Fix intra-doc links for associated items
@Manishearth and I found that links of the following sort are broken:
```rust
$ cat str_from.rs
/// [`String::from`]
pub fn foo() {}
$ rustdoc str_from.rs
warning: `[String::from]` cannot be resolved, ignoring it.
--> str_from.rs:4:6
|
4 | /// [`String::from`]
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ cannot be resolved, ignoring
```
It turns out this is because the current implementation only looks at inherent impls (`impl Bar {}`) and traits _for the item being documented_. Note that this is not the same as the item being _linked_ to. So this code would work:
```rust
pub trait T1 {
fn method();
}
pub struct S;
impl T1 for S {
/// [S::method] on method
fn method() {}
}
```
but putting the documentation on `trait T1` would not.
~~I realized that writing it up that my fix is only partially correct: It removes the inherent impls code when it should instead remove the `trait_item` code.~~ Fixed.
Additionally, I discovered while writing this there is some ambiguity: you could have multiple methods with the same name, but for different traits:
```rust
pub trait T1 {
fn method();
}
pub trait T2 {
fn method();
}
/// See [S::method]
pub struct S;
```
Rustdoc should give an ambiguity error here, but since there is currently no way to disambiguate the traits (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/74563) it does not (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74489#issuecomment-673878404).
There is a _third_ ambiguity that pops up: What if the trait is generic and is implemented multiple times with different generic parameters? In this case, my fix does not do very well: it thinks there is only one trait instantiated and links to that trait:
```
/// [`String::from`] -- this resolves to https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/alloc/string/struct.String.html#method.from
pub fn foo() {}
```
However, every `From` implementation has a method called `from`! So the browser picks a random one. This is not the desired behavior, but it's not clear how to avoid it.
To be consistent with the rest of intra-doc links, this only resolves associated items from traits that are in scope. This required changes to rustc_resolve to work cross-crate; the relevant commits are prefixed with `resolve: `. As a bonus, considering only traits in scope is slightly faster. To avoid re-calculating the traits over and over, rustdoc uses a cache to store the traits in scope for a given module.
Provide better spans for the match arm without tail expression
Resolves#75418.
Applied the same logic in the `if`-`else` type mismatch case.

Document that slice refers to any pointer type to a sequence
I was recently confused about the way slices are represented in memory. The necessary information was not available in the std-docs directly, but was a mix of different material from the reference and book.
This PR should clear up the definition of slices a bit more in the documentation. Especially the fact that the term slice refers to the pointer/reference type, e.g. `&[T]`, and not `[T]`.
It also documents that slice pointers are twice the size of pointers to `Sized` types, as this concept may be unfamiliar to users coming from other languages that do not have the concept of "fat pointers" (especially C/C++).
I've documented why this was important to me and my findings in [this blog post](https://codecrash.me/understanding-rust-slices).

stabilize ptr_offset_from
This stabilizes ptr::offset_from, and closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/41079. It also removes the deprecated `wrapping_offset_from`. This function was deprecated 19 days ago and was never stable; given an FCP of 10 days and some waiting time until FCP starts, that leaves at least a month between deprecation and removal which I think is fine for a nightly-only API.
Regarding the open questions in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/41079:
* Should offset_from abort instead of panic on ZSTs? -- As far as I know, there is no precedent for such aborts. We could, however, declare this UB. Given that the size is always known statically and the check thus rather cheap, UB seems excessive.
* Should there be more methods like this with different restrictions (to allow nuw/nsw, perhaps) or that return usize (like how isize-taking offset is more conveniently done with usize-taking add these days)? -- No reason to block stabilization on that, we can always add such methods later.
Also nominating the lang team because this exposes an intrinsic.
The stabilized method is best described [by its doc-comment](56d4b2d69a/src/libcore/ptr/const_ptr.rs (L227)). The documentation forgot to mention the requirement that both pointers must "have the same provenance", aka "be derived from pointers to the same allocation", which I am adding in this PR. This is a precondition that [Miri already implements](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=nightly&mode=debug&edition=2018&gist=a3b9d0a07a01321f5202cd99e9613480) and that, should LLVM ever obtain a `psub` operation to subtract pointers, will likely be required for that operation (following the semantics in [this paper](https://people.mpi-sws.org/~jung/twinsem/twinsem.pdf)).
Fix cargo dev new_lint for late lint passes
Since 30c046ede4, `LateLintPass` has only one lifetime parameter.
I'm not sure how to easily test this, I think adding this kind of tests would be probably part of #5394

