Remove `box_syntax`
r? `@Nilstrieb`
This removes the feature `box_syntax`, which allows the use of `box <expr>` to create a Box, and finalises removing use of the feature from the compiler. `box_patterns` (allowing the use of `box <pat>` in a pattern) is unaffected.
It also removes `ast::ExprKind::Box` - the only way to create a 'box' expression now is with the rustc-internal `#[rustc_box]` attribute.
As a temporary measure to help users move away, `box <expr>` now parses the inner expression, and emits a `MachineApplicable` lint to replace it with `Box::new`

Gate usages of `dyn*` and const closures in macros
We silently accepted `dyn*` and const closures in macros as long as they didn't expand to anything containing these experimental features, unlike other gated features such as `for<'a>` binders on closures, etc. Let's not do that, to make sure nobody begins relying on this.
This makes it easier to open the messages file while developing on features.
The commit was the result of automatted changes:
for p in compiler/rustc_*; do mv $p/locales/en-US.ftl $p/messages.ftl; rmdir $p/locales; done
for p in compiler/rustc_*; do sed -i "s#\.\./locales/en-US.ftl#../messages.ftl#" $p/src/lib.rs; done
Instead of loading the Fluent resources for every crate in
`rustc_error_messages`, each crate generates typed identifiers for its
own diagnostics and creates a static which are pulled together in the
`rustc_driver` crate and provided to the diagnostic emitter.

Implement partial support for non-lifetime binders
This implements support for non-lifetime binders. It's pretty useless currently, but I wanted to put this up so the implementation can be discussed.
Specifically, this piggybacks off of the late-bound lifetime collection code in `rustc_hir_typeck::collect::lifetimes`. This seems like a necessary step given the fact we don't resolve late-bound regions until this point, and binders are sometimes merged.
Q: I'm not sure if I should go along this route, or try to modify the earlier nameres code to compute the right bound var indices for type and const binders eagerly... If so, I'll need to rename all these queries to something more appropriate (I've done this for `resolve_lifetime::Region` -> `resolve_lifetime::ResolvedArg`)

`check_builtin_attribute` calls `parse_meta` to convert an `Attribute`
to a `MetaItem`, which it then checks. However, many callers of
`check_builtin_attribute` start with a `MetaItem`, and then convert it
to an `Attribute` by calling `cx.attribute(meta_item)`. This `MetaItem`
to `Attribute` to `MetaItem` conversion is silly.
This commit adds a new function `check_builtin_meta_item`, which can be
called instead from these call sites. `check_builtin_attribute` also now
calls it. The commit also renames `check_meta` as `check_attr` to better
match its arguments.
translation: doc comments with derives, subdiagnostic-less enum variants, more derive use
- Adds support for `doc` attributes in the diagnostic derives so that documentation comments don't result in the derive failing.
- Adds support for enum variants in the subdiagnostic derive to not actually correspond to an addition to a diagnostic.
- Made use of the derive in more places in the `rustc_ast_lowering`, `rustc_ast_passes`, `rustc_lint`, `rustc_session`, `rustc_infer` - taking advantage of recent additions like eager subdiagnostics, multispan suggestions, etc.

`AddToDiagnostic::add_to_diagnostic_with` is similar to the previous
`AddToDiagnostic::add_to_diagnostic` but takes a function that can be
used by the caller to modify diagnostic messages originating from the
subdiagnostic (such as performing translation eagerly).
`add_to_diagnostic` now just calls `add_to_diagnostic_with` with an
empty closure.

On later stages, the feature is already stable.

Initial implementation of dyn*
This PR adds extremely basic and incomplete support for [dyn*](https://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps//blog/2022/03/29/dyn-can-we-make-dyn-sized/). The goal is to get something in tree behind a flag to make collaboration easier, and also to make sure the implementation so far is not unreasonable. This PR does quite a few things:
* Introduce `dyn_star` feature flag
* Adds parsing for `dyn* Trait` types
* Defines `dyn* Trait` as a sized type
* Adds support for explicit casts, like `42usize as dyn* Debug`
* Including const evaluation of such casts
* Adds codegen for drop glue so things are cleaned up properly when a `dyn* Trait` object goes out of scope
* Adds codegen for method calls, at least for methods that take `&self`
Quite a bit is still missing, but this gives us a starting point. Note that this is never intended to become stable surface syntax for Rust, but rather `dyn*` is planned to be used as an implementation detail for async functions in dyn traits.
Joint work with `@nikomatsakis` and `@compiler-errors.`
