Refactor vtable format for upcoming trait_upcasting feature.
This modifies vtable format:
1. reordering occurrence order of methods coming from different traits
2. include `VPtr`s for supertraits where this vtable cannot be directly reused during trait upcasting.
Also, during codegen, the vtables corresponding to these newly included `VPtr` will be requested and generated.
For the cases where this vtable can directly used, now the super trait vtable has exactly the same content to some prefix of this one.

Get back the more precise suggestion spans of old regionck
I noticed that when you turn on nll, the structured suggestion replaces a snippet instead of appending a snippet. It seems clearer to the user to only highlight the newly added characters instead of the entire `impl Trait` (and old regionck already does it this way).

CTFE/Miri engine Pointer type overhaul
This fixes the long-standing problem that we are using `Scalar` as a type to represent pointers that might be integer values (since they point to a ZST). The main problem is that with int-to-ptr casts, there are multiple ways to represent the same pointer as a `Scalar` and it is unclear if "normalization" (i.e., the cast) already happened or not. This leads to ugly methods like `force_mplace_ptr` and `force_op_ptr`.
Another problem this solves is that in Miri, it would make a lot more sense to have the `Pointer::offset` field represent the full absolute address (instead of being relative to the `AllocId`). This means we can do ptr-to-int casts without access to any machine state, and it means that the overflow checks on pointer arithmetic are (finally!) accurate.
To solve this, the `Pointer` type is made entirely parametric over the provenance, so that we can use `Pointer<AllocId>` inside `Scalar` but use `Pointer<Option<AllocId>>` when accessing memory (where `None` represents the case that we could not figure out an `AllocId`; in that case the `offset` is an absolute address). Moreover, the `Provenance` trait determines if a pointer with a given provenance can be cast to an integer by simply dropping the provenance.
I hope this can be read commit-by-commit, but the first commit does the bulk of the work. It introduces some FIXMEs that are resolved later.

r? `@oli-obk`
During well-formed checking, we walk through all types 'nested' in
generic arguments. For example, WF-checking `Option<MyStruct<u8>>`
will cause us to check `MyStruct<u8>` and `u8`. However, this is done
on a `rustc_middle::ty::Ty`, which has no span information. As a result,
any errors that occur will have a very general span (e.g. the
definintion of an associated item).
This becomes a problem when macros are involved. In general, an
associated type like `type MyType = Option<MyStruct<u8>>;` may
have completely different spans for each nested type in the HIR. Using
the span of the entire associated item might end up pointing to a macro
invocation, even though a user-provided span is available in one of the
nested types.
This PR adds a framework for HIR-based well formed checking. This check
is only run during error reporting, and is used to obtain a more precise
span for an existing error. This is accomplished by individually
checking each 'nested' type in the HIR for the type, allowing us to
find the most-specific type (and span) that produces a given error.
The majority of the changes are to the error-reporting code. However,
some of the general trait code is modified to pass through more
information.
Since this has no soundness implications, I've implemented a minimal
version to begin with, which can be extended over time. In particular,
this only works for HIR items with a corresponding `DefId` (e.g. it will
not work for WF-checking performed within function bodies).
This resolves all the problems we had around "normalizing" the representation of a Scalar in case it carries a Pointer value: we can just use Pointer if we want to have a value taht we are sure is already normalized.
Improve error reporting for modifications behind `&` references
I had a look at #84210 and noticed that #85823 has effectively already fixed#84210.
However, the string matching in #85823 is _very_ crude and already breaks down when a variable name starts with `mut`. I have made this a bit more robust; further improvements could definitely be made but are complicated by the lack of information provided by an earlier pass:
ce331ee6ee/compiler/rustc_mir_build/src/build/matches/mod.rs (L2103-L2107)
I have also fixed a missing comma in the error message.
