Remove migrate borrowck mode
Closes#58781Closes#43234
# Stabilization proposal
This PR proposes the stabilization of `#![feature(nll)]` and the removal of `-Z borrowck`. Current borrow checking behavior of item bodies is currently done by first infering regions *lexically* and reporting any errors during HIR type checking. If there *are* any errors, then MIR borrowck (NLL) never occurs. If there *aren't* any errors, then MIR borrowck happens and any errors there would be reported. This PR removes the lexical region check of item bodies entirely and only uses MIR borrowck. Because MIR borrowck could never *not* be run for a compiled program, this should not break any programs. It does, however, change diagnostics significantly and allows a slightly larger set of programs to compile.
Tracking issue: #43234
RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2094-nll.md
Version: 1.63 (2022-06-30 => beta, 2022-08-11 => stable).
## Motivation
Over time, the Rust borrow checker has become "smarter" and thus allowed more programs to compile. There have been three different implementations: AST borrowck, MIR borrowck, and polonius (well, in progress). Additionally, there is the "lexical region resolver", which (roughly) solves the constraints generated through HIR typeck. It is not a full borrow checker, but does emit some errors.
The AST borrowck was the original implementation of the borrow checker and was part of the initially stabilized Rust 1.0. In mid 2017, work began to implement the current MIR borrow checker and that effort ompleted by the end of 2017, for the most part. During 2018, efforts were made to migrate away from the AST borrow checker to the MIR borrow checker - eventually culminating into "migrate" mode - where HIR typeck with lexical region resolving following by MIR borrow checking - being active by default in the 2018 edition.
In early 2019, migrate mode was turned on by default in the 2015 edition as well, but with MIR borrowck errors emitted as warnings. By late 2019, these warnings were upgraded to full errors. This was followed by the complete removal of the AST borrow checker.
In the period since, various errors emitted by the MIR borrow checker have been improved to the point that they are mostly the same or better than those emitted by the lexical region resolver.
While there do remain some degradations in errors (tracked under the [NLL-diagnostics tag](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3ANLL-diagnostics), those are sufficiently small and rare enough that increased flexibility of MIR borrow check-only is now a worthwhile tradeoff.
## What is stabilized
As said previously, this does not fundamentally change the landscape of accepted programs. However, there are a [few](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3ANLL-fixed-by-NLL) cases where programs can compile under `feature(nll)`, but not otherwise.
There are two notable patterns that are "fixed" by this stabilization. First, the `scoped_threads` feature, which is a continutation of a pre-1.0 API, can sometimes emit a [weird lifetime error](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/95527) without NLL. Second, actually seen in the standard library. In the `Extend` impl for `HashMap`, there is an implied bound of `K: 'a` that is available with NLL on but not without - this is utilized in the impl.
As mentioned before, there are a large number of diagnostic differences. Most of them are better, but some are worse. None are serious or happen often enough to need to block this PR. The biggest change is the loss of error code for a number of lifetime errors in favor of more general "lifetime may not live long enough" error. While this may *seem* bad, the former error codes were just attempts to somewhat-arbitrarily bin together lifetime errors of the same type; however, on paper, they end up being roughly the same with roughly the same kinds of solutions.
## What isn't stabilized
This PR does not completely remove the lexical region resolver. In the future, it may be possible to remove that (while still keeping HIR typeck) or to remove it together with HIR typeck.
## Tests
Many test outputs get updated by this PR. However, there are number of tests specifically geared towards NLL under `src/test/ui/nll`

Implement a lint to warn about unused macro rules
This implements a new lint to warn about unused macro rules (arms/matchers), similar to the `unused_macros` lint added by #41907 that warns about entire macros.
```rust
macro_rules! unused_empty {
(hello) => { println!("Hello, world!") };
() => { println!("empty") }; //~ ERROR: 1st rule of macro `unused_empty` is never used
}
fn main() {
unused_empty!(hello);
}
```
Builds upon #96149 and #96156.
Fixes#73576
When we don't find an item we search all of them for an appropriate
import and suggest `use`ing it. This is sometimes done for expressions
that have paths with more than one segment. We now also suggest changing
that path to work with the `use`.
Fix#95413
rustc: Panic by default in `DefIdTree::parent`
Only crate root def-ids don't have a parent, and in majority of cases the argument of `DefIdTree::parent` cannot be a crate root.
So we now panic by default in `parent` and introduce a new non-panicing function `opt_parent` for cases where the argument can be a crate root.
Same applies to `local_parent`/`opt_local_parent`.

rustdoc: Resolve doc links referring to `macro_rules` items

UPD: the fallback to considering *all* `macro_rules` in the crate for unresolved names is not removed in this PR, it will be removed separately and will be run through crater.
Perform lifetime resolution on the AST for lowering
Lifetime resolution is currently implemented several times. Once during lowering in order to introduce in-band lifetimes, and once in the resolve_lifetimes query. However, due to the global nature of lifetime resolution and how it interferes with hygiene, it is better suited on the AST.
This PR implements a first draft of lifetime resolution on the AST. For now, we specifically target named lifetimes and everything we need to remove lifetime resolution from lowering. Some diagnostics have already been ported, and sometimes made more precise using available hygiene information. Follow-up PRs will address in particular the resolution of anonymous lifetimes on the AST.
We reuse the rib design of the current resolution framework. Specific `LifetimeRib` and `LifetimeRibKind` types are introduced. The most important variant is `LifetimeRibKind::Generics`, which happens each time we encounter something which may introduce generic lifetime parameters. It can be an item or a `for<...>` binder. The `LifetimeBinderKind` specifies how this rib behaves with respect to in-band lifetimes.

Stop using CRATE_DEF_INDEX outside of metadata encoding.
`CRATE_DEF_ID` and `CrateNum::as_def_id` are almost always what we want. We should not manipulate raw `DefIndex` outside of metadata encoding.
rustdoc: Fix resolution of `crate`-relative paths in doc links
Resolve `crate::foo` paths transparently to rustdoc, so their resolution no longer affects diagnostics and modules used for determining traits in scope.
The proper solution is to account for the current `module_id`/`parent_scope` in `fn resolve_crate_root`, but it's a slightly larger compiler changes. This PR moves the code closer to it, but keeps it rustdoc-specific.
