Remove `DiagCtxt` API duplication
`DiagCtxt` defines the internal API for creating and emitting diagnostics: methods like `struct_err`, `struct_span_warn`, `note`, `create_fatal`, `emit_bug`. There are over 50 methods.
Some of these methods are then duplicated across several other types: `Session`, `ParseSess`, `Parser`, `ExtCtxt`, and `MirBorrowckCtxt`. `Session` duplicates the most, though half the ones it does are unused. Each duplicated method just calls forward to the corresponding method in `DiagCtxt`. So this duplication exists to (in the best case) shorten chains like `ecx.tcx.sess.parse_sess.dcx.emit_err()` to `ecx.emit_err()`.
This API duplication is ugly and has been bugging me for a while. And it's inconsistent: there's no real logic about which methods are duplicated, and the use of `#[rustc_lint_diagnostic]` and `#[track_caller]` attributes vary across the duplicates.
This PR removes the duplicated API methods and makes all diagnostic creation and emission go through `DiagCtxt`. It also adds `dcx` getter methods to several types to shorten chains. This approach scales *much* better than API duplication; indeed, the PR adds `dcx()` to numerous types that didn't have API duplication: `TyCtxt`, `LoweringCtxt`, `ConstCx`, `FnCtxt`, `TypeErrCtxt`, `InferCtxt`, `CrateLoader`, `CheckAttrVisitor`, and `Resolver`. These result in a lot of changes from `foo.tcx.sess.emit_err()` to `foo.dcx().emit_err()`. (You could do this with more types, but it gets into diminishing returns territory for types that don't emit many diagnostics.)
After all these changes, some call sites are more verbose, some are less verbose, and many are the same. The total number of lines is reduced, mostly because of the removed API duplication. And consistency is increased, because calls to `emit_err` and friends are always preceded with `.dcx()` or `.dcx`.

codegen: panic when trying to compute size/align of extern type
The alignment is also computed when accessing a field of extern type at non-zero offset, so we also panic in that case.
Previously `size_of_val` worked because the code path there assumed that "thin pointer" means "sized". But that's not true any more with extern types. The returned size and align are just blatantly wrong, so it seems better to panic than returning wrong results. We use a non-unwinding panic since code probably does not expect size_of_val to panic.
Add lint against ambiguous wide pointer comparisons
This PR is the resolution of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/106447 decided in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/117717 by T-lang.
## `ambiguous_wide_pointer_comparisons`
*warn-by-default*
The `ambiguous_wide_pointer_comparisons` lint checks comparison of `*const/*mut ?Sized` as the operands.
### Example
```rust
let ab = (A, B);
let a = &ab.0 as *const dyn T;
let b = &ab.1 as *const dyn T;
let _ = a == b;
```
### Explanation
The comparison includes metadata which may not be expected.
-------
This PR also drops `clippy::vtable_address_comparisons` which is superseded by this one.
~~One thing: is the current naming right? `invalid` seems a bit too much.~~
