Simplify intra-crate qualifiers.
The following is a weird pattern for a file within `rustc_middle`:
```
use rustc_middle::aaa;
use crate::bbb;
```
More sensible and standard would be this:
```
use crate::{aaa, bbb};
```
I.e. we generally prefer using `crate::` to using a crate's own name. (Exceptions are things like in macros where `crate::` doesn't work because the macro is used in multiple crates.)
This commit fixes a bunch of these weird qualifiers.

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.

Make comma separated lists of anything easier to make for errors
Provide a new function `listify`, meant to be used in cases similar to `pluralize!`. When you have a slice of arbitrary elements that need to be presented to the user, `listify` allows you to turn that into a list of comma separated strings.
This reduces a lot of redundant logic that happens often in diagnostics.

Make it so more type-system types can be printed in a shortened version (like `Predicate`s).
Centralize printing the information about the "full type name path".
Make the "long type path" for the file where long types are written part of `Diag`, so that it becomes easier to keep track of it, and ensure it will always will be printed out last in the diagnostic by making its addition to the output implicit.
Tweak the shortening of types in "expected/found" labels.
Remove dead file `note.rs`.

Fix logical error with what text is considered whitespace.
There appears to be a logical issue around what counts as leading white-space. There is code which does a subtraction assuming that no errors will be reported inside the leading whitespace. However we compute the length of that whitespace with std::char::is_whitespace and not rustc_lexer::is_whitespace. The former will include a no-break space while later will excluded it. We can only safely make the assumption that no errors will be reported in whitespace if it is all "Rust Standard" whitespace. Indeed an error does occur in unicode whitespace if it contains a no-break space. In that case the subtraction will cause a ICE (for a compiler in debug mode) as described in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/132918.
Re-export more `rustc_span::symbol` things from `rustc_span`.
`rustc_span::symbol` defines some things that are re-exported from `rustc_span`, such as `Symbol` and `sym`. But it doesn't re-export some closely related things such as `Ident` and `kw`. So you can do `use rustc_span::{Symbol, sym}` but you have to do `use rustc_span::symbol::{Ident, kw}`, which is inconsistent for no good reason.
This commit re-exports `Ident`, `kw`, and `MacroRulesNormalizedIdent`, and changes many `rustc_span::symbol::` qualifiers to `rustc_span::`. This is a 300+ net line of code reduction, mostly because many files with two `use rustc_span` items can be reduced to one.

Tweak multispan rendering to reduce output length
Consider comments and bare delimiters the same as an "empty line" for purposes of hiding rendered code output of long multispans. This results in more aggressive shortening of rendered output without losing too much context, specially in `*.stderr` tests that have "hidden" comments. We do that check not only on the first 4 lines of the multispan, but now also on the previous to last line as well.

suppress field expr with generics error message if it's a method
Don't emit "field expressions may not have generic arguments" if it's a method call without `()`

Is this the best way to go? It's by far the simplest I could come up with.
Delete the `cfg(not(parallel))` serial compiler
Since it's inception a long time ago, the parallel compiler and its cfgs have been a maintenance burden. This was a necessary evil the allow iteration while not degrading performance because of synchronization overhead.
But this time is over. Thanks to the amazing work by the parallel working group (and the dyn sync crimes), the parallel compiler has now been fast enough to be shipped by default in nightly for quite a while now.
Stable and beta have still been on the serial compiler, because they can't use `-Zthreads` anyways.
But this is quite suboptimal:
- the maintenance burden still sucks
- we're not testing the serial compiler in nightly
Because of these reasons, it's time to end it. The serial compiler has served us well in the years since it was split from the parallel one, but it's over now.

#113349
Note that the default is still 1 thread, as more than 1 thread is still fairly broken.
