature `generic_arg_infer` allows providing `_` as an argument to const generics in order to infer them. This introduces a syntactic ambiguity as to whether generic arguments are type or const arguments. In order to get around this we introduced a fourth `GenericArg` variant, `Infer` used to represent `_` as an argument to generic parameters when we don't know if its a type or a const argument.
This made hir visitors that care about `TyKind::Infer` or `ConstArgKind::Infer` very error prone as checking for `TyKind::Infer`s in `visit_ty` would find *some* type infer arguments but not *all* of them as they would sometimes be lowered to `GenericArg::Infer` instead.
Additionally the `visit_infer` method would previously only visit `GenericArg::Infer` not *all* infers (e.g. `TyKind::Infer`), this made it very easy to override `visit_infer` and expect it to visit all infers when in reality it would only visit *some* infers.
---
This PR aims to fix those issues by making the `TyKind` and `ConstArgKind` types generic over whether the infer types/consts are represented by `Ty/ConstArgKind::Infer` or out of line (e.g. by a `GenericArg::Infer` or accessible by overiding `visit_infer`). We then make HIR Visitors convert all const args and types to the versions where infer vars are stored out of line and call `visit_infer` in cases where a `Ty`/`Const` would previously have had a `Ty/ConstArgKind::Infer` variant:
API Summary
```rust
enum AmbigArg {}
enum Ty/ConstArgKind<Unambig = ()> {
...
Infer(Unambig),
}
impl Ty/ConstArg {
fn try_as_ambig_ty/ct(self) -> Option<Ty/ConstArg<AmbigArg>>;
}
impl Ty/ConstArg<AmbigArg> {
fn as_unambig_ty/ct(self) -> Ty/ConstArg;
}
enum InferKind {
Ty(Ty),
Const(ConstArg),
Ambig(InferArg),
}
trait Visitor {
...
fn visit_ty/const_arg(&mut self, Ty/ConstArg<AmbigArg>) -> Self::Result;
fn visit_infer(&mut self, id: HirId, sp: Span, kind: InferKind) -> Self::Result;
}
// blanket impl'd, not meant to be overriden
trait VisitorExt {
fn visit_ty/const_arg_unambig(&mut self, Ty/ConstArg) -> Self::Result;
}
fn walk_unambig_ty/const_arg(&mut V, Ty/ConstArg) -> Self::Result;
fn walk_ty/const_arg(&mut V, Ty/ConstArg<AmbigArg>) -> Self::Result;
```
The end result is that `visit_infer` visits *all* infer args and is also the *only* way to visit an infer arg, `visit_ty` and `visit_const_arg` can now no longer encounter a `Ty/ConstArgKind::Infer`. Representing this in the type system means that it is now very difficult to mess things up, either accessing `TyKind::Infer` "just works" and you won't miss *some* type infers- or it doesn't work and you have to look at `visit_infer` or some `GenericArg::Infer` which forces you to think about the full complexity involved.
Unfortunately there is no lint right now about explicitly matching on uninhabited variants, I can't find the context for why this is the case 🤷♀️
I'm not convinced the framing of un/ambig ty/consts is necessarily the right one but I'm not sure what would be better. I somewhat like calling them full/partial types based on the fact that `Ty<Partial>`/`Ty<Full>` directly specifies how many of the type kinds are actually represented compared to `Ty<Ambig>` which which leaves that to the reader to figure out based on the logical consequences of it the type being in an ambiguous position.

Add missing check for async body when suggesting await on futures.
Currently the compiler suggests adding `.await` to resolve some type conflicts without checking if the conflict happens in an async context. This can lead to the compiler suggesting `.await` in function signatures where it is invalid. Example:
```rs
trait A {
fn a() -> impl Future<Output = ()>;
}
struct B;
impl A for B {
fn a() -> impl Future<Output = impl Future<Output = ()>> {
async { async { () } }
}
}
```
```
error[E0271]: expected `impl Future<Output = impl Future<Output = ()>>` to be a future that resolves to `()`, but it resolves to `impl Future<Output = ()>`

```
The documentation of suggest_await_on_expect_found (`compiler/rustc_trait_selection/src/error_reporting/infer/suggest.rs:156`) even mentions such a check but does not actually implement it.
This PR adds that check to ensure `.await` is only suggested within async blocks.
There were 3 unit tests whose expected output needed to be changed because they had the suggestion outside of async. One of them (`tests/ui/async-await/dont-suggest-missing-await.rs`) actually tests that exact problem but expects it to be present.

Use `structurally_normalize` instead of manual `normalizes-to` goals in alias relate errors
r? `@lcnr`
I added `structurally_normalize_term` so that code that is generic over ty or const can use the structurally normalize helpers. See `tests/ui/traits/next-solver/diagnostics/alias_relate_error_uses_structurally_normalize.rs` for a description of the reason for the (now fixed) ICEs
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.*