Use smaller def span for functions
Currently, the def span of a function encompasses the entire function
signature and body. However, this is usually unnecessarily verbose - when we are
pointing at an entire function in a diagnostic, we almost always want to
point at the signature. The actual contents of the body tends to be
irrelevant to the diagnostic we are emitting, and just takes up
additional screen space.
This commit changes the `def_span` of all function items (freestanding
functions, `impl`-block methods, and `trait`-block methods) to be the
span of the signature. For example, the function
```rust
pub fn foo<T>(val: T) -> T { val }
```
now has a `def_span` corresponding to `pub fn foo<T>(val: T) -> T`
(everything before the opening curly brace).
Trait methods without a body have a `def_span` which includes the
trailing semicolon. For example:
```rust
trait Foo {
fn bar();
}
```
the function definition `Foo::bar` has a `def_span` of `fn bar();`
This makes our diagnostic output much shorter, and emphasizes
information that is relevant to whatever diagnostic we are reporting.
We continue to use the full span (including the body) in a few of
places:
* MIR building uses the full span when building source scopes.
* 'Outlives suggestions' use the full span to sort the diagnostics being
emitted.
* The `#[rustc_on_unimplemented(enclosing_scope="in this scope")]`
attribute points the entire scope body.
All of these cases work only with local items, so we don't need to
add anything extra to crate metadata.
Lazy decoding of DefPathTable from crate metadata (non-incremental case)
The is the half of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74967 that doesn't touch incremental-related structures.
We are still decoding def path hashes eagerly if we are in incremental mode.
The incremental part of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74967 feels hacky, but I'm not qualified enough to suggest improvements. I'll reassign it so someone else once this PR lands.
@Aaron1011, I wasn't asking you to do this split because I wasn't sure that it's feasible (or simple to do).

Add a cast to the suggestion when the return expression has adjustments.
These adjustments are lost when the suggestion is applied.
This is similar to the problem in issue #4437.

Re-land PR #72388: Recursively expand `TokenKind::Interpolated` in `probably_equal_for_proc_macro`
PR #72388 allowed us to preserve the original `TokenStream` in more cases during proc-macro expansion, but had to be reverted due to a large number of regressions (See #72545 and #72622). These regressions fell into two categories
1. Missing handling for `Group`s with `Delimiter::None`, which are inserted during `macro_rules!` expansion (but are lost during stringification and re-parsing). A large number of these regressions were due to `syn` and `proc-macro-hack`, but several crates needed changes to their own proc-macro code.
2. Legitimate hygiene issues that were previously being masked by stringification. Some of these were relatively benign (e.g. [a compiliation error](https://github.com/paritytech/parity-scale-codec/pull/210) caused by misusing `quote_spanned!`). However, two crates had intentionally written unhygenic `macro_rules!` macros, which were able to access identifiers that were not passed as arguments (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/72622#issuecomment-636402573).
All but one of the Crater regressions have now been fixed upstream (see https://hackmd.io/ItrXWRaSSquVwoJATPx3PQ?both). The remaining crate (which has a PR pending at https://github.com/sammhicks/face-generator/pull/1) is not on `crates.io`, and is a Yew application that seems unlikely to have any reverse dependencies.
As @petrochenkov mentioned in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/72545#issuecomment-638632434, not re-landing PR #72388 allows more crates to write unhygenic `macro_rules!` macros, which will eventually stop compiling. Since there is only one Crater regression remaining, since additional crates could write unhygenic `macro_rules!` macros in the time it takes that PR to be merged.
