detects redundant imports that can be eliminated.
for #117772 :
In order to facilitate review and modification, split the checking code and
removing redundant imports code into two PR.
discard invalid spans in external blocks
Fixes#116203
This PR has discarded the invalid `const_span`, thereby making the format more neat.

Remove asmjs
Fulfills [MCP 668](https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/668).
`asmjs-unknown-emscripten` does not work as-specified, and lacks essential upstream support for generating asm.js, so it should not exist at all.
This function is now used to check `#[panic_handler]`, `start` lang item, `main`, `#[start]` and intrinsic functions.
The diagnosis produced are now closer to the ones produced by trait/impl method signature mismatch.
Suggest publicly accessible paths for items in private mod:
When encountering a path in non-import situations that are not reachable
due to privacy constraints, search for any public re-exports that the
user could use instead.
Track whether an import suggestion is offering a re-export.
When encountering a path with private segments, mention if the item at
the final path segment is not publicly accessible at all.
Add item visibility metadata to privacy errors from imports:
On unreachable imports, record the item that was being imported in order
to suggest publicly available re-exports or to be explicit that the item
is not available publicly from any path.
In order to allow this, we add a mode to `resolve_path` that will not
add new privacy errors, nor return early if it encounters one. This way
we can get the `Res` corresponding to the final item in the import,
which is used in the privacy error machinery.
