As a side effect, we now represent most promoteds as `ConstValue::Scalar` again. This is useful because all implict promoteds are just references anyway and most explicit promoteds are numeric arguments to `asm!` or SIMD instructions.
use sort_unstable to sort primitive types
It's not important to retain original order if we have &[1, 1, 2, 3] for example.

Auto-generate lint documentation.
This adds a tool which will generate the lint documentation in the rustc book automatically. This is motivated by keeping the documentation up-to-date, and consistently formatted. It also ensures the examples are correct and that they actually generate the expected lint. The lint groups table is also auto-generated. See https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/349 for the original proposal.
An outline of how this works:
- The `declare_lint!` macro now accepts a doc comment where the documentation is written. This is inspired by how clippy works.
- A new tool `src/tools/lint-docs` scrapes the documentation and adds it to the rustc book during the build.
- It runs each example and verifies its output and embeds the output in the book.
- It does a few formatting checks.
- It verifies that every lint is documented.
- Groups are collected from `rustc -W help`.
I updated the documentation for all the missing lints. I have also added an "Explanation" section to each lint providing a reason for the lint and suggestions on how to resolve it.
This can lead towards a future enhancement of possibly showing these docs via the `--explain` flag to make them easily accessible and discoverable.
If a symbol name can only be imported from one place for a type, and
as long as it was not glob-imported anywhere in the current crate, we
can trim its printed path and print only the name.
This has wide implications on error messages with types, for example,
shortening `std::vec::Vec` to just `Vec`, as long as there is no other
`Vec` importable anywhere.
This adds a new '-Z trim-diagnostic-paths=false' option to control this
feature.
On the good path, with no diagnosis printed, we should try to avoid
issuing this query, so we need to prevent trimmed_def_paths query on
several cases.
This change also relies on a previous commit that differentiates
between `Debug` and `Display` on various rustc types, where the latter
is trimmed and presented to the user and the former is not.
