Remove migrate borrowck mode
Closes#58781Closes#43234
# Stabilization proposal
This PR proposes the stabilization of `#![feature(nll)]` and the removal of `-Z borrowck`. Current borrow checking behavior of item bodies is currently done by first infering regions *lexically* and reporting any errors during HIR type checking. If there *are* any errors, then MIR borrowck (NLL) never occurs. If there *aren't* any errors, then MIR borrowck happens and any errors there would be reported. This PR removes the lexical region check of item bodies entirely and only uses MIR borrowck. Because MIR borrowck could never *not* be run for a compiled program, this should not break any programs. It does, however, change diagnostics significantly and allows a slightly larger set of programs to compile.
Tracking issue: #43234
RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2094-nll.md
Version: 1.63 (2022-06-30 => beta, 2022-08-11 => stable).
## Motivation
Over time, the Rust borrow checker has become "smarter" and thus allowed more programs to compile. There have been three different implementations: AST borrowck, MIR borrowck, and polonius (well, in progress). Additionally, there is the "lexical region resolver", which (roughly) solves the constraints generated through HIR typeck. It is not a full borrow checker, but does emit some errors.
The AST borrowck was the original implementation of the borrow checker and was part of the initially stabilized Rust 1.0. In mid 2017, work began to implement the current MIR borrow checker and that effort ompleted by the end of 2017, for the most part. During 2018, efforts were made to migrate away from the AST borrow checker to the MIR borrow checker - eventually culminating into "migrate" mode - where HIR typeck with lexical region resolving following by MIR borrow checking - being active by default in the 2018 edition.
In early 2019, migrate mode was turned on by default in the 2015 edition as well, but with MIR borrowck errors emitted as warnings. By late 2019, these warnings were upgraded to full errors. This was followed by the complete removal of the AST borrow checker.
In the period since, various errors emitted by the MIR borrow checker have been improved to the point that they are mostly the same or better than those emitted by the lexical region resolver.
While there do remain some degradations in errors (tracked under the [NLL-diagnostics tag](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3ANLL-diagnostics), those are sufficiently small and rare enough that increased flexibility of MIR borrow check-only is now a worthwhile tradeoff.
## What is stabilized
As said previously, this does not fundamentally change the landscape of accepted programs. However, there are a [few](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3ANLL-fixed-by-NLL) cases where programs can compile under `feature(nll)`, but not otherwise.
There are two notable patterns that are "fixed" by this stabilization. First, the `scoped_threads` feature, which is a continutation of a pre-1.0 API, can sometimes emit a [weird lifetime error](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/95527) without NLL. Second, actually seen in the standard library. In the `Extend` impl for `HashMap`, there is an implied bound of `K: 'a` that is available with NLL on but not without - this is utilized in the impl.
As mentioned before, there are a large number of diagnostic differences. Most of them are better, but some are worse. None are serious or happen often enough to need to block this PR. The biggest change is the loss of error code for a number of lifetime errors in favor of more general "lifetime may not live long enough" error. While this may *seem* bad, the former error codes were just attempts to somewhat-arbitrarily bin together lifetime errors of the same type; however, on paper, they end up being roughly the same with roughly the same kinds of solutions.
## What isn't stabilized
This PR does not completely remove the lexical region resolver. In the future, it may be possible to remove that (while still keeping HIR typeck) or to remove it together with HIR typeck.
## Tests
Many test outputs get updated by this PR. However, there are number of tests specifically geared towards NLL under `src/test/ui/nll`

Compute lifetimes in scope at diagnostic time
The set of available lifetimes is currently computed during lifetime resolution on HIR. It is only used for one diagnostic.
In this PR, HIR lifetime resolution just reports whether elided lifetimes are well-defined at the place of use. The diagnostic code is responsible for building a list of lifetime names if elision is not allowed.
This will allow to remove lifetime resolution on HIR eventually.
Replace `&Vec<_>`s with `&[_]`s
It's generally preferable to use `&[_]` since it's one less indirection and it can be created from types other that `Vec`.
I've left `&Vec` in some locals where it doesn't really matter, in cases where `TypeFoldable` is expected (`TypeFoldable: Clone` so slice can't implement it) and in cases where it's `&TypeAliasThatIsActiallyVec`. Nothing important, really, I was just a little annoyed by `visit_generic_param_vec` :D

Handle more cases in cfg_accessible
This PR tries to handle more cases in the cfg_accessible implementation by only emitting a "not sure" error only if we have partially resolved a path.
This PR also adds many tests for the "not sure" cases and for private items.

