Avoid `GenFuture` shim when compiling async constructs
Previously, async constructs would be lowered to "normal" generators, with an additional `from_generator` / `GenFuture` shim in between to convert from `Generator` to `Future`.
The compiler will now special-case these generators internally so that async constructs will *directly* implement `Future` without the need to go through the `from_generator` / `GenFuture` shim.
The primary motivation for this change was hiding this implementation detail in stack traces and debuginfo, but it can in theory also help the optimizer as there is less abstractions to see through.

Given this demo code:
```rust
pub async fn a(arg: u32) -> Backtrace {
let bt = b().await;
let _arg = arg;
bt
}
pub async fn b() -> Backtrace {
Backtrace::force_capture()
}
```
I would get the following with the latest stable compiler (on Windows):
```
4: async_codegen:🅱️:async_fn$0
at .\src\lib.rs:10
5: core::future::from_generator::impl$1::poll<enum2$<async_codegen:🅱️:async_fn_env$0> >
at /rustc/897e37553bba8b42751c67658967889d11ecd120\library\core\src\future\mod.rs:91

at /rustc/897e37553bba8b42751c67658967889d11ecd120\library\core\src\future\mod.rs:91
```
whereas now I get a much cleaner stack trace:
```
3: async_codegen:🅱️:async_fn$0
at .\src\lib.rs:10
4: async_codegen:🅰️:async_fn$0
at .\src\lib.rs:4

Use `tcx.require_lang_item` instead of unwrapping lang items
I clearly remember esteban telling me that there is `require_lang_item` but he was from a phone atm and I couldn't find it, so I didn't use it. Stumbled on it today, so here we are :)
Support using `Self` or projections inside an RPIT/async fn
I reuse the same idea as https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/103449 to use variances to encode whether a lifetime parameter is captured by impl-trait.
The current implementation of async and RPIT replace all lifetimes from the parent generics by `'static`. This PR changes the scheme
```rust
impl<'a> Foo<'a> {
fn foo<'b, T>() -> impl Into<Self> + 'b { ... }
}
opaque Foo::<'_a>::foo::<'_b, T>::opaque<'b>: Into<Foo<'_a>> + 'b;
impl<'a> Foo<'a> {
// OLD
fn foo<'b, T>() -> Foo::<'static>::foo::<'static, T>::opaque::<'b> { ... }
^^^^^^^ the `Self` becomes `Foo<'static>`
// NEW
fn foo<'b, T>() -> Foo::<'a>::foo::<'b, T>::opaque::<'b> { ... }
^^ the `Self` stays `Foo<'a>`
}
```
There is the same issue with projections. In the example, substitute `Self` by `<T as Trait<'b>>::Assoc` in the sugared version, and `Foo<'_a>` by `<T as Trait<'_b>>::Assoc` in the desugared one.
This allows to support `Self` in impl-trait, since we do not replace lifetimes by `'static` any more. The same trick allows to use projections like `T::Assoc` where `Self` is allowed. The feature is gated behind a `impl_trait_projections` feature gate.
The implementation relies on 2 tweaking rules for opaques in 2 places:
- we only relate substs that correspond to captured lifetimes during TypeRelation;
- we only list captured lifetimes in choice region computation.
For simplicity, I encoded the "capturedness" of lifetimes as a variance, `Bivariant` vs `Invariant` for unused vs captured lifetimes. The `variances_of` query used to ICE for opaques.
Impl-trait that do not reference `Self` or projections will have their variances as:
- `o` (invariant) for each parent type or const;
- `*` (bivariant) for each parent lifetime --> will not participate in borrowck;
- `o` (invariant) for each own lifetime.
Impl-trait that does reference `Self` and/or projections will have some parent lifetimes marked as `o` (as the example above), and participate in type relation and borrowck. In the example above, `variances_of(opaque) = ['_a: o, '_b: *, T: o, 'b: o]`.

cc `@compiler-errors` , as you asked about the issue with `Self` and projections.
Convert predicates into Predicate in the Obligation constructor
instead of having almost all callers do that.
This reduces a bit of boilerplate, and also paves the way for my work towards https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/531 (as it makes it easier to accept both goals and clauses where right now it only accepts predicates).
Some diagnostic-related nits
1. Use `&mut Diagnostic` instead of `&mut DiagnosticBuilder<'_, T>`
2. Make `diag.span_suggestions` take an `IntoIterator` instead of `Iterator`, just to remove some `.into_iter` calls on the caller.
idk if I should add a lint to make sure people use `&mut Diagnostic` instead of `&mut DiagnosticBuilder<'_, T>` in cases where we're just, e.g., adding subdiagnostics to the diagnostic... maybe a followup.
Add support for custom mir
This implements rust-lang/compiler-team#564 . Details about the design, motivation, etc. can be found in there.

Add context to compiler error message
Changed `creates a temporary which is freed while still in use` to `creates a temporary value which is freed while still in use`.
