Batch of improvements to errors for new error format
This is a batch of improvements to existing errors to help get the most out of the new error format.
* Added labels to primary spans (^^^) for a set of errors that didn't currently have them
* Highlight the source blue under the secondary notes for better readability
* Move some of the "Note:" into secondary spans+labels
* Fix span_label to take &mut instead, which makes it work the same as other methods in that set
Add error description for E0455
r? @GuillaumeGomez.
About this error there is no much thing to explain. The short description says enough to understand. Feel free to review.
typeck: if a private field exists, also check for a public method
For example, `Vec::len` is both a field and a method, and usually encountering `vec.len` just means that the parens were forgotten.
Fixes: #26472
NOTE: I added the parameter `allow_private` to `method::exists` since I don't want to suggest inaccessible methods. For the second case, where only the method exists, I think it would make sense to set it to `false` as well, but I wanted to preserve compatibility for this case.
gdb Pretty Print: generic encoded was failing on reference/pointer types
If you debug this program using **gdb**
```rust
fn main() {
let x = 10;
let y = Some(&x);
// additional code
}
```
And you try to print **y**'s value from the debugger, you get the following:
```
(gdb) print y
Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'> Cannot convert value to int.:
$1 = {RUST$ENCODED$ENUM$0$None = Some = {0x7fff5fbff97c}}
```
What happens is that inside **debugger_pretty_printers_common.py** the method `is_null_variant` doesn't have any special handling for pointer values so it ends up calling `.as_integer()` on `discriminant_val` (which holds a pointer) and fails.
Considering it needs to handle pointers and return _true_ when the pointer is _null_, I modified the `.as_integer()` method in **gdb_rust_pretty_printing.py** to take pointers into consideration.
After this modification **gdb** prints **y** like this:
```
(gdb) print y
$1 = Some = {0x7fff5fbff97c}
```
Now, it would be nice to print something useful (instead of a pointer address) but the pretty printer doesn't currently handle references/pointers so that's a completely different subject.
Some simple improvements to MIR pretty printing
In short, this PR changes the MIR printer so that it:
* places an empty line between the MIR for each item
* does *not* write an empty line before the first BB when there are no
var decls
* aligns the "// Scope" comments 50 chars in (makes the output more
readable)
* prints the scope comments as "// scope N at ..." instead of "//
Scope(N) at ..."
* prints a prettier scope tree:
* no more unbalanced delimiters!
* no more "Parent" entry (these convey no useful information)
* drop the "Scope()" and just print scope IDs
* no braces when the scope is empty

Improve derived implementations for enums with lots of fieldless variants
A number of trait methods like PartialEq::eq or Hash::hash don't
actually need a distinct arm for each variant, because the code within
the arm only depends on the number and types of the fields in the
variants. We can easily exploit this fact to create less and better
code for enums with multiple variants that have no fields at all, the
extreme case being C-like enums.
For nickel.rs and its by now infamous 800 variant enum, this reduces
optimized compile times by 25% and non-optimized compile times by 40%.
Also peak memory usage is down by almost 40% (310MB down to 190MB).
To be fair, most other crates don't benefit nearly as much, because
they don't have as huge enums. The crates in the Rust distribution that
I measured saw basically no change in compile times (I only tried
optimized builds) and only 1-2% reduction in peak memory usage.
Make AtomicBool the same size as bool
Reopening #32365
This allows `AtomicBool` to be transmuted to a `bool`, which makes it more consistent with the other atomic types. Note that this now guarantees that the atomic type will always contain a valid `bool` value, which wasn't the case before (due to `fetch_nand`).

[MIR trans] Optimize trans for biased switches
Currently, all switches in MIR are exhausitive, meaning that we can have
a lot of arms that all go to the same basic block, the extreme case
being an if-let expression which results in just 2 possible cases, be
might end up with hundreds of arms for large enums.
To improve this situation and give LLVM less code to chew on, we can
detect whether there's a pre-dominant target basic block in a switch
and then promote this to be the default target, not translating the
corresponding arms at all.
In combination with #33544 this makes unoptimized MIR trans of
nickel.rs as fast as using old trans and greatly improves the times for
optimized builds, which are only 30-40% slower instead of ~300%.

Remove unification despite ambiguity in projection
Turns out that closures aren't explicitly considered in `project.rs`, so the ambiguity handling w.r.t. closures can just be removed as the change done in `select.rs` covers it.

Don't use env::current_exe with libbacktrace
If the path we give to libbacktrace doesn't actually correspond to the
current process, libbacktrace will segfault *at best*.

Only break critical edges where actually needed
Currently, to prepare for MIR trans, we break _all_ critical edges,
although we only actually need to do this for edges originating from a
call that gets translated to an invoke instruction in LLVM.
This has the unfortunate effect of undoing a bunch of the things that
SimplifyCfg has done. A particularly bad case arises when you have a
C-like enum with N variants and a derived PartialEq implementation.
In that case, the match on the (&lhs, &rhs) tuple gets translated into
nested matches with N arms each and a basic block each, resulting in N²
basic blocks. SimplifyCfg reduces that to roughly 2*N basic blocks, but
breaking the critical edges means that we go back to N².
In nickel.rs, there is such an enum with roughly N=800. So we get about
640K basic blocks or 2.5M lines of LLVM IR. LLVM takes a while to
reduce that to the final "disr_a == disr_b".
So before this patch, we had 2.5M lines of IR with 640K basic blocks,
which took about about 3.6s in LLVM to get optimized and translated.
After this patch, we get about 650K lines with about 1.6K basic blocks
and spent a little less than 0.2s in LLVM.
