When encountering format string errors in a raw string, or regular
string literal with embedded newlines, account for the positional
change to use correct spans.

Improve format string errors
Point at format string position inside the formatting string:
```
error: invalid format string: unmatched `}` found
--> $DIR/format-string-error.rs:21:22
|
LL | let _ = format!("}");
| ^ unmatched `}` in format string
```
Explain that argument names can't start with an underscore:
```
error: invalid format string: invalid argument name `_foo`
--> $DIR/format-string-error.rs:15:23
|
LL | let _ = format!("{_foo}", _foo = 6usize);
| ^^^^ invalid argument name in format string
|
= note: argument names cannot start with an underscore
```
Fix#23476.
The more accurate spans will only be seen when using `format!` directly, when using `println!` the diagnostics machinery makes the span be the entire statement.
Avoid overlapping spans by only pointing at the arguments that are not
being used in the argument string. Enable libsyntax to have diagnostics
with multiple primary spans by accepting `Into<MultiSpan>` instead of
`Span`.
Replaced by adding extra imports, adding hidden code (`# ...`), modifying
examples to be runnable (sorry Homura), specifying non-Rust code, and
converting to should_panic, no_run, or compile_fail.
Remaining "```ignore"s received an explanation why they are being ignored.
On fmt string with unescaped `{` note how to escape
On cases of malformed format strings where a `{` hasn't been properly escaped, like `println!("{");`, present a NOTE explaining how to escape the `{` char.
Fix#34300.
On cases of malformed format strings where a `{` hasn't been properly
escaped, like `println!("{");`, present a note explaining how to escape
the `{` char.
This teaches `format_args!` how to interpret format printf- and
shell-style format directives. This is used in cases where there are
unused formatting arguments, and the reason for that *might* be because
the programmer is trying to use the wrong kind of formatting string.
This was prompted by an issue encountered by simulacrum on the #rust IRC
channel. In short: although `println!` told them that they weren't using
all of the conversion arguments, the problem was in using printf-syle
directives rather than ones `println!` would undertand.
Where possible, `format_args!` will tell the programmer what they should
use instead. For example, it will suggest replacing `%05d` with `{:0>5}`,
or `%2$.*3$s` with `{1:.3$}`. Even if it cannot suggest a replacement,
it will explicitly note that Rust does not support that style of directive,
and direct the user to the `std::fmt` documentation.
This applies the HIR changes from the previous commits to the AST, and
is thus a syntax-[breaking-change]
Renames `PatKind::Vec` to `PatKind::Slice`, since these are called slice
patterns, not vec patterns. Renames `TyKind::Vec`, which represents the
type `[T]`, to `TyKind::Slice`. Renames `TyKind::FixedLengthVec` to
`TyKind::Array`.
