Better method call error messages
Rebase/continuation of #71827
~Based on #92360~
~Based on #93118~
There's a decent description in #71827 that I won't copy here (for now at least)
In addition to rebasing, I've tried to restore most of the original suggestions for invalid arguments. Unfortunately, this does make some of the errors a bit verbose. To fix this will require a bit of refactoring to some of the generalized error suggestion functions, and I just don't have the time to go into it right now.
I think this is in a state that the error messages are overall better than before without a reduction in the suggestions given.
~I've tried to split out some of the easier and self-contained changes into separate commits (mostly in #92360, but also one here). There might be more than can be done here, but again just lacking time.~
r? `@estebank` as the original reviewer of #71827
This attempts to bring better error messages to invalid method calls, by applying some heuristics to identify common mistakes.
The algorithm is inspired by Levenshtein distance and longest common sub-sequence. In essence, we treat the types of the function, and the types of the arguments you provided as two "words" and compute the edits to get from one to the other.
We then modify that algorithm to detect 4 cases:
- A function input is missing
- An extra argument was provided
- The type of an argument is straight up invalid
- Two arguments have been swapped
- A subset of the arguments have been shuffled
(We detect the last two as separate cases so that we can detect two swaps, instead of 4 parameters permuted.)
It helps to understand this argument by paying special attention to terminology: "inputs" refers to the inputs being *expected* by the function, and "arguments" refers to what has been provided at the call site.
The basic sketch of the algorithm is as follows:
- Construct a boolean grid, with a row for each argument, and a column for each input. The cell [i, j] is true if the i'th argument could satisfy the j'th input.
- If we find an argument that could satisfy no inputs, provided for an input that can't be satisfied by any other argument, we consider this an "invalid type".
- Extra arguments are those that can't satisfy any input, provided for an input that *could* be satisfied by another argument.
- Missing inputs are inputs that can't be satisfied by any argument, where the provided argument could satisfy another input
- Swapped / Permuted arguments are identified with a cycle detection algorithm.
As each issue is found, we remove the relevant inputs / arguments and check for more issues. If we find no issues, we match up any "valid" arguments, and start again.
Note that there's a lot of extra complexity:
- We try to stay efficient on the happy path, only computing the diagonal until we find a problem, and then filling in the rest of the matrix.
- Closure arguments are wrapped in a tuple and need to be unwrapped
- We need to resolve closure types after the rest, to allow the most specific type constraints
- We need to handle imported C functions that might be variadic in their inputs.
I tried to document a lot of this in comments in the code and keep the naming clear.
Stabilize `derive_default_enum`
This stabilizes `#![feature(derive_default_enum)]`, as proposed in [RFC 3107](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3107) and tracked in #87517. In short, it permits you to `#[derive(Default)]` on `enum`s, indicating what the default should be by placing a `#[default]` attribute on the desired variant (which must be a unit variant in the interest of forward compatibility).

Cached stable hash cleanups
r? `@nnethercote`
Add a sanity assertion in debug mode to check that the cached hashes are actually the ones we get if we compute the hash each time.
Add a new data structure that bundles all the hash-caching work to make it easier to re-use it for different interned data structures
This commit updates the signatures of all diagnostic functions to accept
types that can be converted into a `DiagnosticMessage`. This enables
existing diagnostic calls to continue to work as before and Fluent
identifiers to be provided. The `SessionDiagnostic` derive just
generates normal diagnostic calls, so these APIs had to be modified to
accept Fluent identifiers.
In addition, loading of the "fallback" Fluent bundle, which contains the
built-in English messages, has been implemented.
Each diagnostic now has "arguments" which correspond to variables in the
Fluent messages (necessary to render a Fluent message) but no API for
adding arguments has been added yet. Therefore, diagnostics (that do not
require interpolation) can be converted to use Fluent identifiers and
will be output as before.
`MultiSpan` contains labels, which are more complicated with the
introduction of diagnostic translation and will use types from
`rustc_errors` - however, `rustc_errors` depends on `rustc_span` so
`rustc_span` cannot use types like `DiagnosticMessage` without
dependency cycles. Introduce a new `rustc_error_messages` crate that can
contain `DiagnosticMessage` and `MultiSpan`.

