When `staged_api` is enabled, effective visibilities are computed earlier
and this can trigger an ICE in some cases.
In particular, if a impl of a trait method has a visibility then an error
will be reported for that, but when privacy invariants are being checked,
the effective visibility will still be greater than the nominal visbility
and that will trigger a `span_bug!`.
However, this invariant - that effective visibilites are limited to
nominal visibility - doesn't make sense for associated functions.

Suggest publicly accessible paths for items in private mod:
When encountering a path in non-import situations that are not reachable
due to privacy constraints, search for any public re-exports that the
user could use instead.
Track whether an import suggestion is offering a re-export.
When encountering a path with private segments, mention if the item at
the final path segment is not publicly accessible at all.
Add item visibility metadata to privacy errors from imports:
On unreachable imports, record the item that was being imported in order
to suggest publicly available re-exports or to be explicit that the item
is not available publicly from any path.
In order to allow this, we add a mode to `resolve_path` that will not
add new privacy errors, nor return early if it encounters one. This way
we can get the `Res` corresponding to the final item in the import,
which is used in the privacy error machinery.
When implementing a public trait with a private super-trait, we now emit
a note that the missing bound is not going to be able to be satisfied,
and we explain the concept of a sealed trait.
This commit reverts a change made in #111425.
It was believed that this change was necessary for implementing type privacy lints, but #111801 showed that it was not necessary.
Quite opposite, the revert fixes some issues.
This fixes#111220 by checking the privacy of tuple constructors using `Self`, so the following code now errors
```rust
mod my {
pub struct Foo(&'static str);
}
impl AsRef<str> for my::Foo {
fn as_ref(&self) -> &str {
let Self(s) = self; // previously compiled, now errors correctly
s
}
}
```
Update `error [E0449]: unnecessary visibility qualifier` to be more clear
This updates the error message `error[E0449]: unnecessary visibility qualifier` by clearly indicating that visibility qualifiers already inherit their visibility from a parent item. The error message previously implied that the qualifiers were permitted, which is not the case anymore.
Resolves#109822.
Something similar was previously removed as a part of #104602, but after this PR all table changes should also be "locally correct" after every update.
