It makes it sound like the `ExprKind` and `Rvalue` are supposed to represent all pointer related
casts, when in reality their just used to share a some enum variants. Make it clear there these
are only coercion to make it clear why only some pointer related "casts" are in the enum.
To reproduce the changes in this commit locally:
- Run `./x test tidy` and remove all the output files not associated
with a test file anymore, as reported by tidy.
- Run `./x test tests/mir-opt --bless` to generate the new outputs.
Implement builtin # syntax and use it for offset_of!(...)
Add `builtin #` syntax to the parser, as well as a generic infrastructure to support both item and expression position builtin syntaxes. The PR also uses this infrastructure for the implementation of the `offset_of!` macro, added by #106934.

ConstProp into PlaceElem::Index.
Noticed this while looking at keccak output MIR.
This pass aims to replace `ProjectionElem::Index` with `ProjectionElem::ConstantIndex` during ConstProp.

Rename InstCombine to InstSimplify

Don't validate constants in const propagation
Validation is neither necessary nor desirable.
The constant validation is already omitted at mir-opt-level >= 3, so there there are not changes in MIR test output (the propagation of invalid constants is covered by an existing test in tests/mir-opt/const_prop/invalid_constant.rs).
Updates `interpret`, `codegen_ssa`, and `codegen_cranelift` to consume the new cast instead of the intrinsic.
Includes `CastTransmute` for custom MIR building, to be able to test the extra UB.
Remove `box_syntax`
r? `@Nilstrieb`
This removes the feature `box_syntax`, which allows the use of `box <expr>` to create a Box, and finalises removing use of the feature from the compiler. `box_patterns` (allowing the use of `box <pat>` in a pattern) is unaffected.
It also removes `ast::ExprKind::Box` - the only way to create a 'box' expression now is with the rustc-internal `#[rustc_box]` attribute.
As a temporary measure to help users move away, `box <expr>` now parses the inner expression, and emits a `MachineApplicable` lint to replace it with `Box::new`
Closes#49733