Better suggestions for `Fn`-family trait selection errors
1. Suppress suggestions to add `std::ops::Fn{,Mut,Once}` bounds when a type already implements `Fn{,Mut,Once}`
2. Add a note that points out that a type does in fact implement `Fn{,Mut,Once}`, but the arguments vary (either by number or by actual arguments)
3. Add a note that points out that a type does in fact implement `Fn{,Mut,Once}`, but not the right one (e.g. implements `FnMut`, but `Fn` is required).

Lazy type-alias-impl-trait take two
### user visible change 1: RPIT inference from recursive call sites
Lazy TAIT has an insta-stable change. The following snippet now compiles, because opaque types can now have their hidden type set from wherever the opaque type is mentioned.
```rust
fn bar(b: bool) -> impl std::fmt::Debug {
if b {
return 42
}
let x: u32 = bar(false); // this errors on stable
99
}
```
The return type of `bar` stays opaque, you can't do `bar(false) + 42`, you need to actually mention the hidden type.
### user visible change 2: divergence between RPIT and TAIT in return statements
Note that `return` statements and the trailing return expression are special with RPIT (but not TAIT). So
```rust
#![feature(type_alias_impl_trait)]
type Foo = impl std::fmt::Debug;
fn foo(b: bool) -> Foo {
if b {
return vec![42];
}
std::iter::empty().collect() //~ ERROR `Foo` cannot be built from an iterator
}
fn bar(b: bool) -> impl std::fmt::Debug {
if b {
return vec![42]
}
std::iter::empty().collect() // Works, magic (accidentally stabilized, not intended)
}
```
But when we are working with the return value of a recursive call, the behavior of RPIT and TAIT is the same:
```rust
type Foo = impl std::fmt::Debug;
fn foo(b: bool) -> Foo {
if b {
return vec![];
}
let mut x = foo(false);
x = std::iter::empty().collect(); //~ ERROR `Foo` cannot be built from an iterator
vec![]
}
fn bar(b: bool) -> impl std::fmt::Debug {
if b {
return vec![];
}
let mut x = bar(false);
x = std::iter::empty().collect(); //~ ERROR `impl Debug` cannot be built from an iterator
vec![]
}
```
### user visible change 3: TAIT does not merge types across branches
In contrast to RPIT, TAIT does not merge types across branches, so the following does not compile.
```rust
type Foo = impl std::fmt::Debug;
fn foo(b: bool) -> Foo {
if b {
vec![42_i32]
} else {
std::iter::empty().collect()
//~^ ERROR `Foo` cannot be built from an iterator over elements of type `_`
}
}
```
It is easy to support, but we should make an explicit decision to include the additional complexity in the implementation (it's not much, see a721052457cf513487fb4266e3ade65c29b272d2 which needs to be reverted to enable this).
### PR formalities
previous attempt: #92007
This PR also includes #92306 and #93783, as they were reverted along with #92007 in #93893fixes#93411fixes#88236fixes#89312fixes#87340fixes#86800fixes#86719fixes#84073fixes#83919fixes#82139fixes#77987fixes#74282fixes#67830fixes#62742fixes#54895
Instead of probing for all possible impls that could have caused an
`ImplObligation`, keep track of its `DefId` and obligation spans for
accurate error reporting.
Follow up to #89580. Addresses #89418.
Remove some unnecessary clones.
Tweak output for auto trait impl obligations.
There are a few places were we have to construct it, though, and a few
places that are more invasive to change. To do this, we create a
constructor with a long obvious name.
Improve `AdtDef` interning.
This commit makes `AdtDef` use `Interned`. Much of the commit is tedious
changes to introduce getter functions. The interesting changes are in
`compiler/rustc_middle/src/ty/adt.rs`.
