"no method" errors on standard library types
The standard library developer can annotate methods on e.g.
`BTreeSet::push` with `#[rustc_confusables("insert")]`. When the user
mistypes `btreeset.push()`, `BTreeSet::insert` will be suggested if
there are no other candidates to suggest.
Uplift `clippy::fn_null_check` lint
This PR aims at uplifting the `clippy::fn_null_check` lint into rustc.
## `incorrect_fn_null_checks`
(warn-by-default)
The `incorrect_fn_null_checks` lint checks for expression that checks if a function pointer is null.
### Example
```rust
let fn_ptr: fn() = /* somehow obtained nullable function pointer */
if (fn_ptr as *const ()).is_null() { /* ... */ }
```
### Explanation
Function pointers are assumed to be non-null, checking for their nullity is incorrect.

Add `lazy_type_alias` feature gate
Add the `type_alias_type` to be able to have the weak alias used without restrictions.
Part of #112792.

Syntactically accept `become` expressions (explicit tail calls experiment)
This adds `ast::ExprKind::Become`, implements parsing and properly gates the feature.

Add `implement_via_object` to `rustc_deny_explicit_impl` to control object candidate assembly
Some built-in traits are special, since they are used to prove facts about the program that are important for later phases of compilation such as codegen and CTFE. For example, the `Unsize` trait is used to assert to the compiler that we are able to unsize a type into another type. It doesn't have any methods because it doesn't actually *instruct* the compiler how to do this unsizing, but this is later used (alongside an exhaustive match of combinations of unsizeable types) during codegen to generate unsize coercion code.
Due to this, these built-in traits are incompatible with the type erasure provided by object types. For example, the existence of `dyn Unsize<T>` does not mean that the compiler is able to unsize `Box<dyn Unsize<T>>` into `Box<T>`, since `Unsize` is a *witness* to the fact that a type can be unsized, and it doesn't actually encode that unsizing operation in its vtable as mentioned above.
The old trait solver gets around this fact by having complex control flow that never considers object bounds for certain built-in traits:
2f896da247/compiler/rustc_trait_selection/src/traits/select/candidate_assembly.rs (L61-L132)
However, candidate assembly in the new solver is much more lovely, and I'd hate to add this list of opt-out cases into the new solver. Instead of maintaining this complex and hard-coded control flow, instead we can make this a property of the trait via a built-in attribute. We already have such a build attribute that's applied to every single trait that we care about: `rustc_deny_explicit_impl`. This PR adds `implement_via_object` as a meta-item to that attribute that allows us to opt a trait out of object-bound candidate assembly as well.

Remove `box_free` lang item
This PR removes the `box_free` lang item, replacing it with `Box`'s `Drop` impl. Box dropping is still slightly magic because the contained value is still dropped by the compiler.
Uplift `clippy::cast_ref_to_mut` lint
This PR aims at uplifting the `clippy::cast_ref_to_mut` lint into rustc.
## `cast_ref_to_mut`
(deny-by-default)
The `cast_ref_to_mut` lint checks for casts of `&T` to `&mut T` without using interior mutability.
### Example
```rust,compile_fail
fn x(r: &i32) {
unsafe {
*(r as *const i32 as *mut i32) += 1;
}
}
```
### Explanation
Casting `&T` to `&mut T` without interior mutability is undefined behavior, as it's a violation of Rust reference aliasing requirements.

For Clippy:
changelog: Moves: Uplifted `clippy::cast_ref_to_mut` into rustc
Only rewrite valtree-constants to patterns and keep other constants opaque
Now that we can reliably fall back to comparing constants with `PartialEq::eq` to the match scrutinee, we can
1. eagerly try to convert constants to valtrees
2. then deeply convert the valtree to a pattern
3. if the to-valtree conversion failed, create an "opaque constant" pattern.
This PR specifically avoids any behavioral changes or major cleanups. What we can now do as follow ups is
* move the two remaining call sites to `destructure_mir_constant` off that query
* make valtree to pattern conversion infallible
* this needs to be done after careful analysis of the effects. There may be user visible changes from that.

Uplift `clippy::invalid_utf8_in_unchecked` lint
This PR aims at uplifting the `clippy::invalid_utf8_in_unchecked` lint into two lints.
## `invalid_from_utf8_unchecked`
(deny-by-default)
The `invalid_from_utf8_unchecked` lint checks for calls to `std::str::from_utf8_unchecked` and `std::str::from_utf8_unchecked_mut` with an invalid UTF-8 literal.
### Example
```rust
unsafe {
std::str::from_utf8_unchecked(b"cl\x82ippy");
}
```
### Explanation
Creating such a `str` would result in undefined behavior as per documentation for `std::str::from_utf8_unchecked` and `std::str::from_utf8_unchecked_mut`.
## `invalid_from_utf8`
(warn-by-default)
The `invalid_from_utf8` lint checks for calls to `std::str::from_utf8` and `std::str::from_utf8_mut` with an invalid UTF-8 literal.
### Example
```rust
std::str::from_utf8(b"ru\x82st");
```
### Explanation
Trying to create such a `str` would always return an error as per documentation for `std::str::from_utf8` and `std::str::from_utf8_mut`.
