This uncovered a lot of bugs in compiletest and also some shortcomings
of our existing JSON output. We had to add information to the JSON
output, such as suggested text and macro backtraces. We also had to fix
various bugs in the existing tests.
Joint work with jntrnr.

Prior to this commit, if a compiletest testcase included the text
"HELP:" or "NOTE:" (note the colons), then it would indicate to the
compiletest suite that we should verify "help" and "note" expected
messages.
This commit updates this check to also check "HELP" and "NOTE" (not the
absense of colons) so that we always verify "help" and "note" expected
messages.
This commit adds functionality that allows the name resolution pass
to search for entities (traits/types/enums/structs) by name, in
order to show recommendations along with the errors.
For now, only E0405 and E0412 have suggestions attached, as per the
request in bug #21221, but it's likely other errors can also benefit
from the ability to generate suggestions.
