[Syntax] Implement auto trait syntax
Implements `auto trait Send {}` as a substitute for `trait Send {} impl Send for .. {}`.
See the [internals thread](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/pre-rfc-renaming-oibits-and-changing-their-declaration-syntax/3086) for motivation. Part of #13231.
The first commit is just a rename moving from "default trait" to "auto trait". The rest is parser->AST->HIR work and making it the same as the current syntax for everything below HIR. It's under the `optin_builtin_traits` feature gate.
When can we remove the old syntax? Do we need to wait for a new `stage0`? We also need to formally decide for the new form (even if the keyword is not settled yet).
Observations:
- If you `auto trait Auto {}` and then `impl Auto for .. {}` that's accepted even if it's redundant.
- The new syntax is simpler internally which will allow for a net removal of code, for example well-formedness checks are effectively moved to the parser.
- Rustfmt and clippy are broken, need to fix those.
- Rustdoc just ignores it for now.

DefaultImpl is a highly confusing name for what we now call auto impls,
as in `impl Send for ..`. The name auto impl is not formally decided
but for sanity anything is better than `DefaultImpl` which refers
neither to `default impl` nor to `impl Default`.
`unreachable-pub` lint (as authorized by RFC 2126)
To whom it may concern:
RFC 2126 commissions the creation of a lint for `pub` items that are not visible from crate root (#45521). We understand (but seek confirmation from more knowledgable compiler elders) that this can be implemented by linting HIR items that are _not_ ~~`cx.access_levels.is_exported`~~ `cx.access_levels.is_reachable` but have a `vis` (-ibility) field of `hir::Visibility::Public`.
The lint, tentatively called ~~`unexported-pub`~~ `unreachable-pub` (with the understanding that much could be written on the merits of various names, as it is said of the colors of bicycle-sheds), suggests `crate` as a replacement for `pub` if the `crate_visibility_modifier` feature is enabled (see #45388), and `pub(crate)` otherwise. We also use help messaging to suggest the other potential fix of exporting the item; feedback is desired as to whether this may be confusing or could be worded better.
As a preview of what respecting the proposed lint would look like (and to generate confirmatory evidence that this implementation doesn't issue false positives), ~~we take its suggestions for `libcore`~~ (save one, which is deferred to another pull request because it brings up an unrelated technical matter). I remain your obedient servant.

This is just an emergency fix to keep bors running for another week. I think the numbers will be broken soon. Can we verify if this statement is still true later?

This needs a UI test, but thought I'd get some early feedback.
Improve display of error E0308
Ref. Forgetting to call a variant constructor causes a confusing error message #35241.
This PR modifies [`note_type_err`](b7041bfab3/src/librustc/infer/error_reporting/mod.rs (L669-L674)) to display a `help` message when a `TyFnPtr` or `TyFnDef` are found and the return type, of the function or function pointer, is the same as the type that is expected.
The output of compiling
```rust
struct Foo(u32);
fn test() -> Foo { Foo }
fn main() {}
```
is now
```bash
$ rustc src/test/ui/issue-35241.rs
error[E0308]: mismatched types
--> src/test/ui/issue-35241.rs:13:20

13 | fn test() -> Foo { Foo }
| --- ^^^ expected struct `Foo`, found fn item

= note: expected type `Foo`
found type `fn(u32) -> Foo {Foo::{{constructor}}}`

Bring back slice::ref_slice as slice::from_ref.
These functions were deprecated and removed in 1.5, but such simple
functionality shouldn't require using unsafe code, and it isn't
cluttering libstd too much.
The original removal was quite contentious (see #27774), since then
we've had precedent for including such nuggets of functionality (see rust-lang/rfcs#1789),
and @nikomatsakis has provided a lot of use cases in https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1789#issuecomment-314640034.
Hence this PR.
I'm not too sure what to do with stability, feel free to correct me.
It seems pointless to go through stabilization for these functions though.
