Implement the `!` type
This implements the never type (`!`) and hides it behind the feature gate `#[feature(never_type)]`. With the feature gate off, things should build as normal (although some error messages may be different). With the gate on, `!` is usable as a type and diverging type variables (ie. types that are unconstrained by anything in the code) will default to `!` instead of `()`.
E0248, E0267 & E0268 Change into issue format
r? @jonathandturner Part of #35391, #35519 and #35520. I have squashed all changes into a single commit. Please review the changes.
E0248 Change in issue format
E0267 UT New Format
E0268 UT New Format
E0267 & E0268 New Error Format
Refactor constant evaluation to use a single error reporting function
that reports a type-error-like message.
Also, unify all error codes with the "constant evaluation error" message
to just E0080, and similarly for a few other duplicate codes. The old
situation was a total mess, and now that we have *something* we can
further iterate on the UX.
Add AST validation pass and move some checks to it
The purpose of this pass is to catch constructions that fit into AST data structures, but not permitted by the language. As an example, `impl`s don't have visibilities, but for convenience and uniformity with other items they are represented with a structure `Item` which has `Visibility` field.
This pass is intended to run after expansion of macros and syntax extensions (and before lowering to HIR), so it can catch erroneous constructions that were generated by them. This pass allows to remove ad hoc semantic checks from the parser, which can be overruled by syntax extensions and occasionally macros.
The checks can be put here if they are simple, local, don't require results of any complex analysis like name resolution or type checking and maybe don't logically fall into other passes. I expect most of errors generated by this pass to be non-fatal and allowing the compilation to proceed.
I intend to move some more checks to this pass later and maybe extend it with new checks, like, for example, identifier validity. Given that syntax extensions are going to be stabilized in the measurable future, it's important that they would not be able to subvert usual language rules.
In this patch I've added two new checks - a check for labels named `'static` and a check for lifetimes and labels named `'_`. The first one gives a hard error, the second one - a future compatibility warning.

r? @nrc
The extra filename and line was mainly there to keep the indentation
relative to the main snippet; now that this doesn't include
filename/line-number as a prefix, it is distracted.
