This is mainly intended for `rustc` developers who want to see a
diagnostic in its original context in the control flow. Two uses
cases for that are:
* `-Z treat-err-as-bug` which then allows extraction of a stack-trace to the origin of the error
(a case that is so important that we make that flag imply this one, effectively).
* `RUST_LOG=... rustc`, in which case it is often useful to see the logging statements that
occurred immediately prior to the point where the diagnostic was signalled.
Drive-by: Added some documentation pointing future devs at
HandlerFlags, and documented the fields of `HandlerFlags` itself.
Make queries thread safe
This makes queries thread safe by removing the query stack and making queries point to their parents. Queries write to the query map when starting and cycles are detected by checking if there's already an entry in the query map. This makes cycle detection O(1) instead of O(n), where `n` is the size of the query stack.
This is mostly corresponds to the method I described [here](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/parallelizing-rustc-using-rayon/6606).

This crate moves the compiler's error reporting to using the `termcolor` crate
from crates.io. Previously rustc used a super-old version of the `term` crate
in-tree which is basically unmaintained at this point, but Cargo has been using
`termcolor` for some time now and tools like `rg` are using `termcolor` as well,
so it seems like a good strategy to take!
Note that the `term` crate remains in-tree for libtest. Changing libtest will be
a bit tricky due to how the build works, but we can always tackle that later.

Add approximate suggestions for rustfix
This adds `span_approximate_suggestion()` that lets you emit a
suggestion marked as "non-machine applicable" in the JSON output. UI
users see no difference. This is for when rustc and clippy wish to
emit suggestions which will make sense to the reader (e.g. they may
have placeholders like `<type>`) but are not source-applicable, so that
rustfix/etc can ignore these.