Iterate over `maybe_unused_trait_imports` when checking dead trait imports
Closes#96873
r? `@cjgillot`
Some questions, if you have time:
- Is there a way to shorten the `rustc_data_structures::fx::FxIndexSet` path in the query declaration? I wasn't sure where to put a `use`.
- Was returning by reference from the query the right choice here?
- How would I go about evaluating the importance of the `is_dummy()` call in `check_crate`? I don't see failing tests when I comment it out. Should I just try to determine whether dummy spans can ever be put into `maybe_unused_trait_imports`?
- Am I doing anything silly with the various ID types?
- Is that `let-else` with `unreachable!()` bad? (i.e is there a better idiom? Would `panic!("<explanation>")` be better?)
- If I want to evaluate the perf of using a `Vec` as mentioned in #96873, is the best way to use the CI or is it feasible locally?
Thanks :)
rustdoc: shrink GenericArgs/PathSegment with boxed slices
This PR also contains a few cleanup bits and pieces, but one of them is a broken intra-doc link, and the other is removing an unused Hash impl. The last commit is the one that matters.
Permit `asm_const` and `asm_sym` to reference generic params
Related #96557
These constructs will be allowed:
```rust
fn foofoo<const N: usize>() {}
unsafe fn foo<const N: usize>() {
asm!("/* {0} */", const N);
asm!("/* {0} */", const N + 1);
asm!("/* {0} */", sym foofoo::<N>);
}
fn barbar<T>() {}
unsafe fn bar<T>() {
asm!("/* {0} */", const std::mem::size_of::<T>());
asm!("/* {0} */", const std::mem::size_of::<(T, T)>());
asm!("/* {0} */", sym barbar::<T>);
asm!("/* {0} */", sym barbar::<(T, T)>);
}
```
`@Amanieu,` I didn't switch inline asms to use `DefKind::InlineAsm`, as I see little value doing that; given that no type inference is needed, it will only make typecking slower and more complex but will have no real gains. I did switch them to follow the same code path as inline asm during symbol resolution, though.
The `error: unconstrained generic constant` you mentioned in #76001 is due to the fact that `to_const` will actually add a wfness obligation to the constant, which we don't need for `asm_const`, so I have that removed.

don't encode only locally used attrs
Part of https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/505.
We now filter builtin attributes before encoding them in the crate metadata in case they should only be used in the local crate. To prevent accidental misuse `get_attrs` now requires the caller to state which attribute they are interested in. For places where that isn't trivially possible, I've added a method `fn get_attrs_unchecked` which I intend to remove in a followup PR.
After this pull request landed, we can then slowly move all attributes to only be used in the local crate while being certain that we don't accidentally try to access them from extern crates.

Implement a lint to warn about unused macro rules
This implements a new lint to warn about unused macro rules (arms/matchers), similar to the `unused_macros` lint added by #41907 that warns about entire macros.
```rust
macro_rules! unused_empty {
(hello) => { println!("Hello, world!") };
() => { println!("empty") }; //~ ERROR: 1st rule of macro `unused_empty` is never used
}
fn main() {
unused_empty!(hello);
}
```

Fixes#73576
Begin fixing all the broken doctests in `compiler/`
Begins to fix#95994.
All of them pass now but 24 of them I've marked with `ignore HELP (<explanation>)` (asking for help) as I'm unsure how to get them to work / if we should leave them as they are.
There are also a few that I marked `ignore` that could maybe be made to work but seem less important.
Each `ignore` has a rough "reason" for ignoring after it parentheses, with
- `(pseudo-rust)` meaning "mostly rust-like but contains foreign syntax"
- `(illustrative)` a somewhat catchall for either a fragment of rust that doesn't stand on its own (like a lone type), or abbreviated rust with ellipses and undeclared types that would get too cluttered if made compile-worthy.
- `(not-rust)` stuff that isn't rust but benefits from the syntax highlighting, like MIR.
- `(internal)` uses `rustc_*` code which would be difficult to make work with the testing setup.
Those reason notes are a bit inconsistently applied and messy though. If that's important I can go through them again and try a more principled approach. When I run `rg '```ignore \(' .` on the repo, there look to be lots of different conventions other people have used for this sort of thing. I could try unifying them all if that would be helpful.
I'm not sure if there was a better existing way to do this but I wrote my own script to help me run all the doctests and wade through the output. If that would be useful to anyone else, I put it here: https://github.com/Elliot-Roberts/rust_doctest_fixing_tool
