fix: Correct references from `rust-analyzer.cargo.check` to `rust-analyzer.check`
When reading the manual, I noticed that the documentation referenced configurations that have since been renamed. This PR updates those references to their new names.
Adds a Rust Analyzer configuration option to set a custom
target directory for builds. This is a workaround for Rust Analyzer
blocking debug builds while running `cargo check`. This change
should close#6007
Beginning of MIR
This pull request introduces the initial implementation of MIR lowering and interpreting in Rust Analyzer.
The implementation of MIR has potential to bring several benefits:
- Executing a unit test without compiling it: This is my main goal. It can be useful for quickly testing code changes and print-debugging unit tests without the need for a full compilation (ideally in almost zero time, similar to languages like python and js). There is a probability that it goes nowhere, it might become slower than rustc, or it might need some unreasonable amount of memory, or we may fail to support a common pattern/function that make it unusable for most of the codes.
- Constant evaluation: MIR allows for easier and more correct constant evaluation, on par with rustc. If r-a wants to fully support the type system, it needs full const eval, which means arbitrary code execution, which needs MIR or something similar.
- Supporting more diagnostics: MIR can be used to detect errors, most famously borrow checker and lifetime errors, but also mutability errors and uninitialized variables, which can be difficult/impossible to detect in HIR.
- Lowering closures: With MIR we can find out closure capture modes, which is useful in detecting if a closure implements the `FnMut` or `Fn` traits, and calculating its size and data layout.
But the current PR implements no diagnostics and doesn't support closures. About const eval, I removed the old const eval code and it now uses the mir interpreter. Everything that is supported in stable rustc is either implemented or is super easy to implement. About interpreting unit tests, I added an experimental config, disabled by default, that shows a `pass` or `fail` on hover of unit tests (ideally it should be a button similar to `Run test` button, but I didn't figured out how to add them). Currently, no real world test works, due to missing features including closures, heap allocation, `dyn Trait` and ... so at this point it is only useful for me selecting what to implement next.
The implementation of MIR is based on the design of rustc, the data structures are almost copy paste (so it should be easy to migrate it to a possible future stable-mir), but the lowering and interpreting code is from me.
Rename `checkOnSave` settings to `check`
Now that flychecks can be triggered without saving the setting name doesn't make that much sense anymore. This PR renames it to just `check`, but keeps `checkOnSave` as the enabling setting.
feat: add the ability to limit the number of threads launched by `main_loop`
## Motivation
`main_loop` defaults to launch as many threads as cpus in one machine. When developing on multi-core remote servers on multiple projects, this will lead to thousands of idle threads being created. This is very annoying when one wants check whether his program under developing is running correctly via `htop`.

## Contribution
This patch introduce the configuration option `rust-analyzer.numThreads` to set the desired thread number used by the main thread pool.
This should have no effects on the performance as not all threads are actually used.

## Demonstration
The following is a snippet of `lunarvim` configuration using my own build.
```lua
vim.list_extend(lvim.lsp.automatic_configuration.skipped_servers, { "rust_analyzer" })
require("lvim.lsp.manager").setup("rust_analyzer", {
cmd = { "env", "RA_LOG=debug", "RA_LOG_FILE=/tmp/ra-test.log",
"/home/jlhu/Projects/rust-analyzer/target/debug/rust-analyzer",
},
init_options = {
numThreads = 4,
},
settings = {
cachePriming = {
numThreads = 8,
},
},
})
```
## Limitations
The `numThreads` can only be modified via `initializationOptions` in early initialisation because everything has to wait until the thread pool starts including the dynamic settings modification support.
The `numThreads` also does not reflect the end results of how many threads is actually created, because I have not yet tracked down everything that spawns threads.
feat: Add an option to hide adjustment hints outside of `unsafe` blocks and functions
As the title suggests: this PR adds an option (namely `rust-analyzer.inlayHints.expressionAdjustmentHints.hideOutsideUnsafe`) that allows to hide adjustment hints outside of `unsafe` blocks and functions:
